I saw this fun, fun fold, from Dawn Griffith that used 2 of my favorite things - the Arched Dies and the new Charming Day Bundle! It also has a neat 2-way opening but most of all, a fun "spring" mechanism, that makes the insert just pop! I'll be looking for ways to encorporate this one in the future!
Measurements:
- Petal Pink: 1/2 sheet
- Subtles Print Pattern: 4" x 5 1/4" (Petal Pink small print)
- Basic White: 3 3/4" x 10" (inside), 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" (Spring Mechanism), 2 1/4" x 3" (arch layer), 1" x 2" (label), scraps
- Mossy Meadow: scrap
To Make this Card:
- Adhere the outside edges only of the DSP to the folded Petal Pink card base.
- Die cut the 5th from the largest arch front the center of the front of this base. You will keep the solid, cardstock piece, and toss the DSP piece.
- Next, die cut the next smallest arch in Basic White and layer together.
- Now, for the inside "card". Fold the largest piece in half. Center it and place inside the base card.
- Next, stamp 3 of the small flowers from the Charming Day stamp set onto a scrap of White. Color in with Blends, and die cut. 2 will go on the outside, and one will go on the inside of the card. I also added Wink of Stella to the flowers at this time, too.
- Stamp the sentiment in Memento Black ink onto the label, and set aside. Also stamp an inside sentiment onto a narrow strip of White and set this aside, too.
- Now, arrange the 2 flowers onto the layered arches, Making sure the "leaves" do not extend over the cut edges. Also, add sentiment to the arch with Dimensionals, as shown.
- Next, we'll make the "spring" mechanism. Score the 1 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece @ 1/2"-1"-1 1/2" from each end. "Accordion" fold at each end, so each end is the same. Crease well.
- Close card, and center "spring mechanism" in arched opening. Adhere the 1/2" on each side, to the center (green glue gives you time to slide it into place) so it will "spring"!
- Next, place adhesive on the exposed 1 1/4" area, center layered arch piece through the opening in the front and adhere to the "spring". And, voila, it's done! (It is a little snug, but that's ok.)
- On the inside of the inside card, Add one of the flowers, along with a die cut, small leaf, in the upper corner. Add the sentiment so that it overlaps the stamped image just a bit.
- Finish with scattered Petal Pink gems from the Charming Shimmer Dots.
