Criss Cross and a Fun Fold

This fun fold has a special element on the card front. I selected the sheet of Florals in Bloom Designer Series Paper to use on this card because the Granny Apple Green/Berry Brust color combo made me happy. 


Score and burnish the Berry Burst cardstock. 

On the Basic White cardstock stamp stem from Pretty Florals using Granny Apple Green ink. Next ink up the solid blossom stamp in Berry Burst and stamp off before stamping over the stem. Ink the lined blossom stamp in Berry Burst and stamp full strength over the solid image. Insert this piece inside the card base. 

Adhere the larger piece of Designer Series Paper on the inside of the right flap. Adhere the two other pieces on the front and inside of the left flap. 

Fold three pieces of the Designer Series Paper strips as shown and fold the other two in the opposite direction.



Take one of the first strips and adhere it to the front flap as shown, the folded edge a little below the top of the card, and the left tip touching the left edge of the flap. 
Use on of the strips folded the opposite way and adhere the folded edges together. Continue this back-and-forth pattern until you use the five strips.

Stamp the sentiment on the small Basic White cardstock in Memento Black. Adhere to the small Berry Burst cardstock and adhere this to the front left side of the card. 

Add Rhinestones to the right flap. 

Add a greeting from you and mail to someone special.


Enjoy the beauty in each day.

A Horizontal Front Flap card

Image
  What a cute idea for a card opening and I love the dual use of the Blooming Phrases stamp set. First let's do the folding of the card. Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 8 x 6 3/4 being mindful of any pattern you have to consider, using a landscape orientation. Score on the left side and top at 2 3/4. Fold and gently burnish the left score line and make a tic mark as indicated. Now fold and burnish the top score line the same way, making the tic mark as indicated. To create the diagonal score, match the tic marks up on your paper trimmer and make the score, fold and burnish To create the fold, push the diagonal fold in and create the square on the top of the Designer Series Paper. Adhere this to the Daffodil Delight Card base. Now for the fun part, the stamping. On the Basic White square, stamp the greeting in Old Olive ink. To create the flower stems, use the "tail end" of the greeting stamp  Create seven stems of different lengths with Old Olive ink. Stamp the flowe...
