Welcome to our Creativity Abounds Blog Hop. We are a group of very keen Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world who are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. 

We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can inspire you to make creations of your own. You may be starting here or you may have come from someone else's blog - either way there is a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get many amazing ideas. We all have our country listed - so if you are looking for a demonstrator in your country, these demonstrators would love to look after you with your Stampin' Up!® shopping or if you would like to join our Stampin' Up!® teams. 

Here's our amazing Creativity Abounds Design Team! 

This month our theme is Fancy Fold cards!  I love making fancy fold cards and I love getting new ideas from this amazing Design Team!  I created a Joy Fold card using the Oceanfront and On the Horizon Stamp Sets.  This was the first fancy fold card I learned to make many years ago!  The Oceanfront and On the Horizon Stamp Sets coordinate beautifully and made it easy to create this pretty card.

Instructions

1. Cut Misty Moonlight card stock 4 1/4" x 8 1/2".  Score at 5 1/2" and fold on score line to form card base.
2. Cut Basic White card stock 4" x 5 1/4" and adhere to the inside of the card
3. Cut Soft Seafoam card stock 2 7/8" x 4 1/8" and adhere to the front flap of the card base
4. Cut Designer Series Paper 2 3/4" x 4" and adhere to the front flap of the card base.
5. Cut Misty Moonlight card stock 3" x 8".  Score at 4" and fold on score line to form small card base.
6. Adhere to the inside of the card so that the front flap of the small base overlaps the front flap of the card base.
7. Cut Soft Seafoam card stock 2 7/8" x 3 7/8" and adhere to the front flap
8. Cut Basic White card stock 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
9. Stamp sky image using Pool Party ink
10. Stamp grass image using Soft Seafoam ink
11. Stamp large plant using Soft Seafoam Ink
12. Stamp smaller plant using Old Olive Ink
13. Stamp sentiment using Misty Moonlight ink
14. Stamp birds using Misty Moonlight ink
15. Cut Basic White card stock 2 7/8" x 3 7/8"
16. Stamp plant using Old Olive Ink in bottom right corner
17. Adhere to the inside of the small base.
18. Adhere Faux Sea Glass Shapes
