Today's card comes to you thanks to Carmen Miyoshi, one of my dear friends and Stampin' Up! Demonstrators. She is SO creative. She made this card using the Eden's Garden Bundle, including the Cotton paper! I love her easy twist on the basic gate fold! I need to give it a try. Directions/Supplies based on her "original" version.
Her original version in Evening Evergreen.
Her alternate, club version:
Measurements:
- Evening Evergreen: 1/2 sheet
- Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4"
- Ever Eden DSP (N): 2 pcs @ 1 7/8" x 3 1/8"
- Ever Eden Cotton Paper (N): 2 pcs @ 1 5/8" x 2 7/8"
- Gold Foil: 1 1/4" x 4" strip, scraps
- Soft Succulent: 1 1/4 " x 4 1/4"
To Make This Card
- Score card base Evening at 2 1/8". Turn and score other end at 2 1/8". Crease. The cut edges should meet in the middle.
- Turn the top corners of each "gate" back so that the top edge is flush with the fold. Look at the samples above. Note: Each cut edge will measure 2 1/8". Attach corners to front of card with Mini Glue Dots.
- Attach DSP to both front flaps. Adhere Basic White piece to inside.
- Emboss "sprigs" in Gold Embossing Powder onto Cotton paper. When cooled, crumple up the paper and smooth out, creating a Faux Silk look! Attach over DSP on front flaps.
- Cut 2 "branches" and 1 "border" from Gold Foil. Attach "branches" to flaps, and "border" to inside of card.
- Stamp sentiment in Evening Evergreen, onto piece of Soft Succulent. Die cut with coordinating "label" die.
- Attach strip of gold behind the straight edge. Attach 1/2 to left flap of card.
- Close card, and center greeting on the inside White. Stamp with Evening Evergreen ink.
- Finish with Garden Gems. They work perfectly with the detail on the "label".
