Split Front Lily of the Valley

I was looking for inspiration for the use of our White, Luxe resist paper that coordinates with the Valley in Bloom Suite. I found this layout that used the Valleys in Bloom DSP, and just switched it out for the gorgeous resist paper! I just LOVE it! This is the other card we will be doing in Club next weekend!

Measurements:

Granny Apple Green: 4 1/4" x 8" (base), 1 3/4" x 4 1/4" (bottom), scraps (die cut flowers)
Coastal Cabana: 2 1/4" x 4" (top), 1 1/2" x 4" (bottom), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
Pretty Peacock: 2" x 3 1/2"
Lemon Lime Twist: 1 1/2" x 3 1/4"
Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5" (inside), scraps
Luxe White Specialty Paper (N): 3 3/4" x 4" (we will cut)
Window Sheet: 1/4 sheet

To Make This Card:

Score Granny Apple Green card base @ 5 1/2". Crease well.
Adhere Window sheet to the wrong side of top flap, with Tear n Tape, even with the crease.
Close the top flap into place and adhere the bottom piece, so that it is even with the bottom of the Window sheet and the bottom of the card.
Next add the 2 coordinating Coastal Cabana pieces. Set this aside for now.
Now, take the Luxe White resist piece. I chose 3 ink colors for the background - Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana, and Pretty Peacock. Take a Blending Brush and start with the lightest color, then the medium color, and then add a little bit of the darker color. If you prefer a darker color, just add more ink! Before it completely dries, buff with a tissue.
Lay piece onto card front, and cut to fit with a 1/8" edge.
Then, continue the pattern with the bottom piece. Fit, trim, and adhere. You will have a little left over!
Now, for the focal point.
Die cut 2 leaves from the Pretty Peacock piece. You'll also need one decorative piece from Lemon Lime Twist, 2 Lily of the Valley "stems", and 14 White die cut "flowers".
Place the decorative piece onto the card, as shown.
Place a little Multipurpose Glue on the flowers and add the While flowers. Then, add Wink of Stella to each flower.
Add the 2 "sprigs" to the card, as shown. Also, add the Pretty Peacock leaves. I pulled a few of the flowers on top of the leaves.
Now, for the inside. Adhere the inside White piece to the Coastal Cabana piece. Lay inside, and lightly pencil where the Peacock leave ends and the top and bottom as well.
Then, remove from inside and stamp desired sentiment in Pretty Peacock ink.
At the same time, add "Happy Birthday" above.
Stamp small Lily sprig in Granny Apple Green ink. Color with Light Granny Apple Green Blend.
Adhere piece to inside of card.
Finish with scattered, new Shimmering Dots. Be sure to put several on the Window sheet!

Springtime Scenes Floating Cut Out Card

I found this fun card using the new Springtime Scenes Bundle. It's an oldie but goodie fun fold that I haven't done in ages! I don't think it was called a "Floating Cut Out" card, but I honestly don't remember what it was called! This version was designed by Heidi Collins, and uses the stamps from the Springtime Scenes Stamps and the DSP from the Homemade Sweetness DSP, all in the Online Store.

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3" square (stamped circle), 3/4" x 3" (mechanism), scrap
Homemade Sweetness DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (Ladybug print)
Strawberry Slush: 3 1/4" square

To Make This Card:

Adhere DSP to folded White card base with Multipurpose Glue.
Die cut largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, through all layers of front. Also cut one large circle from Strawberry Slush cardstock.
Die cut circle from Springtime Scenes circles.
Stamp "grass" in Garden Green and Granny Apple Green ink. Stamp sentiment in black ink, as shown.
Stamp "ladybug" in black ink and color with Blends. Die cut with corresponding die. Also, die cut 3 small, white flowers.
Let's assemble the circle Focal Point. First, attach White circle to Strawberry Slush layer. Add "ladybug" to "grass" with a Dimensional. Then add 3 flowers.
Now, to add the "mechanism".
Score the small piece, along the 3" side @ 3/4" - 1 1/2" - 2 1/4". Crease well with "mountain" folds
Fold this piece in half, so cut edges meet. Place Tear n Tape on the end sections of the "top" and the "bottom". Center the "mechanism" inside the card, with the cut edges even with the crease in the card.
Lastly, close card. Place adhesive onto the exposed mechanism and insert circle through opening and attach to "mechanism.
Finish with small Strawberry Slush Flat Pearls.

Filled with Sweetness Card with a Twist

Here's another way to use the "jam jar" from the Filled with Sweetness Dies. I looks like a "normal" card, but I added a "twist". I had this idea, and then Karen Titus elaborated on it and Rachel Traudt shared her color challenge. (Interesting. Deviates from the "traditional" colors suggested by the DSP! I put it all together and...Voila! Give this layout a try with your own favorite colors!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 2 5/8" x 3 3/8"
Lovely & Beautiful DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (Fresh Freesia print)
Lemon Lolly: 4" x 4 1/4", scraps
Pool Party: 2 1/8" x 2 3/4"
Daffodil Delight: 2 3/4" x 3"
Fresh Freesia: scrap
Silver Foil: 1" x 3 1/4"

To Make This Card:

Add DSP to folded White card base.
Stamp "jar" in Daffodil Delight ink onto piece of Lemon Lolly cardstock. Die cut with coordinating die, including "slit" in the lid.
Place Foam Adhesive Strips along the outside edges of "jar". Set aside.
Stamp "label" with Pool Party ink onto piece of Pool Party cardstock. Add small die cut heart from Fresh Freesia. (Die is with the bundle dies.)
Die cut the 2 parts of the "citrus slice" of the Made With Sweetness Dies in Lemon Lolly.
Color the solid piece with Lemon Lolly Blend, and then adhere together.
Now, for the insert/message piece.
Die cut "spoon" from Silver Foil. The die is with the Filled with Sweetness Dies.
If desired, stamp "flourish" in Fresh Freesia ink onto White insert.
Before adhering the insert all together, check to make sure that it fits inside the jar. You might need to trim it a little bit to fit within the Adhesive Strips.
Check the desired angle of the spoon, then sandwich/adhere "spoon" between the 2 layers of the insert. Check again.
Now, you can add the "jar" to the front of card.
Then, you can finish the front of the jar, by adding Pool Party "label" with Dimensionals, as well as the "lemon slice".
Finish with scattered Iridescent Rhinestones

Pastel Shimmer Scalloped Wishes

This card that uses the Pastel Shimmer Cardstock from the Online Store (along with a little Vellum) is just stunning in person! And, the Scalloped Wishes dies make it so simple to layer all the pieces for a gorgeous, quick card!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5 1/4" (embossed layer), scrap (sentiment)
Vellum: 2 3/4" x 3 1/4"
Pastel Shimmer (OE): 3 1/8" x 3 5/8", scraps (Pool Party); scraps (Lemon Lolly & Bubble Bath)

To Make This Card:

Run White layer through Beautiful Pattern Embossing Folder from the Online Store, and then attach to folded White card base.
Next, die cut the larger "detailed" scallop die from Vellum.
Then, die cut the scalloped layer that goes underneath it in Pool Party Shimmer.
Now, take scraps of the Pastel Shimmer and die cut "stems" in Pool Party, and "flowers" from Lemon Lolly and Bubble Bath.
Arrange largest "stem", and 3 flowers, as shown, onto the Vellum layer. Now, you can flip this layer over, put your adhesive over the areas you can see with your focal point - to hide the adhesive, and then attach it to the Pool Party layer. Neat huh!
Then, add this layer to the front of your card with Dimensionals!
I did add a sentiment, stamped in Pool Party in, and embellished with a small "stem" and "flower".
The flower "centers" are Rainbow Dots.
I finished with a bow of sheer, White ribbon.

Monochromatic Scalloped Wishes

I just LOVE the stamps and dies in the Scalloped Wishes Bundle! While visiting my aunt, I had more time to play with the sets I had not had time, yet, to play with, and this was one of them! I found this awesome layered/die cut monochromatic card. I used Pecan Pie and Very Vanilla for this version, that I found somewhere. So classy, a nice masculine card, and fast and simple to make! Give it a try!

Measurements:

Very Vanilla: 1/2 sheet, 3 3/8" x 4" (bottom layer), 3" x 3 5/8" (next layer), 2 3/4" x 3 3/4" (top layer),strip
Pecan Pie: 3 3/4" x 4 5/8" (bottom layer)
Delicate Dreams DSP (N)(OE): 4" x 5 1/4" (Pecan Pie "linen")

To Make This Card:

Adhere DSP to folded Very Vanilla card base.
Die cut largest, Pecan Pie layer from Beautifully Celebrated Dies, as well as the next layer from Very Vanilla.
Stamp the largest Scalloped image in Pecan Pie ink onto next layer of Very Vanilla, and die cut with corresponding die.
Lastly, die cut the largest detailed Scalloped Die from the Scalloped Wishes Dies.
Before assembling, Stamp the "cattails" and "dragonflies", as shown onto Oval Insert from the last Scalloped Die in Pecan Pie ink. Add a little Wink of Stella to the "dragonfly wings".
Now, to put it all together!
First, layer the largest 2, Beautifully Celebrated die cuts onto the card front, a ways to the right.
Then, I adhered the stamped image and detailed die cut together, flush with each other. The 2 fit together so neatly! I then added this to the card front with Dimensionals.
And, lastly, I added the stamped center oval with Dimensionals.
Finish the card with a stamped sentiment in Pecan Pie ink. I just fussy cut a rectangle around it! And, 3 Natural Matte dots.
