Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop!
This month, the theme is our Favorites from the New Catalog. We hope to inspire you with our creations today! You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.
For this month’s blog hop, I created a fun fold card with two of my favorite bundles, Spotlight On Nature and Thoughtful Wishes. I started with a Boho Blue card base, 8 1/2″ X 4 1/4″, scored at 3″. The 3″ fold is the front, which I covered with Thoughtful Journey Designer Paper, 2 3/4″ X 4″. The same design was used for the inside, 2 3/4″ X 4″, and 5 1/4″ X 4″.
Fun Fold Favorites
Spotlight On Nature Dies were used to cut circles from Thoughtful Journey DSP. I used two sheets of the same design, which enabled me to match the pattern across the card, cut the circles, the wildflowers, and the branch. I backed the front circle with Boho Blue Cardstock, and carefully glued all the circles. I wanted the smaller circle, on the inside, to be covered, while leaving the larger circle exposed.
After gluing the circles, I stamped the sentiments from the Thoughtful Wishes Stamp Set. However, I recommend doing this prior to gluing, in case of a mishap. I stamped “You make life better” on the outside, and “I appreciate you” on the inside, in Night Of Navy Ink. I also stamped leaves on the inside, from the Spotlight On Nature Stamp Set, in Soft Sea Foam Ink.
After layering the wildflowers and branch for thickness, I glued them in place. Then, I added three Brushed Brass Butterflies as a final touch.
Thank you for visiting!

Super card Sue!
Beautiful card! Love this DSP and these dies.
Thank you, Donna! I’m so glad you like it!
This card is beautiful. I am trying to CASE it for an anniversary for a friend. I am wondering if you didn’t use 3 sheets to make it all match. I am not seemingly able to get it with 2 sheets. Maybe I am not measuring right. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe and pictures!!
Thank you, Verna! I don’t remember exactly how I cut the pieces, but pretty sure I just used two sheets.
Did you make a video on the card?
Sorry, Vickie, no video.
I’m so happy you joined me with the Spotlight on Nature bundle, Su! I ended up not using the dies at all but I love them. And the Thoughtful Journey bundle is another great one that I love, as well. What a great fun fold to showcase them both! I sure wish you’d join the fun fold blog hop again. Thanks for joining the blog hop this month.
Thank you, Debbie! I just might join the fun fold blog hop again!
