Lily of the Valley Pillar Card

Here is another one of Liz's designs. This is another one that *I* have never done! She created it in 2 sizes. The larger one fits in a large envelope, the one I did fits into a regular A2 envelope! She shared the instructions for both...in Imperial Dimensions..which is so nice! If you ever need a card that can stand on a desk, night stand, or table, this a perfect one to try!

Measurements:

Coastal Cabana: 5 1/4" x 7 1/2"
Garden Green: 2 pcs @ 1 1/2" x 5", 6 pcs @ 1 1/2" square
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 1 1/4" square, 1 1/4" x 4 3/4"
Lily of the Valley (N): 4 pcs @ 1 1/4" square, 1 1/4" x 4 3/4" (Sm Lily of the Valley print)

To Make this Card:

Score the Coastal Cabana base along the long side at 1 3/4"-3 1/2"-5 1/4"-7". Score along the short side @ 1 3/4" - 3 1/2".
Place base in the trimmer with the short side along the measurements, with the 1/2" "extension" on the bottom. You are going to make 2 "slits", one on each side at 1 3/4", starting at the first score line, cutting through the 2nd, and stopping at the 3rd.
Lightly crease on all score lines making mountain folds.
Place Tear & Tape along 1/2" "extension" and adhere "box" together to create a square.
The finished card/box has the center section pushed in. Give that a try so you can see how it will look when finished!
Now, lay the card flat on your table, with the slit side up!
Place all 6 Garden Green squares onto the 6 sections of the "front".
Next, adhere the 4 DSP squares on the 2 top and 2 bottom sections.
Stamp sentiment in Garden Green ink onto one White square. Adhere this to one side. Then adhere the other White square to the other.
Flip the card over so we can complete the back.
Adhere the 2 Garden Green Strips, over the score lines to add stability.
Then, add the DSP strip to one side.
Stamp and color the small Lily of the Valley image to the bottom of the White strip. Then, adhere to the other Garden Green strip.
To finish the front, stamp the "detail" butterflies from the All Aflutter stamp set in Garden Green ink, on a scrap of White. Stamp color in stamped off Coastal Cabana ink. It's easiest to add Wink of Stella, now, if desired. Punch out with coordinating Punch.
Then, I used the 2 smaller butterflies on the last, inside White layer.
Finish with scattered Coastal Cabana Shimmering Dots in the inside.

Layered Peaceful Pine Card

I saw this clean & simple card by Dawn Griffith and fell in love. She actually make one in each of our new InColors which were just gorgeous! It IS "Clean & Simple" but there are multiple layers that are easily cut. Of course, I added my own touch, adding an embossed layer of Pearlized Paper! The dies are from the Silly Old Bear Suite and are just gorgeous! One of the reasons I loved this card idea. You really DO need to give this one a try! And, it's stunning in person! I think we may do this in class!!

Measurements:

Peaceful Pine (N): 1/2 sheet, 1 3/4" x 3 7/8", 2" x 3" (label)
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4", 1 7/8" x 3 7/8", 1 3/4" x 2 3/8" (sm label), 2 3/8" x 3 3/8" (lg label), 3" x 3 1/4" (punched butterflies)
2026-2028 Pearlized DSP (N): 1 3/4" x 3 3/4" (Peaceful Pine)
2026-2028 Designer Series Paper Pack DSP (N): 2 1/4" x 3 3/4" (Peaceful Pine Dots)

To Make this Card:

Adhere White layer to folded Peaceful Pine card base.
Next, attach dot DSP to top and then solid cardstock piece.
Run Pearlized DSP through Lazy Daisy EF, and then adhere to corresponding White layer and attach to front of card with Dimensionals.
Stamp sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink onto smaller piece of White. Die cut with Sweet Words & Labels die with the little hearts.
Then, die cut a "medium" die from Peaceful Pine cardstock, and the largest die from White. Check the image for which labels I used. There are 18 to choose from!!!
Layer the 3 labels together. I used Dimensionals on the one with the sentiment.
Add to card front at shown.
Now, stamp detailed "butterflies" from the All Aflutter stamp set in Peaceful Pine ink onto piece of White. Punch out with corresponding punch. I added a little Wink of Stella to the "butterflies".
Shape the "butterflies" a little and add to card with Mini Dimensionals.
Finish with InColor Butterflies and InColor dots.

Layered Nested Essentials Card

I've been continuing to work through the card folds from Liz Shannon of the UK! This one is quick and unique and uses the awesome Nested Essential Dies along with the beautiful Valley in Bloom DSP and punched butterflies from the All Aflutter Bundle. Sadly, it fits in a 5 3/4" square envelope. I'll have to tweak it to fit into an A2 one!

Measurements:

Granny Apple Green: 3" x 11" (base), 5" x 6" (largest dies); 4" x 4 1/4" (smallest dies)
Basic White: 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" (inside); 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" (outside)
Valley in Bloom DSP (N): 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" (beige plaid - front); 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" (outside floral); 1 1/2" x 3 3/4" (inside floral); 3" x 3 1/4" (beige plaid - butterflies)

To Make this Card:

Adhere the Plaid DSP to the folded Granny Apple Green card base.
Next, die cut 2 of the largest and 2 of the 3rd from the largest die shapes from Granny Apple Green.
Die cut one floral layer and one White layer from the 2nd of the largest die.
Die cut one floral layer and one White layer from the smallest dies.
Adhere one large Granny Apple Green cardstock piece and one smaller Granny Apple Green piece to the inside of card, matching the points to the top cut edge and gluing the bottom half to the inside of the card. (See above.) It's up to you how far apart or how close these 2 pieces are.
Adhere the larger White piece to the larger die cut, and the smaller floral piece to the smaller die cut.
Next, take the remaining dies and add them to the front, over the back dies, using them for the layout.
Adhere the larger floral piece to the larger die cut, and the smaller White piece to the smaller die cut.
Stamp the desired sentiment in Garden Green ink onto the smaller, White, front piece.
Lastly, stamp the detailed butterflies from the All Aflutter stamp set in Gray Granite ink onto a scrap of "plaid" DSP. Punch out with coordinating punch.
Shape and adhere to front of card with Mini Dimensionals.
Finish with embellishments of your choice.

Unique Fold using Delicate Dreams DSP

I found this unique fold on a reel from the Totally Traced website. It's really interesting and easy to do (once I figured out the measurements)! And, of course, the DSP is just stunning! (And, not available, again!) I created this card for my aunt for her birthday. Happy Birthday, Marcia!

Measurements:

Secret Sea: 1/4 sheet, 3 3/8" x 9 1/4", scrap
Delicate Dreams DSP (OE): 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" (bronze arches), 4 3/8" x 5 1/4" (bronze sprigs); 3 1/4" x 4 3/8" (floral - top flap)
Basic White: 3" x 4 1/8"

To Make This Card:

Adhere DSP to Secret Sea 1/4 sheet base.
Next, take the other Secret Sea piece, and fold in half. Crease well. Adhere the floral DSP to the top.
Now, take the inside DSP piece and score at 1 5/8". Crease well. Then take the other side and fold so that cut edges meet, creating a "gate fold".
Adhere to the inside of the folded Secret Sea layer.
Next, take the White layer and stamp the "sprig" in the lower left corner in Crumb Cake. I also stamped the sentiment in Secret Sea ink.
Now, adhere to folded DSP.
Take this completed Secret Sea piece and adhere to top of "post card" base.
Finish with small, stamped sentiment stamped in Secret Sea, and punched with the Triple Banner punch. Layer this to a strip of Secret Sea cardstock, and add to front of card.
Finish with Moody Palette Dots on the front and inside.
