Stampin’ Up! Hand-Penned Petals Sneak Peek Tower Fun Fold Card

Happy Hawwmp Day, y’all!  Thank you to everyone for all the kind words about Katy that you left in the comments and e-mails yesterday.  I truly appreciate each and every one of you! 🙂

My card today is another Tower fun fold – and is the subject of the Wednesday Tutorial over at Split Coast Stampers – complete with a video!  Hope you’ll check it out!

This fun-fold has become one of my faves – it REALLY looks complicated until you sort of “break it down”!  I made one previously with the new Pansy Petals suite (see it – plus a Video Tutorial – right here!) and this one today is another fave – the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set and bundled Penned Flowers Dies, plus the gorgeous Hand-Penned DSP.   Take a look-see:

I started this one with a piece of Pale Papaya card stock (avail on 4 May in the new catalog!) that I scored and cut according to this template, using my trusty Simply Scored Board and Paper Trimmer.

Then I folded the score lines according to this template:

Once it was a “tower” – I began to decorate, using the pretty new Hand-Penned Suite of goodies!

I matted pieces of the new Hand-Penned DSP on Misty Moonlight cardstock and, using Liquid Glue, adhered them to the front and back panels of the card base.

I cut three largest Stitched Shapes squares – two in Misty Moonlight and one in Basic White.  Tip:  if you don’t have the Stitched Shapes set already, it is – SADLY!! – sold out.  You can simply cut 2 5/8″ squares of the cardstock.

I adhered the Misty Moonlight squares to the card front with Liquid Glue – tipping them up into diamonds.

I stamped the Hand-Penned Petals sentiment in Misty Moonlight onto the white square and then adhered it over the other two squares.

On a piece of new Soft Succulent cardstock, I stamped the two-step wildflower image from Hand-Penned Petals in Soft Succulent ink and cut them with the matching die from Penned Flowers.  I adhered them both to the card front with Liquid Glue.

Next, I stamped the large flower image from Hand-Penned Petals in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink and colored it with the new Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent Stampin’ Blends (avail 4 May) as well as the Daffodil Delight Blends (avail now!).  Then I cut it with its Penned Flowers Die.

I popped the flower onto the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals, added a Genial Gem (new and available on 4 May!) and the card front was done!

For the back panel, I stamped the flower in Tuxedo Black on a Basic White panel and colored it as I’d done the flower on the front!  I also added another of the Genial Gems – cuz I really really like them!! 😉

I used Liquid Glue to adhere the panel to a Misty Moonlight mat and onto the back of the card base and the card was done!

My Basic White Medium Envelope got more Hand-Penned Petals flowers on the front…

…and more of the Hand-Penned DSP on the envelope flap.

Et Voila!  Hard to say what I like better – the cool Tower Fun Fold or the new and wunnermus Hand-Penned Petals Bundle and Hand-Penned DSP!  I think it might be a toss up and have officially decided that I don’t have to choose!  I can love them both!

I hope you like!
