Varied Vases Gate Fold Card

Create a simple thank you card using Varied Vases Stamp Set - Mary Fish ideas

Today’s gate fold card is highlighted by the Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set and Vases Builder Punch.  The set and punch were inspired by ME as recognition for reaching $1 million in sales last year.  They will be available individually and as a 10% off bundle starting June 1 when the Stampin’ Up! 2018-2019 Annual Catalog begins.  Here’s a link to my video with details and oodles of tips on using these products.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:

Create a gate fold card base using Thick Whisper White card stock and the Stampin’ Trimmer.  Cut card stock to 8 1/2 x 5 1/2.  Score at 2 1/8 and 6 3/8.

Layer and adhere a 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 piece of a Lovely Lipstick polka dot pattern on each front panel of the gate fold card.  The pattern is from the 2018-2020 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Pack.

Create a belly band using a 9.5 x 2 piece of Thick Whisper White card stock.  Score at 2 3/4 and 7 1/8 using a Stampin’ Trimmer.  Fold and adhere with seam in front.  Wrap Lovely Lipstick 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon around belly band and tie in a knot on the left.

Crop Basic Black card stock using an oval die from the Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies.  Adhere with Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown, covering belly band seam.

    • You’re never late to the party, Maria! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and kindness!

  2. Morning Mary, I have just received the Varied Vases bundle and am very excited to start creating. I was wondering when stamping the vases and flowers , do you like to stamp the outline image of the vase/flower first then the solid image or the other way around. I don’t have the Stamparatise. Many Thanks Jenny NZ

    • Good question, Jenny. Line image first and then solid 🙂 I demonstrate this in this video (about the 4:50 mark): https://stampinpretty.com/2018/04/new-video-for-the-varied-vases-bundle.html

  3. Good morning Mary Fish, Penny Knowles here from summer in Alaska and Winter in Florida : – ). I wanted to tell you that when I saw the varied vase, i knew i had to have it. It came today.
