Sunset Coast Tri-Fold

"One of these cards is not like the other"!! I just LOVE this gorgeous Scenic Coast DSP! There are SO MANY possibilities that you don't have to even search for ideas, however, I did find this awesome tri-fold card created by Karina Chin! Yes, there is just one minor difference between these two samples (other than the sentiment), it's the size of the tri-fold card base! When I do a tri-fold, I usually use 2 halves of cardstock, and overlap them in the middle, which makes it quite sturdy in the center. Karin used our 12x12 Willow White cardstock, which makes the card 4" wide instead of "our" standard 4 1/4" - just minor, but more room in the envelope.

Measurements:

Basic White: 2 1/2 sheets (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") or
Willow White: 5 1/2" x 12"
Balmy Blue: scrap
Adhesive Sheet: scrap
Scenic Coast DSP (N): 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" (full-sized card), 3 7/8" x 5 3/8" (narrower card)

To Make This Card:

For Full-Sized card, adhere the two, folded 1/2 sheet pieces together, overlapping the backs so it opens flat to a long card. (For the narrower card, score base @ 4" - 8". - Really only difference)
Die cut opening of your choice on the front flap from the Sunset Coast Dies. I did mine a little above the center of the card.
Fold card into place. Open front flap, and adhere DSP to the next section, on the right.
Next, I cut the 3 "seagulls". I placed a scrap of an adhesive strip on the back of scrap of cardstock, before cutting out. Choose a color that coordinates with your chose DSP. All of them will work! I choose Balmy Blue.
Leaving card folded into place, peel adhesive back from the "seagulls" and adhere into place. I placed one on the card front, and the other 2 through the opening, and on the inside DSP.
Now, stamp your sentiment on the front. I used one from the Sunset Coast Dies and stamped it in Blueberry Bushel ink.
I also stamped the little "sailboats" in Blueberry Bushel ink, as well as the inside sentiment. Note: When you stamp on the DSP, it has an iridescent coating to it, so you will need to hold the stamp in place a little longer, so the ink soaking in.
Finish the inside, with the remaining piece of DSP - why not!?
Finish the front by adding Wink of Stella to the "seagulls" and "waves", and Last Chance Frosted Iridescent Dots

4-Panel Pop Out

I found this interesting Fun Fold, with no particular instructions! I've done this type of card before, just not recently! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out! I love the use of the decorative frames from the Scalloped Wishes Bundle! I added a touch of Glimmer from the retired Pastel Ombre Glimmer paper, and of course used the gorgeous Valley in Bloom Suite!

Measurements:

Garden Green: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3 1/2" x 11" (inside)
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" (2 frames), 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" (2 flower stems)
Pastel Ombre Glimmer (ret): 3 3/4" x 4" green - (leaves, dragonfly body); blue scraps (dragonfly wings, small dragonfly)
Valley in Bloom DSP (N): 5 1/4" x 4" (corner flowers); 2 pcs @ 5 1/4" x 4" ("sky" area of bottom border); 4 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" (small tulip print - backgrounds); 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" ("sky" background pieces with a little sprig)

To Make This Card:

Fold Garden Green card base in half. Adhere corner DSP piece to front, and 2
"sky" pieces to each side of the inside.
Score the inside, 4-panel strip in half, @ 5 1/2" and then 2 3/4" from each end. Accordion Fold and crease well.
Adhere the 4 "small tulip" print pieces to the accordion, alternating the tulips and plaid on the reverse side.
Next, die cut detailed oval "frame" from the Scalloped Wishes Dies out of the 2 White pieces.
Then, cut 2 more from the background scraps of the "sky" pieces.
Stamp the small Lily of the Valley Sprig in the 2 White Ovals.
Color the flowers with Pool Party Blends and the Leaves with Lemon Lime Twist.
Adhere to "small tulip" panels. Add a little Wink of Stella to the flowers.
Now, adhere the 2 "background" oval "frames" to the other 2, plaid, panels.
Stamp a sentiment in the last frame with Garden Green ink.
I decided to die cut a "dragonfly" from the Scalloped Wishes Dies from the Pastel Ombre Glitter Paper.
I also stamped a small dragonfly from the Scalloped Wishes Stamps in StazOn ink onto the Glitter Paper and die cut with coordinating die.
Next, fold the accordion piece into place. Adhere to the back, inside of card, having even edges showing, and making sure the card will close without the inside panel showing.
Now, to finish the front.
Die cut 2 Lily of the Valley "sprigs" from White cardstock. Color the "stems" with the Dk Granny Apple Green Blend. Add a little color to the white flowers with Pool Party.
Next, die cut 2 "leaves" from the green Pastel Ombre Glitter Paper. Assemble onto the front of card, as shown, with the floral "sprigs".
I added a small sentiment from the new Phrases & Frames stamps and Impressions dies. The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green ink. I added it to the front of the card with Dimensionals.
FInish with double White Baker's Twine bow, and scattered Shimmering Dots.

Double Vision Sunset Coast

I just love this new, Double Vision technique! It is particularly stunning with a scenic DSP, just over the top with our new Scenic Coast Specialty DSP (check out the iridescence). I'm also always on the lookout for unique dies, and the dies in the Sunset Coast Bundle are just that - unique! This sample, I went back to the lower Dimensional "edges" for the popped up pieces. I DO think I like that effect the best! You need to give this technique a try!

Measurements:

Blueberry Bushel: 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5 1/4" (mounting piece); 3 1/4" x 4"
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", scrap
Scenic Coast DSP (N): 1 - 6"x 6" sheet

To Make This Card:

Look at your "scenic" DSP piece and decide which area you might want to use, first. Note: you could die cut the "focal point" layer first, and use it to check it out. And, then trim this piece to 4" x 5 1/4".
Take this DSP piece and cut it into 8 - 1/2" strips. Make sure as you cut you keep them in order!
Begin with the farthest LEFT piece and adhere it directly to the Blueberry Bushel "mounting" piece. I would suggest using Multipurpose Glue for these pieces, too.
Then, LAY the next into place, for spacing, and adhere the next, third, piece.
Continue with "placeholder" and adhered piece until 4 pieces are on your card base.
Now, for the OTHER 4 pieces. These will be popped up! I used the outside edges of my Dimensional sheet.
Before you line these up and pop them into place, put Multipurpose Glue on top of the adhesive of the Dimensionals to help you slide them into place without them grabbing so fast! Isn't that neat!
I started from the LEFT, again, lined up the pattern, and adhered them into place!
Sit back and admire the effect!
Now, you can adhere this piece to the folded Blueberry Bushel card base.
Next, I die cut the "sailboat" die near to top of the "focal point" layer. Emboss the sentiment in White below this opening. Or, if you prefer, you can emboss first, and then die cut the image.
I added this to the front of the card.
Now, die cut the 3 "seagulls" in White. Add them wherever you think you need them.
Finish the inside with a 1/2" strip cut from the leftovers of your DSP. I also stamped a sentiment and the 2 little "sailboats" in Blueberry Bushel ink.
I didn't add any additional embellishments, the paper is just so gorgeous!

All Aflutter meets Delicate Whispers

This Delicate Dreams DSP is absolutely gorgeous! I am just about out of it!! It keeps going on back order!! I have a notification set so I know when it comes back in. I'll order it right away, it goes out that fast!

Karen Ksenzakovic designed this gorgeous card that uses the All Aflutter butterflies with the Delicate Whispers stamps! Even better, it also uses 2 new InColors - Hydrangea Hue, and the returning Crisp Cantaloupe and my favorite arches dies! We will be doing this one in class next week!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 2 pcs @ 3" x 4 1/8" (arches)
Hydrangea Hue (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (inside); 1 7/8" x 5 1/4"; 2 pcs @ 3 1/8" x 4 3/8" (arches)
Delicate Dreams DSP (OE): 3 3/4" x 5" (linen); 1 3/4" x 5" (smaller, single flower)

To Make This Card:

Fold White card base in half. Cut front off at 2 1/8" (or cut off 1/2). Toss this piece.
Adhere inside Hydrangea Hue and "linen" DSP to inside of card.
Adhere other Hydrangea piece to the DSP strip to the remaining front flap.
Next, cut 2, 4th largest arches from the Everyday Arches Dies and the Hydrangea Hue panels.
Then, cut the 2 White pieces from the 5th largest arch.
For the front White arch, stamp sentiment, first, in Hydrangea Hue ink, and then stamp the "sprig" in Crumb Cake around it and following the curve of the arch.
Color the "sprig" with Old Olive and Hydrangea Hue Blends.
Then, stamp the "detailed" butterfly from All Aflutter in Crumb Cake ink. Than, stamp the solid stamp in Crisp Canteloupe ink, after stamping some of the color off, first. Then, punch out with coordinating Butterfly Punch. At this point, I also added a little Wink of Stella.
Attach "butterflies" to "sprig" on White arch with Mini Dimensionals.
Now, you can attach this layer to one of the Hydrangea arches.
Next, you can attach half of the arch to the front flap, as shown.
For the inside White arch, ink up just the "thinking of you" after you mask off the "today", in Hydrangea Hue ink. Don't forget to remove the tape before you stamp it on the arch.
Clean the Crumb Cake ink from the detailed "butterflies" and stamp those "butterflies" around the sentiment, again, stamping off first. You want these to be a soft peach color.
Adhere the White piece to the remaining Hydrangea Hue arch, and then line it up behind the front arches, and adhere to the inside.
Finish the front with Crisp Canteloupe Flat Pearls and a coordinating butterfly embellishment.
