I "attended" a virtual retreat this weekend, and it was AWESOME! So many ideas that I want to try, so stay tuned. So far, this is the only card I have completed, and that's only because it was the Mystery Stamping project that we did together! Boy, was that fun!! You have a set of clues that guide you through the creation of the project. The first clue is always the supplies! I used the NEW Hues of Happiness Bundle and the NEW InColor Orchid Oasis!!
Measurements:
- Orchid Oasis (N): 4" x 10 1/2"
- Starry Sky (N): 1/4 sheet
- 2022-2024 InColor DSP (N): 6" x 6" (1 sheet)
- Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
To Make This Card:
- Fold 6"x 6" DSP in half to form a triangle.
- On the "fold" side of this triangle, make a score line at 1/2".
- Score the Orchid Oasis piece at 2 5/8" from each end. Fold in to make "gate fold". Crease well.
- Place this piece on top of folded triangle, with the long edge matching the fold. Center on card.
- Now, take a pencil and make a mark on either side of the "gate fold" where the triangle extends past this piece. Remove "base" and trim with Triangle DSP scissors.
- Next, add adhesive to INSIDE of "triangle" gluing both sides together to make one piece.
- Add Tear n Tape to the 1/2" score line on the "triangle".and adhere to the back of the "gate fold" piece. Fold into place so that the point of the "triangle" follows the edges of the "gate fold". Crease well with bone folder.
- Flip the flap up out of the way. Now, take a small stamp and the same ink color or VersaMark, and randomly stamp all over the 2 "gates".
- Now, add the back quarter piece to folded card.
- Stamp a sentiment and coordinating stamp onto White piece. Adhere to inside of card.
- Finally, decorate the front flap, which will add weight to the flap, and help keep it closed.
