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.

Double Vision Lilly of the Valley

I'm loving this technique! So many possibilities. Of course, right now I'm lovin' the Valley in Bloom DSP, so I had to give it a try with that! I've been using the corners and borders a lot more than usual with this DSP! And, this is just another way to use it! This particular idea comes from Susan Campfield. It also uses her million dollar stamp set - Phrases and Frames - and the new, awesome "Impressions Mat"! Be sure to check out these frames! They are gorgeous!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" (one for inside), scrap (sentiment)
Valley in Bloom DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (corner image), 1/2" x 4" strip (inside)

To Make This Card:

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 White "mounting" piece.
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! For this version, I decided to try Foam Adhesive Strips, which are also a little taller! It was suggested to use the outside edges of your Dimensionals, which I did for my first one. I think I prefer the "lower" look.
Before you line these up and pop them into place, it was suggested to 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 Pretty Peacock card base.
For the sentiment, I used the Phrases and Frames Dies (they are gorgeous), You cut the die shape first, and then run it through, again, with the Impressions Mat. And, then lastly, stamp the sentiment in Pretty Peacock. (I also just found out, that if you feel like you need a layer, the old Oval Scallop Punch works great!)
Finish the inside with a sentiment stamped in Pretty Peacock, and a strip of DSP.
Finish the outside with a bow of White Baker's Twine, and scattered Shimmering Dots.
