Ok, I promise that this is the last one!! (This should have posted Thursday.....Technology!)

Can you figure out which one it is??

Plaid & Wreath Fun Fold

Here's a twist on an "old" fold. First of all, I'm lovin' the Best Plaid Builder Dies! And, the twist is layering scalloped rectangles to the extra piece!!  They fit perfectly,  I will admit all that cardstock does make this card a little heavy.  Also, love, love this color combination - Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight and White!



Measurements:  

  • Calypso Coral: 1/4  sheet,3 1/8" x 8 1/2", 3 3/4" x 5", scraps
  • Granny Apple Green: 4" x 5 1/4", 3 1/8" x 4 1/4", 3 3/4" square
  • Whisper White: 3 3/4" x 5", 2 3/4" x 3 7/8", 3 1/8" x 4 1/4"
  • Daffodil Delight:scraps
To Make this Card:

  • Layer Granny Apple Green onto Calypso Coral quarter.  Run Whisper White through Plaid "base".  You will need to trim this one a bit to fit right. Run "grid" through smaller Calypso Coral piece. Attach to card over White "base".
  • Fold long Calypso Coral piece in half.  Attach to card over "Plaid" with Tear Tape or Seal+.
  • Cut larger scallop rectangle from both the Whisper White piece, and the Granny Apple Piece.  Attach the White piece to the inside, and the Granny Apple piece to the front.
  • Cut final White piece with medium scallop recctangle. Attach to card over Green layer.
  • Cut ONE "berry" Wreath from Granny Apple square.  Attach to card "flap". Cut 4 Calypso Coral "flowers" and 3 small "flowers" and add to Wreath. 
  • Stamp greeting in center of Wreath in Calypso Coral.
  • Finish with double loop Daffodil Bow and coordinating embellishment centers.

Blue & Silver Card

The picture of this card does not do it justice.  It is absolutely gorgeous!! And, depending on the Foils and Glimmer papers you use, it would be good for many occasions!


Measurements:  

  • Thick Whisper White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Feels Like Frost DSP (N): 4 ¼” square
  • Silver Foil: 1 3/8” x 4 ¼”, 3 ¾” square
  • Balmy Blue Glimmer (N): 3 ¾” square 


To Make this Card:

  • Fold Thick White cardstock in half.  Adhere DSP to card, starting at fold. This does not have and "edge" around it. And this time the fold is at the TOP. Trim the front of the card even with the DSP edge.
  • Cut "berry" Wreath from the Balmy Blue Glimmer paper and "smooth" Wreath from Silver Foil. (Imagine the numerous GORGEOUS combinations you can come up with!!)
  • Layer wreaths onto front of card. Add a bow, and small glimmer flowers from center of Wreath. I added rhinestones to the centers of the small flowers.  You might need to add an extra Mini Glue Dot, as nothing likes to stick to the glimmer paper!
  • Finish by running the Sliver Foil strip through the Daity Diamonds Embossing Folder, and adhering to bottom of card.  I LOVE the look of the embossed foil!
