Wildflower Birthday Shaker Flip Flap Card

I saw this card layout, but was looking for a shaker card using Flip Flaps, so I morphed this idea into one! So, this is a "Becky Original"! It combines a Book Binder card with a shaker card, made with a Flip Flap, used with our Wildflower Birthday DSP! Too much fun!

Measurements: :

Pretty in Pink: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Basic White: 3" square (under Flip Flap); 4" square (inside)
Soft Sea Foam: 3 1/4" square
Wildflower Birthday DSP (OE): 1" x 4", 3" x 3" (pastel stripe); 4" square (pink gingham); square cupcake panel, cut from sheet

To Make This Card:

Fold Pretty in Pink card in half. Score at 4 1/4" - 5 1/2". Crease well.
Attach Tear n Tape to "binding" area and adhere to the back of card.
Attach 1" DSP strip to "binding" area, along with "balloon" die cut.
Adhere Pink Gingham square to card front.
Slip "cupcake panel" into 3" x 3" Flip Flap.
Next, take the pastel stripe square and decorate with die cuts as shown. Flip, Flip Flap up and insert this into the back side of Flip Flap as well.
Now, add some shaker pieces to the inside of the Flip Flap, over the "cupcake panel". Seal with 1/8" Tear n Tape. Set aside.
Next, take White 3" square piece and stamp sentiment in Basic Gray an embellish. Adhere to Soft Seafoam piece.
Lay this on top of Gingham layer, and mark top, lightly, with pencil.
Fold Flip Flap topper back, and into place. Remove backing and place this fold along pencil mark, folding Flip Flap forward.
Now, add Sea Foam layer over the backing, so the piece is centered under the Flip Flap, allowing the Soft Sea Foam to show, as a border.
Finish the inside with large White square, and a die cut "banner".
Finish the outside with a Bubble Bath knot.

Sanded Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder

I was looking for other examples of sanded two-tone papers, and found this one! It utilizes the new Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder in the Online Store, which is part of the Impressions Abloom Bundle. It' s in Pretty in Pink and White. I love the retired Flat Pearls for flower centers so I used a couple of those, oh, and those awesome sentiments from the Greetings for All ephemera pack!

Measurements:

Pretty in Pink: 1/2 sheet
Two-Tone Pretty in Pink: 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"
Basic White: 3 5/8" x 4 1/2", 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), quarter sheet (die cuts)

To Make this Card:

Run "medium" piece of White through new Mini Corrugated Embossing Folder. Adhere to folded Pretty in Pink card.
Die cut Two Tone Pretty in Pink layer through oval from the Impressions Abloom dies.
Now, take the center from the Oval and run through the new Pressed Flowers Embossing Folder.
Next, lightly sand with sanding block to expose the White core.
Using Multipurpose Glue, adhere outside edge of oval to card front.
Then, add the sanded inside image.
Next, stamp 2 small and one large flower, from the Impressions Abloom stamp set, in Pretty in Pink ink onto quarter sheet of White. Die cut with corresponding die.
Now, die cut one small flower, 2 "sets" of small flowers, and 2 "sprigs" from the rest of the White quarter sheet.
I added Wink of Stella to all of the larger flowers.
Arrange onto card front as shown, popping up the larger flower with Dimensionals.
Finish with retired large, flat pearls in the largeflower centers, along with a few scattered smaller pearls. I also added small Iridescent Pearls to the smaller flowers and a sentiment of your choice from the Greetings for All ephemera pack.

Double the Fun Sailboat Card

I did a screenshot of this lovely card, and then I couldn't remember how it was made! Well, I finally remembered!! It was what I called a "Double the Fun" card - a combination of a Book Binder card and a "Z" Fold. It's actually a quick and easy card, that is just gorgeous!

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3 1/4" x 4 1/4", scrap
Thoughtful Journey DSP (OE): 1 6"x6" sheet desired scenic print

To Make This Card:

Fold Thick Basic White card base in half. Score front at 2 1/8" - 4 1/4". Crease well, creating a "book binding" fold and a "Z" fold.
Place Tear n Tape on the 1 1/4" area, near crease. Press together creating a Book Binding Fun Fold.
Take your 6" x 6" pc of "scenic print" and trim so it measures 5 3/8" wide, choosing the best scenery, and removing what you can do without, so it measure 5 3/8" x 6"!
Next, we'll cut across the piece. The first cut is @ 1". (This goes on the "book binding" piece).
Then, cut an arch from the next part of the DSP, using the arch that will fit from top to bottom.
Lastly, straighten the edge from the arch cut for the last piece.
Adhere the first piece to the "book binding".
Stamp the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the arched piece. Then, adhere arch to other White layer.
Next, adhere last DSP strip to inside of card. You may want to trim this a little narrower.
Place Tear n Tape on the "Z" part of the card, along the fold, and along the cut edge.
Center the piece with the arch in place, with even amounts of DSP showing at either end. Press into place.
Die cut a "sailboat" from a white scrap. Adhere to the front of the arch.
Finish by stamping sentiment on the inside.
Finish outside with Wink of Stella in the "water", and scattered Brass Birds.

Wildflower Birthday Lattice Card

Here's another lattice idea, this time using the Wildflower Birthday Die cuts. I also played with a less "bulky" lattice window configuration with the card front. I like how this one turned out much better than the Pretty Peacock one I posted about a week ago! Less bulk, cleaner results! Such a new layout!

Measurements:

Pretty in Pink: 4" x 11"
Bubble Bath: 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (base); 3 3/4" x 5" (inside)

To Make This Card:

Fold Pretty in Pink piece in half. Die cut rectangle opening approx 1 3/4" from the fold, in the front of the card with the "lattice" die. The die is the full width of the cardstock, You'll end up with a chopped up card front, lattice piece, and a scrap. Keep all pieces
Place 1/8" Tear n Tape along the newly cut, front edge. Attach one long side of the "lattice" piece.
Repeat for the other end as well, using remaining bottom piece (scrap)
At this point, this piece is too long. Measure so card front measures 5 1/4". You'll remove approx.1/4" from the bottom of the folded card, both edges at the same time.
Now, mount onto Bubble Bath Base, and insert smaller Bubble Bath piece on the inside.
Select die cut of your choice for the front.
Slip a Silicone mat inside and, using Multipurpose Glue, adhere die cut over the "lattice" and hopefully securing to both the top and bottom of the card. (Note: the cake that I used did not have a candle at the top, so I cut one from one of the many cupcake die cuts on the sheet of options.)
Finish with a sentiment stamped in Blueberry Bushel ink, and scattered Sparkle Gems. I also added a couple of die cuts to the inside.
