I found this interesting Fun Fold, with no particular instructions! I've done this type of card before, just not recently! I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out! I love the use of the decorative frames from the Scalloped Wishes Bundle! I added a touch of Glimmer from the retired Pastel Ombre Glimmer paper, and of course used the gorgeous Valley in Bloom Suite!
Measurements:
- Garden Green: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3 1/2" x 11" (inside)
- Basic White: 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" (2 frames), 2 1/2" x 4 1/4" (2 flower stems)
- Pastel Ombre Glimmer (ret): 3 3/4" x 4" green - (leaves, dragonfly body); blue scraps (dragonfly wings, small dragonfly)
- Valley in Bloom DSP (N): 5 1/4" x 4" (corner flowers); 2 pcs @ 5 1/4" x 4" ("sky" area of bottom border); 4 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" (small tulip print - backgrounds); 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4" ("sky" background pieces with a little sprig)
To Make This Card:
- Fold Garden Green card base in half. Adhere corner DSP piece to front, and 2
"sky" pieces to each side of the inside. - Score the inside, 4-panel strip in half, @ 5 1/2" and then 2 3/4" from each end. Accordion Fold and crease well.
- Adhere the 4 "small tulip" print pieces to the accordion, alternating the tulips and plaid on the reverse side.
- Next, die cut detailed oval "frame" from the Scalloped Wishes Dies out of the 2 White pieces.
- Then, cut 2 more from the background scraps of the "sky" pieces.
- Stamp the small Lily of the Valley Sprig in the 2 White Ovals.
- Color the flowers with Pool Party Blends and the Leaves with Lemon Lime Twist.
- Adhere to "small tulip" panels. Add a little Wink of Stella to the flowers.
- Now, adhere the 2 "background" oval "frames" to the other 2, plaid, panels.
- Stamp a sentiment in the last frame with Garden Green ink.
- I decided to die cut a "dragonfly" from the Scalloped Wishes Dies from the Pastel Ombre Glitter Paper.
- I also stamped a small dragonfly from the Scalloped Wishes Stamps in StazOn ink onto the Glitter Paper and die cut with coordinating die.
- Next, fold the accordion piece into place. Adhere to the back, inside of card, having even edges showing, and making sure the card will close without the inside panel showing.
- Now, to finish the front.
- Die cut 2 Lily of the Valley "sprigs" from White cardstock. Color the "stems" with the Dk Granny Apple Green Blend. Add a little color to the white flowers with Pool Party.
- Next, die cut 2 "leaves" from the green Pastel Ombre Glitter Paper. Assemble onto the front of card, as shown, with the floral "sprigs".
- I added a small sentiment from the new Phrases & Frames stamps and Impressions dies. The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green ink. I added it to the front of the card with Dimensionals.
- FInish with double White Baker's Twine bow, and scattered Shimmering Dots.
