Pretty Poinsettia Pop Out Slider Card

I made this sample in Stamp Club, Saturday, so I had another sample of this awesome fold, and gorgeous bundle! The inspiration comes from Karina Stamps. The poinsettia details and card color bases are hers, how I decorated is my creation! This is the first time I've used Barely Blush, it is really so soft and beautiful.

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet (front), 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" (inside), 3 1/4" x 5 1/2" (back), 2 pcs @ 2" x 3", 2 pcs @ 1 1/2" x 2 1/2". 1/4 sheet (poinsettia)
Gingham Gallery DSP (N)(OE): 4" x 5 1/4", 3 1/2" x 5 1/4" (Barely Blush)
Barely Blush 2-Tone cardstock: 2 1/2" x 5 1/4", 2 pcs @ 1 3/4" x 2 3/4", scraps
Pearlized Specialty Paper (N): 3 1/2" square (Barely Blush)
Soft Sea Foam: 1/4 sheet
White Willow cardstock: 3/4" x 12"

To Make this Card:

Score the "front" piece along the 11" side @ 4 1/4" - 5 1/2". Rotate to the shorter side and make the following cuts/slits, to the 5 1/2" score line: 1/2" - 2 1/2" - 3" - 5".
Next, remove the 1/2" pieces from top, bottom and center, leaving 2 extensions.
Now, take the inside piece and score along the 6 1/2" side @ 2 3/4". Crease well.
Adhere the smaller Gingham DSP piece to the left side, and the solid Barely Blush piece to the smaller, right side.
Next, adhere the left cut edge of the inside piece, to the inside cut edge of the front. I used Multipurpose Glue and only placed glue for about 1" wide. You want the area near the creases free.
Now, we need to create the "guide" for the moving "extensions".
Wrap the 12" piece around the inside, back of card, for fit. Adhere into a "belly band".
Remove this from its' current position, and slip it over the "extensions of the outside piece, and adhere to to just the back of the inside piece. Clear as mud, right. It DOES work!
The final step is to adhere this strip to the outside piece, placing Multipurpose Glue just on the 3/4" 2-tone strip. Lining up the cut edges.
As you flip over your base, you'll see the whole mechanism exposed. That's where to add the last piece of base color. Again, just add Multipurpose Glue to just the exposed 3/4" strip.
Try the mechanism, to see that it "works"! The more you move it, the easier it will move.
Let's finish decorating the front!
For this version, I die cut the 4 sections of the Poinsettia from White. This is an Impressions Die, so leave the pieces in the die, and run them through the Stampin' Cut & Die Machine with the Impressions Plate (Matt), to create a deeper detail!
Repeat for the "leaves" in Soft Sea Foam.
Before assembling the petals, add Barely Blush Shimmer Brush to the top, detail of the petals. Add Clear Wink of Stella to the "leaves".
Next,,die cut a circle from Pearlized Specialty Paper and the Spotlight on Nature Dies.
Adhere circle to the front of card.
Assemble the flower, adding a die cut center, and place on "leaves", which I cut in half.
I stamped the sentiment directly onto the front with Basic Gray ink, and added 2026 InColor Dots.
I finished the inside "extensions" with stamped "poinsettias" and sentiment on the top piece, leaving the bottom free. I added a few 2026 InColor Dots.

Butterfly Flight meets Fern & Flora

You don't have to use the masks to make neat foiled butterflies! This quick card by Pamela Blackwell, pairs the Hot Foiled Butterflies from the Butterfly Flight bundle with the DSP and dies from the Fern & Flora Bundle. Pretty Classy! I love how it turned out!

Measurements:

Secret Sea: 1/2 sheet
Berry Burst: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8", 1/4 sheet (foiled butterflies), scrap
Moonlit Flora (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), scraps
Soft Sea Foam: 3" x 4" (ferns)

To Make this Card:

Layer Berry Burst and DSP onto folded Secret Sea card base.
Heat Foil the Butterfly Flight die in Gold Foil onto Berry Burst piece. Then, die cut with corresponding die. Set these aside.
Next, die cut 1 ea of the 2 "ferns" in the Fern & Flora dies in Soft Sea Foam
Also die cut the small flowers (they look like bows or bugs) in White, and the centers in Berry Burst (you'll need 2 of these).
To assemble the "flowers" you'll criss-cross the pieces, after first pairing them up. Add center of your choice. I did this with Multipurpose Glue.
Stamp and heat emboss "label" in Gold. Die cut with corresponding die.
Add sentiment in Berry Burst ink.
Shape the "butterflies" with bone folder.
Adhere the largest to the upper left of card front, as shown.
Then, determine where label will go, and adhere "ferns" so they will end up below and above the label, which is popped up with Dimensionals.
Next, add the 2 smaller "butterflies" to the front. I used Dimensionals, but Tear n Tape works well, too.
Finish front with small "flowers" and Berry Burst Garden Epoxy Dies.
Finish the inside with White insert, and one of the left over "butterflies" and Garden Dots.

Framed Violets Basic Card

This idea comes from Amy Koenders. She always makes such good use of all products in a Suite. This one is no exception! In addition to the Framed Violets coordinating stamps, dies, and DSP, she has also used the Shimmering Stripes Specialty paper and Adhesive-Baked Blooms, as well as the Fern Embossing Folder and Fern & Flora Dies! Makes for a neat card!

Fresh Freesia: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/4" x 4 3/8"
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 1/4 sheet (stamped images), scraps
Peaceful Pine (N): scraps
Violet Dreams (N) (OE): 1 1/2" x 5 1/4" (Peaceful Pine print)

Die cut oval insert from new, Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper. Adhere to center of scalloped piece.
Stamp 2 "violet sprigs" on piece of White in Peaceful Pine ink. Color with Blends and die cut with corresponding die. I also added Wink of Stella to the flowers.
Die cut 2, smaller Ferns from the Fern & Flora Dies. Cut the 3 "leaves" from the Framed Violet Dies, all from Peaceful Pine cardstock.
Add the 2 "ferns" to the oval, first.
Then adhere the 2 "violet sprigs" as shown.
And, lastly, add the 3 die cut "leaves".
