Stamped Pansy Book Fold

I saw this suite of Pansy cards using my favorite colors - Bermuda Bay & Fresh Freesia! These are just gorgeous!! This time, I wanted to show how awesome it is to STAMP the Pansies!!  Then, add a Fun Fold, a touch of DSP, and a cute bee, and what could be better!!


Measurements:  

  • Bermuda Bay: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3 3/8" square, 2 1/4" x 2 1/2"
  • Basic White: scraps 4", 3 1/8" square
  • Pool Party: 4" square
  • Ornate Frames
  • Bumblebee Trinkets
To Make This Card:

  • Fold Bermuda Bay card base in half.  Score at 1 1/4" from fold, front side only.  Crease the front back well. Place adhesive under this 1 1/4" and glue front and back together.
  • Attach Pattern DSP to 1" area of card. 
  • Run Pool Party piece through Tasteful Textile EF.  Attach to card.
  • Layer Pattern DSP square to Bermuda Bay square, and layer over Pool Party piece.
  • Stamp off small Pansy in Fresh Freesia onto scraps of White.  Stamp edges in Fresh Freesia, full strength.  Add "centers" in Gorgeous Grape. Stamp 2 of these.  Also stamp "bud" in the same manner.
  • Stamp off the "leaves" in Bermuda Bay.  You will need 3 - 2 of one shape and 1 of the other. See sample. Stamp "detail" onto leaf, full strength.  Stamp "stem" in full strenghth Bermuda bay. 
  • Cut all out with corresponding dies.
  • Cut small ornate frame from Bermuda Bay. Also, cut inside "frame" in White.  Adhere together. Attach to center of squares with Dimensionals.
  • Arrange die cut pieces onto "frame" as shown.  I used Dimensionals on the top Pansy.
  • Finish with Bumblebee trinket and Purple Rhinestones (Noble Peacock - or color).
  • If desired, tie a ribbon around the 1 1/4" piece using the Sheer Pool Party Ribbon!
