I'm always on the lookout for creative, fun folds and I spotted this one. I did something like this A LONG time ago, but then "everything old is new, again"! This one comes thanks to Kathy Alt. It's really fun and easy, just takes almost a full sheet of DSP, which is where our free SAB DSP's come in! Anyway, the colors and DSP are just cheery and it really is quite easy to make!
Measurements: :
- Blueberry Bushel: 1/4 sheet, 3 3/8" x 4 5/8" (outside layer), 3 5/8" x 4 7/8" (inside layer) 2 1/2" square (corner)
- Basic White: 3 3/8" x 4 5/8" (inside), 3 1/8" x 4 3/8" (outside), 2 3/4" x 4 3/4" (floral image)
- Bloom Impressions DSP (ret): 6 3/4" x 8", 2 1/4" square
To Make This Card:
- To score the DSP piece, place the side that you want to shop on top, face down.
- On the 6 3/4" side score @ 2 3/4" (See Kathy's diagram, above). Rotate to the left and score @ 2 3/4". Fold on the score lines as shown.
- To make the "square", fold in the opposite direction, creating a diagonal through the spot where the score ines cross. As you do this, the score lines should line up. And this "origami" piece is done. (Kind of like a "squash" card.)
- For the inside of the card, adhere the 2 "inside" pieces together. Stamp sentiment on the White layer in Blueberry Bushel ink.
- Layer the 2 square pieces together, and place on the inside square for "support" as shown.
- Next, stamp and color the "flower" with Blends. Die cut with corresponding die.. I also added a little Wink of Stella to all the flowers!
- Layer the outside 2 layers together, and then add the "flower" to the front with Dimensionals.
- Stamp sentiment in Blueberry Bushel in.
- Finish with new, scattered 2024 Flat Pearls, and a bow of Shy Shamrock ribbon.
- Now, you can add the front layers to the card base! ONLY the upper left corner of this piece is adhered to the "square" of the DSP. Center these layers on the front, and adhere to the square only.
- It should look like the 2nd picture when opened!
