True Blue Florals Curvy Concertina Card

I guess I'm still on a "Blue" kick. Here is another Curvy Concertina card that uses the POTM - True Blue Florals DSP, paired with the gorgeous Delicate Framing Dies (and stamps). This one was also designed by Sue Campfield. I love the scrolly dies, but also the fact that you can see the edges of the DSP much better than the elegant, White tone on tone version.

Measurements:

White Willow: 5 1/2" x 10 1/4" (base)
Basic White: 2 pcs @1 7/8" x 5 1/4" (back), 2 1/2" x 4" (lg label), 1 3/8" x 3" (sm label)
Night of Navy: 2 pcs @ 2" x 5 3/8" (back); 1 3/8" x 5 3/8" (inside back) scraps
Adhesive Sheet" scraps
True Blue Florals (POTM): 2 pcs @ 1 1/2" x 4 3/4" (outside front - blue stripe); 2 pcs @ 7/8" x 4 3/4" (front - lt blue print); 3" x 4" (curvy pc - navy print); 2 pcs @ 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" (back - white print)

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 Navy Print "curvy" 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.
Take the 2 Night of Navy strips and 2 larger White strips (1 7/8" x 5 1/4"). Adhere together. Die cut 2, straight detail frames in Night of Navy cardstock. Place an adhesive sheet on the back to make it easier to adhere. Cut each piece in half and place into corners, as shown. Then, adhere to the outside, back panels.
Next, take the smaller Navy layers and adhere the White print to them, and then to the inside, center panels. Now, the back is done!
Now, for the front, match the coordinating DSP pieces to the front of the card base, as shown.
For the "labels", use the newly retired Textured Notes Dies, and cut the larger "label" in White. Then, stamp a sentiment from the coordinating stamp set, in Night of Navy and cut out with another Textured Notes Die. Layer together with Dimensionals.
Finish by adding "small, straight pieces" to largest label, as well as scattered Moody Palette Glossy Dots.
Lastly, attach to the "curvy" piece with Dimensionals.

Blue Quilt Square Card

I found this gorgeous blue card with an interesting quilt-like design on a reel by "The Pampered Stamper". It took me a while to find her dimensions, again, but it was worth the effort! Since then, several other people have also designed these "square quilt cards". Hers uses a Memories and More card base, which makes the card a little bigger, as well as the squares. I have since found a more "traditional" version, which I will try sometime soon! Anyway, this one uses Product of the Month (POTM) offerings - which BTW, are still available with qualifying purchase. It uses the gorgeous True Blue Florals from December, and the Fabulous Sayings from January! For the embossed background, the new Stone and Vine in the Online Store! So, enjoy, and I WILL be trying this one, with one of our awesome DSP's soon!

Measurements:

Basic White Assorted Memories and More Cards & Envelopes
Basic White: 4"x 6" (embossed), 1 1/8" x 4" (sentiment), scraps
Night of Navy: 3 1/2" square, 1 1/4" x 4" (layer), scrap
Balmy Blue: 2 3/4" square
True Blue Florals DSP (POTM): 2 pcs @ 3 1/2" square

To Make This Card:

Run White layer through new, Stone & Vine Embossing Folder. Adhere to pre-cut and folded Memories & More Card Base.
Lightly mark the center of this square(1 3/4") .
Fold the 2 DSP squares in half, diagonally. Then, adhere to Navy Square with Multipurpose Glue, centering the creases and having them go "vertically".
Next, die cut a 2 1/4" square in Balmy Blue, from the Stylish Shapes Dies
Attach this to the center of the Navy Square, on top of the DSP.
Then, cut, and attach 1 1/2" White square to the center of the Balmy Blue square.
Next, fold back the tips of the DSP over the Balmy Blue square, as shown.
Finish the "square", with a 1" die cut square over the points to keep them in place, and a small sentiment, in Navy ink, die cut with a small banner.
NOW, I adhere the "Navy Square" to the front of the card, so the top tips miss the top of the card base.
Cut the point that extend on the sides, or tuck them behind before attaching the embossed base (plan ahead).
Finish the rest of the card with a sentiment of your choice, and scattered Moody Palette Glossy Dots.

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.
