2 Card Projects Made With The StampinUP Dies Called Picture This

This card was SO easy to make!! I used the New Horizons Designer Paper & the featured Picture This Dies. Both the sentiment and the bird images come from the stamp set called On The Horizon (pg. 43 in the current Spring Mini Catalog).

I used the same dies mentioned above on this card. They can be found in the Annual Catalog on pg. 164. Also from that catalog, I used the Beauty of the Earth designer paper.

The Timber 3D Embossing folder made the texture on the Crumb Cake card base. The trees and the grass were cut out with the Horizon Dies.

If you have any questions and or comments, please let me know!! If you want to check out any of the products used on these 2 cards, I can help you!! If you do not already have a StampinUP demonstrator that you use, I would love to be that person!! Thanks for visiting-- Lori

This pretty card was designed by Kim Baker of Hennepin, IL and made by me. We had a demonstrator Basket Swap a few months ago, and I just realized I did not post this fun fold card yet on my blog!!

Here is the card all opened up. It features the gorgeous You're A Peach designer paper and the Welcoming Window stamp set. This fabulous double "Z" fold card was super easy to put together. My friend Kim had everything cut, prepped, and ready to assemble!! (don't you just love attending classes when all the prep work has been done for you?) If you live in Central IL, and would like to attend a card making class, please contact me for a schedule : )

View from above so you can see the way it folds up to fit in our regular size envelope.

--Gold Fine Art Ribbon
