Here's a fun-fold card idea using the Share A Milkshake Stamp Set and Dies and just about any Designer Series Papers and matching cardstock.  I'm using a color theme of Granny Apply Green, Fresh Freesia, Pecan Pie, Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Basic White, and Sweet Sorbet for the front and inside of my card.   I created layers of Fresh Freesia and Dandy Designer 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper in interesting layers that flip up and flip open to display die cuts on the front and inside of the card.  I stamped a sentiment from the Go To Greetings Stamp Set in Granny Apple Green Ink and added Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems from the Tinsel Gems Three-Pack to add a little bling. You'll delight seeing the reaction to this fun fold card when you give it to someone you love.    

The basecard for the card above is Granny Apple Green Cardstock.    Then a layer of Fresh Freesia Cardstock, which is an additional foldout.  The triangle flaps are a polka dot print from the Dandy Designs 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, as I continue to use up some of my cute retired papers. You'll also find plenty of current polka dots in the Inked Botanicals 6" X 6" Designer Series Paper or the In Color 6" X 6" Designer Series Papers...or use just about any patterned paper from your stash with complementary Cardstock! On my card, the main image area is also a piece of the polka dot print from the Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper, which is matted in Granny Apple Green Cardstock.

The measurements for these layers are:

• Granny Apply Green Matte for Card Base:  5-1/2" X 4-1/4"
• Fresh Freesia Card Base - 5-1/4" X 8", scored at 4" 
• Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper - 3-1/2" X 3-1/2" and 2-1/2 X 4"
• Granny Apple Green Matte for Front Flap - 2-3/4 X 4-1/4"
• Basic White - 5-1/4" X 4" and 1" X 2-1/2 (Sentiment)

  

Next, I cut the 3-1/2" X 3-1/2" piece of Designer Series Paper in half diagonally creating two tringles.  I scored them at at 1/2" from the long side, and attached them with glue to the back side of my Granny Apple Green matte, leaving the front side loose.  Then I attached the folded Fresh Freesia basecard to the Granny Apple Green matte.  I assembled the 2-1/2 X 4" Designer Series Paper to it 2-3/4 X 4-1/4" Granny Apple Green matte.  Then I carefully positioned the layer equal distanced between the two Designer Series Paper triangles and glued just the top of the image area matte to the top triangle point.      

  

Finally, I created a double dipped ice cream cone for the card front and an ice cream sundae die cut for the inside of the card.  The Share a Milkshake Stamp Set and Dies created all of these die cut pieces. I used Crumb Cake for the cone base, and stamped the ice cream in Fresh Freesia ink and Pecan Pie ink on Basic white cardstock, die cut them and glued them together.  The sentiment is from Go To Greeting and is stamped in Granny Apple Green Ink, and a few Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems were added for Bling.  The die cuts on the inside of the card were stamped with Smoky Slate ink for the sundae bowl and spoon, Pool Party ice cream, and a Sweet Sorbet cherry -- all stamped on Basic White Cardstock.

See all the Online Exclusives recently introduced 

New, Online Exclusives.  Check the Stampin' Up! store to see several new stamp sets, coordinating dies and, new papers and accessories that all coordinate.  These items will only be available on line; these items are not in the catalogs, so be sure to visit the online store to see these items.  .  

Why does Stampin' Up! offer Online Exclusives?  Many reason, but one of the most important for me is that these products have an open-ended sales period. This means that unlike catalog merchandise that retires at the end of each catalog Online Exclusives have a longer exposure.  Also, Online Exclusives can react quickly to provide more niche products or relevant trends.  This allows Stampin' Up! to have something for everyone.  

This also means that Online Exclusives will be released throughout the year rather than just with the three yearly catalogs or mini catalog.
