Perfectly Preserved Raspberry Ripple Tri-fold Card

WOW! That title is a mouthful but I wanted to distinguish it from the post I did HERE using the pear from this fabulous stamp set! 

The inspiration for the Tri-fold card came from my up-line Linda Gutierrez. Her blog is Stamping Year Round and check out what she did with fabric Yoyos! After you see these projects you might just want to get in on the great fabric steal Stampin' Up! currently has going--Discontinued Designer Fabric Bundles for only 99 cents each! Each bundle includes 3 extra wide (27" x 18") fat quarters in coordinating fabrics. When was the last time you purchased even ONE fat quarter for under $1 and this offer is for THREE! This is one of those offers that when it's gone, it's gone so if you want to order some fat quarters email me today!

I FINALLY got all my swap cards done and ready to mail today. I don't know how the stampers do it when they have 50 or 100 swap cards to make! I only had 16 and felt like I was running a marathon!!! Did I tell you that I accidentally signed up for two swap places:( Oh well, that means I will get twice the number of cards back! I made the card with the pears for one group and the one above for the other group. I do have to say though that I love, love, love this stamp set!!! And the coordinating Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper!

• Paper: Raspberry Ripple, More Mustard and Very Vanilla cardstock; Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper
• Perfectly Preserved stamp set
• Classic Stampin' Pads: Raspberry Ripple, Lucky Limeade and Early Espresso
• Other: Dimensionals (of course), Linen Thread, Big Shot, Cannery Set Framelits Dies

Currently my top three Stampin' Up! stamp sets (in order) are:

1. Perfectly Preserved
2. Tea Shoppe
3. Creative Elements

But that could change depending on the day and my mood:) I love stamping and I love being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! My customers and my team members are the best ever!!! I love the support I get from other demonstrators who have nothing to gain from helping me. Currently Stampin' Up! has a promotion called  The Spooktacular Project Kit Offer. When you sign up as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator for only $99 you get $125 in Stampin' Up! product of your choice PLUS a $60 Halloween Project Kit! 

I would love having you as a member of my team. Email me today if you are interested.

Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by to visit.

Perfectly Preserved Tri-fold Card

Option #1 using Whisper White

I am sooo in LOVE with the new Perfectly Preserved stamp set and the Cannery Set Framelits Dies in the NEW Holiday Catalog! And let's not forget the Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper!!! When I saw the Holiday Catalog, Perfectly Preserved was my "must have" set! The best part is that when you purchase the Perfectly Preserved stamp set and the Cannery Set Framelits Dies at the same time you save 15%--it's called a bundle! 


You might recognize the card style from yesterday and in June 18-20. I really like this card style and am so thankful that Linda Gutierrez at Stamping Year Round gave her downline (that's me!) instructions on how to make them! I purchased the Perfectly Preserved Bundle and Orchard Harvest dsp to do my first ever swap--8 cards:) However I didn't have a clue how I was going to design the card because I am a "copier" not a "designer". After I made yesterday's card for my friend, I thought, "Hmmm, I wonder what the Perfectly Preserved would look like done as a Tri-fold card?" Then I got to work! In July I started sending each person in my downline a card to use as inspiration, to send or whatever. I decided to use them as my guinea pigs for this card! So girls, if you are reading this, be sure to check your mail box next week.


The card above was the first one I did and I think it turned out good but not great! When I woke up this morning I thought, "I wonder what that card would look like with Very Vanilla instead of Whisper White?" Well, a few cuts of the paper, some stamping and a few runs through the Big Shot and this is what the second one looks like.

Option #2 using Very Vanilla

In the first one I cut the jar topper out of the same dsp as the leaves and acorns--just the reverse side. I like the one I stamped in Island Indigo better.


Sooo, what Stampin' Up! products did I use to make these two ADORABLE cards?

• Paper: Island Indigo, Lucky Limeade, Whisper White on one and Very Vanilla on the other; Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper--LOVE it!!!
• Perfectly Preserved stamp set
• Classic Stampin' Pads: Island Indigo, Early Espresso and Lucky Limeade
• Big Shot, Cannery Set Framelits Dies, Linen Thread, Dimensionals

Second card opened up

I totally LOVE the colors in the Orchard Harvest dsp--Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, Island Indigo, More Mustard, Lucky Limeade and Raspberry Ripple! I want to try this card using several of the color combos:)

Which card do you like best and do you think the recipients of my swap will like it? I also have a single card swap that I think I will use this card for too! 

Have a great day and a wonderful weekend. I will be back on Sunday evening for the Sunday Night Chit-Chat!
