Lovely Arrangements Cut & Flip Card

The colors in the Lovely Blossoms DSP are just stunning, and so gorgeous when paired with its' coordinating stamp set, Lovely Arrangements, all in the Online Store! Found this card and knew I had to give it a try! It utilizes so much of the bundle, in such a creative way!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 2 3/8" x 4 1/4" (sponged layer), 2 1/2" x 4" inside layer, scraps (stamped images
Secret Sea (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 1/2" x 4"
Petal Pink: 2 1/2" x 4", scraps
Petal Pink 2-Tone cardstock: 2" x 2 1/2" (half of the die cut)
Lovely Blossoms (N) (OE): 3 3/4" x 5" (Floral print)

To Make This Card:

Fold White card base in half, and then remove 2 3/4" from the front, to be flipped and used later on the front of the card.
On the "inside", first add the Secret Sea layer, and then the DSP piece.
Next, take the Petal Pink layer and run it through the "lace" die. Note: This will only cut 3" of that piece, so you will need to run it through a 2nd time, lining up one of the cuts. Then adhere to front flap.
Now, stamp the images in Secret Sea onto White. You'll need 1 full flower, 1 1/2 flower, and 2 sets of leaves. Then die cut with corresponding dies.
I also put Wink of Stella on the 2 flowers. Note: Some of the ink will drag with the Wink of Stella, but that's ok! I like the effect!
You'll also need to die cut 1- each of the die cut leaves in Petal Pink.
And, lastly, you'll need to cut the "circles" die from the 2-tone cardstock, dark side up! I cut a full piece, and then cut it in half, which will, then, make 2 cards!
So, let's "build" the focal point piece.
Take the piece you cut from the front, and add the Secret Sea layer.
Before you add the next, White piece, you'll want to burnish a little Petal Pink ink with a Blending Brush. Then, add it to the Secret Sea layer.
Next, add the "circles" to the left side.
Now, for the "arrangement". I first added the 2-leaf Petal Pink die cut with Multipurpose Glue. I spread the leaves out just a little bit.
Then, I added 1 set of leaves to the "top" (see picture), then overlapping that, the 1/2 flower, and then the last set of leaves to the "bottom".
Finish the "arrangement" with the full flower, popped up, and the last Petal Pink die cut leaf tucked underneath. And your "focal" point is done.
Attach to the front flap of card base.
If desired, stamp sentiment in Secret Sea ink and cut out with die from the Bundle. (my Senior gals decided NOT to add this!
Adhere the inside White piece to inside, behind "focal point".
Finish front with Secret Sea Moody Palette Dots.

Sweet Bugs Clean & Simple Card

I spotted this idea by Sharon at "As the Ink Dries", and thought it would be perfect for class, including my Senior stampers. These images are stamped and then colored. I actually like the colored Lily of the Valley! Anyway, my senior gals loved it!

Measurements:

Poppy Parade: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 2 1/2" x 4" (arch), 3/4" x 3 7/8", scraps (images)
Made with Love DSP (N): 3 1/4" x 3 7/8" (Poppy "dashes"), 2" x 3 7/8", 5/8" x 4" strip (sm hearts on Strawberry Slush)

To Make This Card:

Adhere one large, White layer to front of Poppy Parade card base.
Next, add "dash" Poppy Parade DSP to the top, and the small heart DSP to the bottom. The edges will overlap.
Then cover the "seam" with the 3/4" strip of Basic White.
Now, stamp the images in Memento Black ink and die cut with corresponding dies. You'll need one "Reading Ladybug", one "Lily of the Valley", and 3 flowers/grass.
Color in the images with Poppy Parade, Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green.
Die cut an arch in White.
To create the focal point.. I placed one "flower" near the bottom left corner of arch. Use the smaller Dimensionals. Next, I added the "Ladybug", and then I added another "flower to the right (not too low), and the last "flower in between - all on Dimentionals. Lastly, you'll add the "Lily of the Valley" - tucked behind right flower.
If enough room, stamp the words from Sweet Jar, otherwise, find another sentiment that will fit!
Next, place the completed "arch" onto the card front with Dimensionals.
Finish with White twine bow, and silver Festive dots.

Greenery Lane Curvy Concertina Card

Whenever possible, I try to accommodate my hostess with their project/stamp requests when they are hostess. My hostess for this month requested the Greenery Lane Bundle - with the Washi Tape. Eventually, she found this idea by Sue Campfield, that she wanted to try! I told her I'd give it a shot. (no written directions, only a video - but I like the challenge!) So, here is what I came up with. Look's like Sue's...so I'm good with it. Not difficult to create, and I love the results. This is her original design! And, as always, she has several samples. Go check them out!

Measurements:

White Willow: 5 1/2" x 10 1/4" (base)
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 1 1/2" x 4 3/4" (outside front); 2 pcs @ 7/8" x 4 3/4" (front); 2 pcs @ 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" (back); 2 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 5 1/4" (back layer), scraps
Vellum: 3" x 4"
Garden Green: 2 pcs @ 2" x 5 3/8" (back layer)
Greenery Lane Washi Tape: 4 die cuts (adhered to White)

To Make This Card:

Score the base @ 2 1/8" - 3 5/8" - 5 1/8" - 6 5/8" - 8 1/8". Accordion fold (like a Concertina) - valley - mtn - valley - mtn - valley. Crease well.
Take the Vellum piece and score each 4" end at 1/2" - Note: be careful not to score too hard. Lightly curve with Bone Folder, crease the 1/2" back.
Now, we'll adhere this curvy piece to the card. Place Tear n Tape on the 1/2 strips neat the fold.
Take the card base and lay it flat. Remove the backing on the Tear n Tape of the curvy piece, center on the center panels of the card base and adhere. (Run your Bone Folder inside the piece to adhere the 1/2" pieces with the Tear n Tape!
Pick it up and see how nice this piece curves!
Let's work on the back, first. (easier to keep track of all those White strips).
Take the 2 Garden Green strips and 2 larger White strips (1 7/8" x 5 1/4"). Stamp the larger "sprig" in Garden Green ink, catching just the outside edge of each strip - on opposite sides. Set aside for now.
Now, take all the other White strips and emboss with the gorgeous, new Stone & Vine Embossing Folder from the mini catalog.
Next, match which pieces go where. The 4 pieces on the front have a larger, 3/8" border than the back, center 2 do.
Adhere to card. You can also adhere the outside back pieces with the Garden Green cardstock layer.
Now, die cut 2 "labels" from the Textured Notes Dies. Stampe the smallest one in Garden Green ink.
Adhere the smaller "label" to the other label with Dimensionals.
Next, adhere Greenery Lane Washi Tape to piece of White. Die cut leafy pieces. Pick 4 and adhere to "labels" between layers. (You might need to trim a bit)
To adhere these to the Curvy Vellum piece, I added 2 Dimensionals to the curve, and add labels.
Finish with White Moody Palette Glossy Dots.

Fragrant Layers "Framed" card

The inspiration for this sample came from Patty Bennett. She has quite an extensive video on using this bundle! I learned a lot from her, will use some at a later date! For this one, I wanted to use the stamps with the "frame" die. I used her layering ideas, color and DSP idea, but *I* designed the "frame". (Which I love!) There are SO MANY possibilities for colors and layering, take some time to "play"!

Measurements:

Real Red: 1/2 sheet
Made with Love DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (Red and Strawberry Dots)
Basic White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" (layer), 2 7/8" x 3 7/8" (stamped image), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Strawberry Slush: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4" (layer)
Smoky Slate: 2 7/8" x 3 7/8" ("main frame")
Basic Gray: 2 7/8" x 3 7/8" ("shadow frame")

To Make This Card:

Stamp the "detailed" floral image in Memento Black ink onto smallest White piece.
Stamp the solid "flowers" in Pretty in Pink ink, the centers in Melon Mambo ink, and the Leaves in Lemon Lime Twist. Note: The leaves are all separate. Line all 3 up to stamped floral images and place them on ONE BLOCK, and stamp all at once. Thank you, Patty!
If desired, add more color/shading to the flowers in Melon Mambo ink with a sponge dauber. I added a little more green to the leaves with a Q-Tip. I also painted Wink of Stella onto the flowers. Set aside.
Now, for all the layers. Mount DSP and White layer to folded Real Red card.
Die cut Strawberry Slush piece with the 2nd to the largest Perennial Postage Die. Add to card front.
Die cut the "floral frame" from both the Smoky Slate and Basic Gray layers.
Adhere the Smoky Slate layer first to the stamped image. I used Multipurpose Glue. You may also have to twist and turn the White piece to fit the die cut image. That's ok. Just trim away whatever White is showing.
As a final touch, trim the Basic Gray piece close to the edge. I used the guides on our trimmer along with a nice, sharp blade!
Add this on top of the Smoky Slate layer using Multipurpose Glue! This also creates some nice, raised detail!
Adhere this to front of card.
Finish front with Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems and a double bow of Strawberry Slush Twine.
