Sweet Bugs Double Panel Card

 Currently, I'm still in Fargo, ND, after moving Amanda up to her new job at the Dakota Boys & Girls Ranch! It seems like FOREVER since I've been able to stamp!  I've only been home one day since Christmas Day!  I DO still have Stamp Club on Saturday, so I did bring a few stamping supplies along to prep for that!  I couldn't bring too much, because I DO still need to fly back!  What I grabbed was the darling Cute as a Bug Bundle, and I've had so much fun playing!  The only drawback...I've had to fussy cut everything (there are dies, but no machine!)  This card is actually new to me, I think! It's called a Double Panel card, and I'm see a lot of inspiration everywhere for it!  The directions for this one I found with Dawn Griffith, and the design inspiration from the Stamp Doc.  We will be making this one at club this month!



Measurements:   

  • Mossy Meadow: 4 1/4" x 10 3/4"
  • Crushed Curry: 3 1/4" x 10"
  • Basic White: 2 1/2" x 4" (top panel); 2 pcs @ 3" x 4 3/4"
  • Cute as a Bug DSP (N): 2 1/4" x 4" (sm flower); 2 3/4" x 4 1/2" (lt green bug print), 2 "bug" die cuts
To Make This Card:
  • Fold  Mossy Meadow card base in half and remove 2 3/4" from the front.  Set aside to be used later.
  • Adhere the small flower DSP to top, front flap.
  • Fold the Crushed Curry inside panel in half.  Attach one white piece to the inside, and one to the outside.
  • Next, attach Bug Print DSP on top of the White piece on top of the Crushed Curry panel.
  • Adhere this "card" to the inside of Mossy Meadow card base, with crease close to the crease of the Mossy card.
  • Next, wrap the Old Olive "trim" around the top flap, coming together at the front and center.
  • Now, stamp sentiment in Black Ink onto lower edge of the smaller White piece.
  • Then, adhere die cut "caterpillar" to front with Dimensionals, and attach to Mossy Meadow piece you cut from the front.
  • Next, attach this piece to the front flap.  Make sure to only add adhesive to the top half of this piece.  I actually used Dimensionals, but I'm not sure that is really necessary.
  • Finish the front with scattered, Old Olive Moody Palette Glossy Dots, and one of the cute Ladybug Garden Epoxy Shapes.
  • Finish the inside of the Crushed Curry card with another "bug" die cut.
