Let's Use Current & Retired Products ...

With so many choices we always have Retired Products on hand so let's use some along with some current products to create a fun fold card.

The Retired products I used are Regal Flora Cling Stamp Set #164152, Regal Winter 12"x12" DSP #164155 & Stampin' Write Markers with the following colors, Bubble Bath, Pretty in Pink, Highland Heather & Gorgeous Grape.

The Stampin' Write Markers are available as of the date of this post in the Last Chance category.  I love these markers are there is a "brush" tip and a "nib" tip.  I use the "nib" tip for journaling and addressing envelopes.  The "brush" tip is perfect for placing color on the Cling (red rubber) stamps.  I will post a clickable link for the Stampin' Write markers at the end of this post.  I have been using them for a couple years and have not had any go dry.  They are the same ink formula as the Classic Stampin' Pad and a perfect match to those.

Current products used as listed below with clickable links.

Let's make this card and here are the measurements & directions.

* Cardbase: 5-½" x 11" ~ Score @ 2", 3-¾", 7-¼" & 9"
* Greeting tab: cut for your specific greeting (3 pieces - ¼" border)
   (ie: mine are 1-¼" x 3-⅛", 1-¾" x 3-⅝" & 2-¼" x 4-⅛")
* DSP: 2 @ 1-¾" x 5-¼" & 2 @ 1-½" x 5-¼" 
* Inside: 3-¼" x 5-¼"

After folding the score lines, attach pieces as follows.

* Adhere the 2 larger DSP "mats" to the far left & far right panels as shown
* Adhere the 2 smaller DSP "mats" to the inside panels as shown
* Adhere the 3-¼" x 5-¼" to the inside, center of the card for sentiment
*The sentiment piece should be adhered to the left most panels only

I used the Stampin' Write markers mentioned in the beginning of this post on my cling (red rubber) stamp for the image placed on the inside.

Brushed Brass Butterflies are placed on the front panels & sentiment.

Please reach out if any questions and Happy creating,
