Not only was the Stampin' Up! Annual Incentive Cruise to Alaska glorious (check out a couple scenic pix at the end of this post), we got a chance to experiment with new Stampin' Up! products. I assembled this "Amazing Folding Card" (it's a Stampin' Up! card idea) at a Make and Take session using Sweets for the Sweet stamp set (available July 1 with the new catalog release).
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
- Finished size (closed) is 4 x 4".
-
Open size is 8 x 8 and scored (creased with a Bone Folder) as follows: Fold 8 x 8 Wisteria Wonder Card Stock in half. Open and turn 90 degrees and fold in half again. - Open and turn 45 degrees and fold with the stamped images on the outside, matching the opposite corners. Score with Bone Folder to create to create a triangle.
- Open and bring the same two corners together with the folded edges coming to the center to close.
- The Whisper White panels would be adorable with a photo, a special verse, sentiment or personal note.
The Wisteria Wonder candy treat (in the "bag") was jazzed up with Dazzling Diamonds. Just dab a two-way glue pen and sprinkle on your sparkle. Yum!- To see all my Sneak Peek card samples for the new Stampin' Up! Catalog (starts July 1) in one convenient place, click and bookmark this link!

Speaking of the Alaska cruise, Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Heather Summers (Canada) and I got together for a a couple scenic moments! That's a glacier behind us.
Qu? bella tarjeta!
I hope you were able to see the northern lights while in Alaska, its such an awesome sight. Love your cards.
Gorgeous card Mary!! Love the folds. Cute photos too! You do such amazing work! Hugs, J
What a ‘sweet’ card! Great instructions (thanks!) but I would love to see a video also. Thanks for sharing more cruise photos, as well as ideas you picked up on the cruise. You are such an inspiration!!
Neat card and photo idea is really great. Thanks for shating photos of cruise – they are great and you gals look like you are having so much fun. Nice that SU does this. Enjoy your Blog so much. HUGS to you!
Hey, Heather’s my upline!! 🙂 You are both my first morning blogs to visit. Both very talented ladies.
Such a precious card and I love the photos!
absolutely beautiful scenery and you too for sharing! Your ideas always always inspire me Thanks for sharing
Wisteria Wonder isn’t really gray . . . it’s closest to the retired color Almost Amethyst (in my opinion). You may find my color comparison chart helpful. http://www.stampinpretty.com/2011/06/meet-the-stampin-up-2011-2012-in-colors.html
Hugs, Mary
P.S. I’ll put the folding card on my 1 Minute to WOW idea list . . . thank you for the suggestion.
What a great make ‘n take … this is soooo cute! Love those new In-Colors!

I shouldn’t have been surprised to see you and Heather Summers in your Alaska photo…I love the two of you!!! Yours are the first 2 blogs I check every morning. Thank you for your continual inspiration Mary! BTW, I love your new creative space…been following along on Facebook.
Thanks for sharing this card – I love the folds…fancy but not confusing, haha! Your cruise must have been divine…beautiful scenery and stamping..woohoo!
I,too, would love a minute to wow video to learn how to make this card! Also, does the Wisteria Wonder have a lot of gray in it, or is it just because it’s next to the lime?
Congrats on the trip to Alaska.. you deserved it! You have the best SU blog by far!!
Have a great weekend!!
I think this card deserves an instructional video! Great pictures from your Alaska trip. Nancy
That is so neat to see my top two favorite stamin’ up! Blog people in one picture!!! I am so jealous!
Beautiful card. Love the layout! Tfs
