Good Morning and Happy Monday! I hope you had a great Fall weekend! If you happened to catch the Inkin’ Krew World Card Making Day Event, maybe you got a chance to see the video for my Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral fun fold card. If not, I’ve linked up the video below so you can check it out. You can also find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

Here is the video that I made for the Inkin’ Krew WCMD event. You can also view it on my YouTube Channel:
I adhered the floral panels of Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to the inside and short front flap of the Calypso Coral card base with liquid glue. I adhered the dotted DSP to the short Calypso Coral panel that I cut off the front flap.

After adhering the floral DSP to the card base, I worked on the inside. I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Florals stamp set in Calypso Coral ink in the lower corner of a Basic White panel. I stamped the stems in Garden green ink and then adhered the panel to a Calypso Coral mat with Stampin’ Seal. I then adhered the layered inside panel to the floral inside of the card, centering the panel on the designer series paper.

Then I adhered the layered dotted designer series paper panel to the short front flap with liquid glue, being careful to apply glue to only the left half of the panel. I also wanted to make sure that the inside panel was covered and the liquid glue gave me the wiggle room to make sure it was placed properly.

I cut the wide leaf sprig die from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral dies from Garden Green and the small leaf sprig die from Lost lagoon. I adhered the leaf sprigs to the dotted panel with bits of glue dots (I think liquid glue would work too). I stamped the flowers from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Calypso Coral ink on Basic White and stamped the stems in Garden Green. I cut out the flowers with the coordinating die and adhered it to the panel with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Textured Floral stamp set in Lost Lagoon ink on Basic White and cut it out with the long skinny banner die from the Stylish Shapes dies. I adhered the label to the card front with dimensionals and finished the card with Calypso Coral Iridescent gems and a knotted length of Lost Lagoon ribbon.
I love how the greenery dies and stamped flowers in the Stampin’ Up! Textured Florals bundle compliment the Garden Walk 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. And the simple fun fold gives the card just a little something extra.
