Frames and Flowers Oval Die

 Hold on to your hats!  I've been preparing for my Frames and Flowers "kit" class this week, so I have TONS of ideas to share using that awesome "kit". My goal was to keep them simple, and to use minimal, or repeated, supplies! I grabbed a variety of embellishments, ribbons, and sentiments, two or three coordinating colors of ink, a variety of basic dies, and off I went!  I can't wait to share with my customers!! (and with you)

Measurements:  

• Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet
• Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4"
• Frames and Flowers (N): Oval frame die, Oval floral die

To Make This Card:

• Attach the White layer to folded Pretty Peacock card.
• Scotch tape the "insert" into the "frame". Attach this to the White layer.
• Add the Oval floral frame to the "frame" with Dimensionals. 
• Stamp sentiment from the Happiest Day (only odd ball sentiment I used, but it fit in the opening!) in the center of oval with Pretty Peacock ink.
• Finish with a bow of Petal Pink ribbon (mine is retired) and scattered Petal Pink Foiled gems

4-strip Puzzle Slider Card - WOW!!

 I've now tried many of the Puzzle Slider Cards, with varying strips!  This was the last one that Sue Campfield shared, with sketchy direction! I thought it turned out really well, after one failure!! This one utilizes a scenic sheet from the Thoughtful Journey DSP on the inside (she used the thistle) and the gorgeous Thoughtful Designs DSP in Mossy Meadow (she used Pretty Peacock) on the front. If was a fun challenge, and I liked how it turned out!

Measurements:  

• Basic White: 4 1/4" x 9 1/2", 4 pcs @ 1 1/16" x 5 1/2", 2 1/2" x 4" (sprig), scraps
• Thoughtful Designs (N): 4 pcs @ 7/8" x 5"
• Thoughtful Journey DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (scenic piece)

To Make This Card:

• Score card base at 1" - 2" - 7 1/2" - 8 1/2" (or 1" & 2" from each :end) Accordion fold each end well. Set aside.
• Layout 4 White strips (puzzle pieces) on the table.
• Take the top one and cut @ 1 1/4", leaving 4 1/4". Set back onto table.
• Take the next piece and cut @ 2 1/4", leaving 3 1/4". Set back onto table.
• Take the next piece and cut @ 3 1/4", leaving 2 1/4". Set that on the table,
• And, lastly take the bottom piece and cut at 4 1/4", leaving 1 1/4". Replace.
• Now, take DSP for the front, and cut as follows.  The idea is to keep the pattern matched AFTER you cut it apart, hence the "puzzle" aspect of this card. 
• Take the top strip and remove 1", leaving 4". Lay on top of coordinating White pieces.
• Take the next piece and remove 2", leaving 3".
• The next piece, remove 3", leaving 2".
• And the bottom piece, remove 4", leaving 1".
• Now, adhere the DSP pieces to the corresponding White layer. I took mine one at a time and placed them back in place on my table.
• Let's finish the inside next. Add the the scenic piece of Thoughtful Journey DSP to the inside.. Stamp sentiment in Mossy Meadowt ink onto piece of White and die cut with narrow banner die from the Stylish Shapes Dies. Attach to inside of card.
• Now, back to the front of the "base". Add Tear n Tape to the top 1" on each side. 
• Starting with the upper left "puzzle piece", add to 1" piece, matching upper corner, top and sides of the flap.
• Repeat with all strips, and then go to the other side and finish. The pieces might overlap slightly, that is not a problem!
• For the outside, stamp sentiment onto scrap of White. Die cut with wider banner die, as shown.  
• I also cut a "sprig" in white, from Flowers of Beauty dies.
• Attach "sprig" to front as shown.  Add sentiment to card with Dimensionals.
• Finish with scattered, gold Sparkle Gems.

Unbounded Beauty Puzzle Slider Card

This is one of Sue Campfield's original ideas for her Puzzle Slider Card. It utilizes the Unbounded Beauty DSP and Unbounded Love Bundle.  I added my own twist with a few Glimmer paper accents. So pretty and so easy to do!

Measurements:  

• Basic White: 4 1/4" x 9 1/2", 2 pcs @ 2 1/8" x 2 1/4", 2 pcs @ 2 1/8" x 3 1/4", scrap
• Unbounded Beauty (N): 3 3/4" x 5" (Berry Burst print)(front), 4" x 5 1/4" (stripe)
• Berry Burst Glimmer Paper (OE): scraps

To Make This Card:

• Score card base at 1" - 2" - 7 1/2" - 8 1/2" (or 1" & 2" from each end) Accordion fold each end well. Set aside.
• Take DSP for the front, and cut as follows.  The idea is to keep the pattern matched AFTER you cut it apart, hence the "puzzle" aspect of this card. 
• First, cut the DSP piece in half lengthwise at 1 7/8". Take the TOP strip and cut a 3" piece, which leaves 2".  Lay that out as it was, on the table.
• Take the BOTTOM strip and reverse the measurements. Cut a 2" strip FIRST, which leaves a 3" piece. Lay this out with the other 2 pieces, which will reassemble the whole piece
• Next, lay out the White layering pieces. These ARE all rectangles, so make sure you have the smaller pieces laid out correctly.  You can double check them with the DSP pieces.  They only fit one way.
• Adhere the DSP pieces to the corresponding White layer. I took mine one at a time and placed them back in place on my table.
• Let's finish the inside next. Add the Berry Burst Stripe to the inside. Stamp sentiment in Berry Burst ink onto piece of White and die cut with scallop oval die from the Unbounded Love Dies. Attach to inside of card.
• Now, back to the front of the "base". Add Tear n Tape to the top 1" on each side. 
• Starting with the upper left "puzzle piece", add to 1" piece, matching upper corner, top and sides of the flap.
• Repeat with the lower left "puzzle piece", and then go to the other side and finish. The pieces might overlap slightly, that is not a problem!
• For the outside "labels", Stamp sentiment onto scrap of White. Die cut with label die, as shown.  Also, cut same die from Berry Burst Glimmer paper. Cut in half and mount behind label.
• Also die cut detailed "leaves" from scraps of Berry Burst Glimmer paper. 
• Add single leaf to inside, tucked under oval.
• Attach double leaves to back of labels. and attach all to the front panel, as shown, with Mini Dimensionals.
• Finish with Rhinestones colored with Berry Burst Blend, and a bow of retired Berry Burst ribbon.

Perennial Lavender Double Stack Display Card

 Leave it to Sue Campfield to come up with a creative twist to a Mounted Double Gate Fold! She calls it a Double Stack Display Card, or a "Free Standing Card". I did pretty much copy one of her many ideas, this first try.  Stay tuned to more samples!  This fold is really awesome, and easy to do...once you have the measurements!  So, stay tuned!

Measurements:  

• Basic White: 1/4 sheet (base), 4 1/4" x 11" (card), 3 1/2" x 3 3/4", scraps
• Gorgeous Grape: 3 1/2" x 3 3/4", 3 3/4" x 4"
• Perennial LavPender DSP (ret): 2 pcs @ 3/4" x 4" (purple print), 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" (purple watercolor), 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" (corner print)

To Make This Card:

• Score "card" at 2" & 3 3/4" from each end. Accordion fold each end. Crease well.
• Place the 3/4" DSP strips on the "base" (post card piece). One each end.
• Next, place adhesive on the larger, bottom of the card. Center this piece between the DSP strips and adhere to this "post card" base.
• Now, to do the "overlapping" pieces!
• There are only 2 layers to the "back" layers. Take the smaller Gorgeous Grape layer, and the "watercolor" layer and adhere together.
• Attach to the "right gate", making sure that the cut edge of the Grape piece does not overlap the card crease. Adhere.
• Then, let's create the top layers.  For this she make 3 layers.  So, attach the White and DSP to the larger Grape layer.
• Next, Attach it to the "left gate" centering over "right gate" pieces, too!
• Let's finish with some sentiments.  These come from the So Sincere stamp set. And are stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink.
• The "labels" are from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies!
• Finish with a couple Brass Butterflies, and scattered Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
