This is another version of Patty Bennett's Translucent Floral cards, only this Nested Essentials Dies piece, creates a flap closure (which I have done before, only it opened on the side instead of the top!) Also, instead of a stamped image, I fussy cut smaller floral images from the DSP! Fun, gorgeous card!
Measurements:
- Fresh Freesia: 1/2 sheet, 2 3/4" x 4 3/4" (label)
- Delightful Florals (OE)(N): 3" x 5 1/4" (small floral), 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" (Freesia watercolor), scraps (small floral)
- Basic White: 1/4 sheet, 2" x 4 1/4"
To Make This Card:
- Fold Fresh Freesia base in half. Crease well. Then, trim away 1" from front flap. You can toss this piece.
- Attach Floral DSP piece to front flap.
- Die cut larger (not largest) Nested Essentials Die shown from Fresh Freesia. Cut a smaller one from White..
- Score the top side of the Fresh Freesia die approx 1/2"-5/8" from the end. Crease well.
- Attach the White layer and trim right side even with score line on the Fresh Freesia piece.
- Lay the White, inside piece inside of the card. DO NOT attach, yet. This is a FULL quarter piece, as the "flap" needs to be able to easily go over the front flap!
- Center the "labels" on the front of the card.
- Now, place Tear Tape on the "wrong" side of the scored flap of the labels, and attach to the wrong side of the inside, White piece.
- Then, attach this piece to the inside of the card, and you're almost done!
- Select a couple of small flowers from the DSP and fussy cut them out.
- Attach one on top, as shown, stamp your chosen sentiment in Fresh Freesia, and then add your other flower. (You might want to plan a bit, first!)
- Oh, add the 1 1/4" of DSP to the inside, right side of the card. Either use another print, or the more watercolor side.
- Finish with scattered Tinsel Gems 3.
- I adhered mine with a clear velcro dot.
