Friendly Hello Fancy Fold

Hello stampers,

So I haven't gotten a lot of stamping done the last few days, I'm trying to organize all my retired cardstock & get it out so I can use it, I've got so much. Yes, I have a "hoarding" problem when it comes to supplies & a lot of it stemmed from having 2 separate areas when I lived in NY that was separated into current & retired stuff. So you'll be seeing stuff that maybe you have in your stash & haven't used or you can easily substitute for like in the card I used today.

So this past weekend I virtually attended Creativate & below is one of the cards we were shown how to make, it's a fancy fold type of card. I started off the card with the retired Naturals White Cardstock, followed by a layer of Friendly Hello DSP. Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies I cut a rectangle out of the front of the card & saved those 2 pieces to be used later. Next, I made a frame out of Naturals White Cardstock to go on the outside which used the 2 largest rectangles.

For the inside, I used a 2nd smaller card base (5.25x8) scoring at 4 & 6" to make the inside. On the outer lip, I used a small piece from the Friendly Hello DSP, I then used 2 of the pieces that were cut out from the front & attached them to the lip. I then took the 2 middle rectangle dies & cut them from Petal Pink Cardstock & again from the Naturals White Cardstock, stamping on the smallest rectangle with Petal Pink Ink a sentiment from the Friendly Hello Stamp Set before attaching to the vertical rectangle using Stampin' Dimensionals. Inside the card, I added another sentiment from the set using Memento Black Ink & stamping the 2 flowers in Petal Pink Ink. Once the card was all put together I decided to add a few Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels.
