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.
Crop vases from the Lovely Lipstick stripe and polka dot patterns (2018-2020 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Pack) using the Vases Builder Punch. Adhere striped vase using Snail Adhesive and polka dot pattern using a Stampin’ Dimensional.
Stamp three flowers (Varied Vases Photopolymer Stamp Set) in Basic Black Archival Ink on Lovely Lipstick card stock. Use Paper Snips to snip each and adhere using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown.
Stamp exterior sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink on Whisper White card stock. Crop the sentiment using the Big Shot, Magnetic Platform and the flagged end die from Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies.
Stamp interior sentiment as shown above using Basic Black Archival Ink.

Hello Mary: sorry I’m so late with this comment, my internet was on the brink yesterday and for the better part of the morning, it was a real pain.
But I wanted to say that this samples of your cards are simply adorable, those adorable vases will make beautiful cards for all occasions.
Thank you for sharing.
XO
Maria.
You’re never late to the party, Maria! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and kindness!
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
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. I love this sample of your card today. Just awesome and i love the little ones with the square frames. Thanks so much for the great ideas. Have a great afternoon. HUGS Penny

LOVE your gate fold card !
Thanks so much, Jeanne. They are so simple to make and remind me of a gift package in their design!
I agree, Mary, the new 6×6 DSP in all color collections will be so versatile. Your stamp set and the DSP in all colors will be at the top of my list. I love this pretty card in Lovely Lipstick and the gate fold with the belly band make it a fun card for the recipient. Have a great day!
This card would work in all the other colors of the 6 x 6 DSP collections, HJ. I love that the two polka dot and two stripe patterns are versatile and “card-friendly.”
Love this card. This was my #1 on my pre-order. I just am so happy to know you and have your set.

That warms my heart. Thank you, Nancy. I’m so happy to know you, too! The amazing relationships we form with our passion for paper crafting!
Your Varied Vases Bundle was the first thing I selected on my demo pre-order…….And I am SO HAPPY with all the possibilities in store for me with this bundle.
Your gate fold card is FANTASTIC and hands down……Lovely Lipstick is one of my favorite new In-Colors. THANKS for sharing with us.
It’s a close race between Lovely Lipstick and Blueberry Bushel for me, Kadie. Thanks for commenting today!
Bold and vibrant! Loving this color and this amazing bundle!
Thanks, Brian. I sure enjoy the sweet patterns of the 6 x 6 designer series paper. I plan to get them in all the color collections because they are SO versatile and fun!
