I found this Clean and Simple card I made at a Demonstrator Shoebox Swap a few months ago. I thought it would be an idea to share with you. I may tweaked it a tad since a lot of shoebox swaps find me socializing more that stamping right at the moment. LOL. But but my friend, Sarah Rigby, prepped the card for us:)
I added in the diagonal Night of Navy strip above the sentiment, and think maybe another one may look nice between the retired Regency Park DSP and the Cane 3D embossed triangles. A simple stamping of posies finishes off the inside. I am so happy that the Stampin’ UP! Sentimental Park and Petal Park carried over into the Annual Catalog! I have had a lot of fun using it!
Oh, that Stampin’ UP! Little Monkey is just too darn cute!
I have a monthly Team Mystery Stamping, and this is the card I made that night. I send out measurements and materials needed for two cards, and we come together to make our own cards with different stamps, dies, and paper we have on hand. I then give instructions, and we all share our cards at the end. It is fun to see what everyone comes up with!
Here is the inside of my card:
Measurements: Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″ on the 11″ side. After you score cut off 2-3/4″ from one side to use later, White inside: 4″ x 5-1/4″ and White on front left side flap 2-1/2″ x 3-3/4″, Stamped Old Olive cardstock on the front and the inside: 3-3/4″ x 4-5/8 cut as seen in video so you have 2-1/4″ x 3-3/4″ and 2-3/8″ x 3-3/4″, White on front panel of card with branches: 1-3/4″ x 2-3/4″ bordered by 2″ x 3″ Old Olive and then 2-1/4″ x 3-1/4″ Pecan Pie card stock
Here is a video of a card using this technique. Just follow the directions and measurements. On my card, I stamped on the Old Olive card stock instead of using Designer Series Paper.
Product List
I used Petal Pink for the face of the monkey- I forgot it in the Product List.
I enjoyed using three NEW colors on this card- a new Subtle Bubble Bath, and the new In Colors 2023-2025 Moody Mauve and Wild Wheat. All the colors were pulled out of the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper.
I used Light Bubble Bath and Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends to color the bird on the branch with berries stamped in Moody Mauve ink on a Wild Wheat inked branch.
I love the blend of DSP, embossing, and the opening to the inside.
It is quite easy to do…watch this video:

I played along with the Tic Tac Toe Challenge at the Paper Players 638 this weekend.
I chose middle vertical- layers, die cut, fun/fancy fold.
It fits in an A2 envelope and then folds out:) Bordering the panels with Basic Black really makes the Petal Pink cardstock base stand out.
I colored the image of the raccoon which was white on the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper and then popped it up off the DSP. I also colored int he elephant in the top left corner. The sentiment was cut out with a rectangle die from the NEW Timeless Arrangement Dies and the pennant die from Stylish Shapes Dies.
I colored in Mr. Turtle with Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends after stamping him in the middle of the fun fold. The scallop die is found in the Zany Zoo Dies.
I colored in the balloons I stamped from the top of the raccoon image with Lemon Lolly, Petal Pink, Pool Party, and Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends.
