Doily Flip Flap Card + Video

Enjoy this original card made using a "Flip, Flap" fold that Patty Bennett shared. She made one with Sara and Shelli at the home office, and I took pictures and figured it out! This card uses the soon-to-be released Eden's Garden bundle and Encircled in Beauty dies. Enjoy!!




Measurements:    

  • Soft Succulent: FULL sheet
  • Ever Eden DSP (N): 4 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" - 2 pcs with foil details, 1 pc without foil, 1 pc  ombre
  • Gold Foil: 3 7/8" square (doily), 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (detailed rectangle), 7/8" x 6" (border)
  • Basic White: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (2 scalloped contour rectangles), 2 3/4" square  (scalloped circle), 2" square (small doily), scraps (sprigs)
To Make This Card:

  • Take full sheet of cardstock and fold in half, crease well. Open up and fold in half the other way, crease well. (Or, score at 4 1/4" and turn and then 5 1/2".) Use Paper Trimmer and trim away lower left quarter.
  • Now refold, as shown.
  • Attach one "foil" dsp to front around outside edges. Cut circle from center.  Remove DSP and keep Soft Succulent circle to reinsert later.
  • Cut medium "doily" from 3 7/8" Gold Foil square. Attach around circle opening.
  • Open up card and attach non-foil DSP.  
  • Cut scallop circle using the one that is about 1/8" larger than the circle you just cut out.  Attach the Soft Succulent circle you just removed. Close front flap, and line up this removed circle behind opening. Attach to inside card.
  • Emboss sentiment in Gold Embossing Folder onto 2" square.  Then center and cut out smaller "doily" from the Encircled in Beauty Dies.
  • Now, cut 4 "sprigs" , in White, from the new Eden Dies (avail Nov 2).
  • Place the "doily" through the center, popping it up on Dimensionals. And attach the 4 "sprigs" in the corners.
  • Now, flip the other piece down. Add one DSP piece to the top, and one to the bottom flap.
  • I cut 1 gold "border", 2 "sprigs", and 1 large rectangle from the Eden Dies.  Arrange onto the card where desired.
  • I also cut the 2 smaller scalloped rectangles from the Scalloped Contour Dies. Embossing a sentiment on the smaller one.
  • Embellish with Genial Gems and/or Gilded Gems.
  • Note:  This card is realistically 4 cards in one!  Take any of them and make it into a single card!!
  • Also, I think this would make an awesome "mini" album with just a few pictures!
