Sunflower Fields Fun Fold

I received this interesting fun fold at the event in Grand Rapids, MI. Sadly, if I had the info of who made it, it's been lost. The base is actually a piece of 2-Tone Mossy Meadow cardstock, as you need a 12" long piece to create the fold! (Unless, you have our regular 12" x 12" cardstock!) The rest appears to be pretty forward! (Remember, I received this, I haven't made it!)

Measurements:

Daffodil Delight: 1/4 sheet
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5", 1 3/4" x 2 3/4" (label)
Mossy Meadow 2-Tone Cardstock: 5 1/4" x 12"
Sunflower Fields DSP (N): 2 pcs @ 1 1/4" x 5", 3 1/4" x 5" (Pecan Pie check);2 3/4" x 5", 3 1/4" x 5" (Pecan Sunflower print)

To Make This Card:

Score Mossy Meadow base @ 1 1/2" - 5 1/2" - 9". Accordion fold. Crease well, and adhere largest, center area to Daffodil "post card" base.
Stamp White, inside layer, with "sunflower" in Cajun Craze and "leaves" in Mossy Meadow, in the corner, as shown.
Then, adhere to center section of card base.
Next, adhere the 2 Pecan Pie check pieces to the front and back of the small flaps.
Then, adhere the Sunflower pieces, as shown. And the larger, Pecan Pie check piece, to the back.
Fold all back into place. Isn't it a neat effect!?
To finish the card, stamp sentiment in Cajun Craze ink, and die cut with label die from the Radiant Sunflower dies.
Add a strip of Mossy Meadow Gingham Ribbon behind label, and adhere to front of card with Dimensionals.
FInish with Radiant Gems.

Another Gorgeous Foiled Leaves Card #2

Here is another awesome card by Jackie Bolhuis! This one adds a layer of foiled Crumb Cake, and a Reverse Foiled leaf, as well as another beautiful foiled scalloped circle. These are just so fun, easy, and beautiful!

Measurements:

Very Vanilla: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/4" square (foiled & die cut circle), 2" x 3 1/4" (reverse foiled leaf)
Crumb Cake: 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic Black: 1/4 sheet
Copper Foil (N)

To Make This Card:

I began by hot foiling all the components first. So, I began with the Crumb Cake layer Hot Foiled in Copper Foil with the Botanical Glow Hot Foiling Die.
You can, then adhere that to the folded Very Vanilla base.
Next, "Reverse" Hot Foil the "scrap" from the previous card leaf. I just cut around the leaf that I wanted to use, which was the "largest" leaf. Reverse foil onto piece of Vanilla with the Reverse Foiling Die. Then, die cut with Lustrous Leaves Die. Set aside.
Now, Hot Foil the medium decorative circle onto the Very Vanilla square, and then die cut with the small dots corresponding die. Adhere that to the front of card.
And, lastly, either hot foil, or select from the previous card, the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil words. These are always nice to have ready to go, in several color combinations, for your projects.
Select a sentiment from the Fabulous & Framed stamps and stamp onto the Very Vanilla circle near the bottom of the circle. I stamped in Early Espresso, but any color will work.
Next, add leaf over scalloped circle, as shown, and top with a foiled sentiment that coordinates with your stamped sentiment.
Finish with a Linen Thread bow, and a few scattered Iridescent Pearls.

Winter Adventure Surprise Pop-Up Card

Another unassuming card with a fun surprise inside! This is also a version from Frenchie, but with my own twist to it! I just love this bundle from the Online Exclusives, that will take us from Christmas into Winter!! And, it uses one of my favorite InColors - Peaceful Pine!

Measurements:

Peaceful Pine (N): 1/2 sheet, 1 1/2" x 5" (mechanism), 5/8" x 3" (label)
Basic Black: 4" x 5 1/4" (front), 3 1/2" x 4" (inside die cut), 2" x 3" (die cut trees)
Basic Beige: 4" x 4 1/4" (inside), 2" x 3" (die cut trees)
Crumb Cake:3" x 3 1/2" (snow shoes)
Alpine Winter DSP (N) (OE): 3 3/4" x 5" (Peaceful Pine w/ trees), 1 3/8" strip (Peaceful Pine Buffalo Check)

To Make This Card:

Let's create the Pop Up Mechanism first.
Take the 1 1/2" x 5" mechanism piece and score @ 1/2" the full length of the strip.
Along that score line, measure in 1" from the left edge and make a mark (see above).
Along the top edge, measure in 2" from the left edge and make a mark.
From the top-left corner, score a diagonal line down to the 1" mark.
From the 2" mark at the top, score a daigonal line down to that same, 1" mark. These two diagonals form a "V" meeting at the point on the score line.
Cut off the bottom-left corner (see above) - the small rectangle below the score line and to the left of the 1" mark. (Shown in purple above).
Fold along the scored lines: the "V" folds inward, creating the pop-up mechanism.
To create the pop-up inside, place adhesive onto the outside "triangle", with this space folded up. Adhere to "inside" of card with the "side" edge following the top edge of the inside of the card, and the "top" edge of the strip following the center crease of the card.
Next, place adhesive on the long 1/2" edge. Close card, with angles into place and 1/2" strip will adhere to the inside back of the card.
Voila! Check to make sure the "mechanism" pops.
To finish the rest of the inside, Die cut the "Scenic Frame" from the Winter Adventure Dies in Basic Black, as well as the 2 trees. The "Scenic Frame" can be "embossed" with the Impressions Plate. It really looks a lot better!
I added Wink of Stella to all the "trees".
Next, die cut 2 "Snow Shoes" also from the Winter Adventure Dies in Crumb Cake.
Let's "arrange" these pieces. Overlap the 2 "Snow Shoes" as shown.
I, then, added color to the retired Black & White Gingham Ribbon with a Lt Peaceful Pine Blend, and then tied a small piece around the "Snow Shoes", then add this piece to the "frame", as shown.
Next, center on the flip up and adhere. Also add the larger Black tree.
The Basic Beige piece gets adhered below. Stamp sentiment in Basic Black ink.
On the inside left side, I added a 1 3/8" x 5 1/2" strip of Peaceful Pine Buffalo Plaid DSP, along with the Small Tree.
The inside is done! Now, for the outside!
Attach Basic Black layer to the front, along with the DSP.
Next, add a 1 3/8" x 3 7/8" strip of Peaceful Pine Buffalo Plaid DSP to the front.
Die cut 2 trees from Basic Beige. Add Wink of Stella and adhere over DSP piece, as shown.
Now, emboss sentiment in Black Embossing Powder onto strip of Peaceful Pine. Add to card front with Dimensionals, as shown.
To finish the front, I added another colored Gingham knot near the sentiment, and scattered new, Snowflakes Gems.
For the inside, I added 2 black Neutral Dots.
