Reverse Flip Book Binder Card

I just "happened upon" the cool card that used the Love Notes Mix n Match DSP. However, the interesting thing was the fold. It was a version of the Book Binder card fold, only it was folded and cut differently to LOOK like a "regular" Book Binder card! I LOVE it! I will definitely be trying this one, again!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 3" square (largest circle), scrap (sentiment)
Love Notes DSP (N): sheet with both prints, sheet with floral focal point
Garden Green: 2 3/4" square

To Make This Card:

Fold White card base in half. With fold on top, cut front @ 1 1/4" from cut edge to crease. Adhere this area to card back.
Cut green piece of DSP to 4" square, and adhere to flap.
Cut pink print of DSP to 1" x 4". Adhere to glued "binding".
Now, die cut circle in White.
Punch Garden Green with 2 3/8" Circle Punch.
Punch Floral Focal point with 2 1/4" Circle Punch. Layer all together & add to front of card with Dimensionals.
Finish front with sentiment stamped in Garde Green & die cut with Banner from the Stylish Shapes dies. I also added a couple of pink Low Profile Dots, and wrapped Garden Green & White Chevron ribbon around "binding" and tied in a bow. I secured the center with a Mini Glue Dot.

Clean & Simple Easter Basket

So, I wanted a clean & simple card for my Senior Center gals using the Easter Basket bundle. I knew that "weaving" the basket wouldn't be a possibility, so I utilized the Woven Textures DSP for the basket instead. LOVE how it turned out! We had to have a "chocolate bunny", and I used the Pastel Shimmer papers for all the other components. They loved it!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 1/4 sheet (arch)
Easter Joy (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (green print)
Woven Textures DSP: 3" x 4" (white wicker)
Pastel Shimmer Cardstock (OE): various scraps
Summer Splash: scrap (grass)
Pecan Pie: scrap (bunny)

To Make This Card:

Adhere green DSP to folded White card. Note: This DSP has a tendency to curl so don't skimp on the adhesive!
Next, die cut arch from 1/4 sheet of White. Adhere to front of card.
Then, die cut the "basket" from DSP.
Stamp "bunny" in Early Espresso ink onto scrap of Pecan Pie. Die cut with corresponding die.
Now, die cut 3 eggs from the 3 colors of Pastel Shimmer, one scallop from Lemon Lolly, and the "bow" from Pink.
Originally, I die cut the sentiment from a die, but then discovered the Three Banner Punch worked better! So, I used that in class.
Next, assemble the "basket" with the "grass", "scallop", and "chocolate bunny". Then, adhere to "arch" on the front of card with Dimensionals, including a Mini one at the top of the "handle". (You'll hide it with the die cut "bow".)
Finish the basket, but adhering, and tucking in the 3 eggs, and adding the "bow" to the top of the "handle".
I stamped the sentiment in Black ink and then ended up punching it out.
I finished with a Pretty in Pink Flat Pearl as the "knot" on the "bow", and scattered Summer Splash Flat Pearls.
For the inside, I stamped 3 "eggs" in Basic Gray & die cut them.

Tower Flip Up Notes of Spring Card

I saw this awesome card fold by Verna Mullins using the current POTM - Notes of Spring. It is really fun and easy to do. I'll have to look for another bundle to try this with, again! This one uses that darling March POTM set with the 2-step animals, along with the Easter Joy DSP and Beautifully Celebrated Dies. It combines 2 folds, a side tower card, with a flip up side panel. The effect is really fun!

Measurements:

Pretty in Pink: 1/2 sheet, 3 3/8" x 4" (label), 2 1/2" x 5" (flip up inside)
Basic White: 2 3/4" x 10 1/2" (flip up), 3" x 3 1/2" (label), 2 1/4" x 4 3/4" (flip up inside)
Easter Joy DSP (N): 3 pcs @ 1" x 5 1/4" (blue print), 2 1/2" x 5" (green print)

To Make This Card:

Score the Pretty in Pink base @ 1/2" - 1 3/4" - 3" - 4 1/4". Crease well making Mountain folds.
To create "tower", first, fold card base in half, as in making a "regular" card. place Tear & Tape on 1/2" area at the end.
This is a great time to add the 3 - 1" pcs of DSP, now, while everything is laying flat!
Fold back one section and the 1/2" area with the Tear & Tape, with 2 of the sections on top, and adhere to the inside, of the card. Open it up, and you should have a "tower"! Set this aside for the moment.
Fold the "Flip Up" in half. Adhere the green DSP to the front/top, and adhere the Pretty in Pink layer to the inside.
Next, die cut one "label" from Pretty in Pink cardstock, and the next smallest size in White.
Now, stamp the sentiment in Crumb Cake ink near the top of the White "label".
Stamp the outline of the "bunny" in Early Espresso, and the "bunny" in Crumb Cake.
Mask the bunny, and add "grass" on either side in Summer Splash.
Now, you can add the White label to the Pink label.
Add the label to the tower. Make sure you only add the adhesive to one section of the tower.
Now for the Flip Up. Stamp the outline of the "goose" in Crumb Cake, and the "goose" in Stamped off Peach Pie.
Now you can adhere this layer to the inside.
Finish Flip Up by tying a piece of White ribbon around it, with a couple Pretty in Pink Flat Pearls inside.
Finish the outside with Summer Splash Flat Pearls.

Cutest Crew Birdie Card

I was looking for a clean & simple card using the Cutest Crew set for my Senior Center class. I found this layout and made it my own! So, this is a "Becky Original". It uses the Perennial Lavender DSP paired with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and rounded rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies. I love the effect! And, then some quick coloring of the birds in the stamp. And, Voila, you have a multi occasion card!

Measurements:

Highland Heather: 1/2 sheet, 2 1/4" x 3" (label)
Perennial Lavender DSP: 2" x 5 1/4", 1/2" x 5 1/4" strip (inside)
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" (punch)

To Make This Card:

Adhere White pieces to the inside and outside of Highland Heather card base.
Next, add the DSP to the front, and the strip to the inside.
Punch White "label" with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch.
Stamp the sentiment in Black ink near the bottom, and the 3 "birdies" above it, as shown.
Next, color "birdies" with 3 different purples from the DSP (there are many choices). I also colored the "beaks" Daffodil Delight and the "grass" in Pretty Peacock. I also added a little Wink of Stella to the "birdies".
Mount onto rounded rectangle from the Nested Essentials Dies.
Then, adhere this to the card front with Dimensionals.
Finish with scattered Purple Shimmer Gems and Highland Heather bow.
