Welcome to week 35 of our 2021-22 Colour Creations blog hop! Tonight we are showcasing Petal Pink from the Subtles family.
My cards tonight use the stunning Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper and the Friendly Hello Stamp Set from the The Friendly Hello Bundle, which is one of the free SALE-a-bration products.
The Friendly Hello DSP is so versatile. Some images from the stamp set are designed to be stamped directly onto the paper, some of the papers are printed to look like they have already been stamped on and all the designs can just be used as they are.
To showcase this beautiful DSP I’ve made a couple of “joy fold” fancy fold cards. This simple fancy fold is a “smaller card within a card”, with the front flaps overlapping and it is a great fancy fold for using beautiful DSP.
This 30 second video shows you how this fancy fold works.
Card one is on a Basic Black card base with the top card opening to the left and the base card opening to the right. Instead of using DSP on the front of the top card, I stamped the bird from the Friendly Hello stamp set and the sentiment from the Special Moments stamp set, another free SALE-a-bration stamp set.
I quickly coloured the bird and the flowers using light and dark Petal Pink Stampin’ Blends.
Here is how my joy cards look as you open up the front flap…
…And the middle flap. This inside sentiment is also from the Special Moments stamp set.
And from above!
My second card is on a Basic White card base with the top card opening to the right, the base card opening to the left and DSP on the front flap.
To create the “Hello” sentiment I used a Post It note to mask off the word “friend” from one of the Friendly Hello stamps, inked up the stamp and them removed the post it note BEFORE stamping the sentiment onto Basic White card stock.
Both cards are embellished with the Petal Pink Elegant Faceted Gems.

I’m a big fan of pops of black with pale pink, so I absolutely adore your cards! The Joy Fold is delightful.
Two gorgeous fun fold cards Catherine. I’m gravitating towards the white card base as my favourite (no surprise there – lol), but the black base is equally lovely. I’m so glad that Sale-a bration has been extended to March 16th because this bundle is beautiful and I want to do so much more with it. Your cards are so inspiring xx
Aww, your cards certainly are joyous, Cath, in this joy fold design. I love how it showcases so much of the gorgeous DSP. I love the softness of the white card base, but the black is quite stunning too! The video is fantastic to show how they work! well done.
Cathy both of your cards are just beautiful and the simple colour combination with white a black is striking. Great video too.
Great work on the video Cath, have subscribed and looking forward to seeing more. Really love the simplicity of your colour combination. Your customers will be delighted to receive these cards.
Absolutely gorgeous
I’m so glad you included a video, to fully show the beauty of your cards, Cathy … they are gorgeous! You’ve shown off this beautiful product bundle to perfection. I really like how striking the black mats are with Petal Pink, but love the white backgrounds even more. Such lovely cards!
You have done this gorgeous paper justice with your lovely cards Catherine. Thanks for the cute video. Love it!!!
Beautiful cards Cathy, I love the Friendly Hello paper on the black card base and the faceted gems are the perfect finishing touch.
Your cards are both so lovely Cathy and I love this fancy fold. I think your first card with the pretty bird as a focal point and the black card base is very striking.
