Friendly Foliage Faux Step Card

I've had this bundle since before Christmas, but just haven't had the chance to use it! I love unique dies, and it's a bonus when it comes with an equally unique stamp set, as this one does! I was looking for a unique idea, rather than just placing it on the center of a card, and found this one by Cindy Brumbaugh. She has made it in 2 different color combinations. I have made both, but there are so many possibilities!

Measurements:

Lost Lagoon (Strawberry Slush): 1/2 sheet, 3" x 8 1/2"
Basic White: 2 3/4" x 4", 2 3/4" x 4" (back), 2 3/4" x 4" (stamped image), scraps
Everyday Happiness DSP (ret) (Florals in Bloom): 1" x 5 1/4", 2 3/4" x 4"

To Make This Card:

Score base along 8 1/2" side @ 1 1/4" - 2 1/2" - 5 1/2". Crease well. Accordion fold.
Adhere 1" DSP strip to front of card.
Take single "sprig" and stamp in the same color, on the inside 3" of cardstock (that will be seen). I also stamped on the back of the Strawberry Slush one, so take your pick!
Next, score "step" at 4 1/4" (or just fold in half). Crease well.
Adhere DSP to front, and White layer to the back.
Attach to card base as shown with Tear n Tape.
Now stamp image in coordinating ink onto piece of White. Die cut both outside and inside images at the same time.
Adhere to "step" with Multipurpose Glue.
Also, die cut 2 "sprigs", and tuck those under "frame" adding to the image.
Stamp "sprig" and sentiment on the back piece.
If desired, stamp sentiment onto scrap of White. Die cut with Stylish Shapes Banner. And, adhere where desired.
Finish with White & Silver Bow and scattered Rhinestones.

Greenery Lane Z Fold

This idea flashed through my reels and then disappeared forever! It's a gorgeous card, and I think I did it justice from what I could remember! It uses the Timeless Plaid DSP in Calypso Coral, and the stamped images from the Greenery Lane stamp set in the current Mini Catalog. I love the use of the Everyday Arches dies for the focal point!

Measurements:

Crumb Cake: 1/2 sheet
Calypso Coral: 2 1/4" x 5 1/4"
Basic Beige: 2" x 5 1/4" (inside), 2 3/4" x 4", scrap
Timeless Plaid: 2 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 5 1/4" (Coral & Crumb Cake Plaid)

To Make This Card:

Create a "Z" fold with the Crumb Cake card base by folding the card in half, and then folding the front back on itself, creating the "Z"!
Next, add the 2 plaid DSP pieces to the front 2 panels. Continue with the Basic Beige strip, near the crease and on the "back".
Now, run the Calypso Coral piece through the new Stone & Vine 3D Embossing folder.
Adhere to the "inside". There should be a 1/8" edge and will overlap the Beige piece a bit.
Next, die cut an arch from piece of Basic Beige.
Stamp outline of "sprig" in Early Espresso ink - once on the scrap, and 3 times, as shown, on the arch. Add center color in Crumb Cake ink.
Adhere arch to front half of card.
Die cut the last "sprig" and add to card.
Finish with Wink of Stella on the "sprig" "leaves", Early Espresso Linen Thread bow, and scattered Calypso Coral Rainbow Dots.

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.
