Clean & Simple Sketched Butterfly Card

I was looking for a clean and simple card for my Senior Center class this month, and found this layout! I grabbed the retired Bloom Impressions DSP from SAB, the dies and stamps from the Sketched Butterfly Bundle (still available), and a retired Basics Embossing Folder, to create this card. Please to note, I frequently use up my retired products for these classes! But, you should already have them, too, or at least something that will work!

Measurements:

Daffodil Delight: 1/2 sheet, scraps (for die cut butterflies)
Basic White: 2 pcs @ 4" x 5 1/4" (one for the inside), 2 5/8" square
Calypso Coral: 2 7/8" square
Bloom Impressions DSP: 2 pcs @ 2 3/8" square, 1/2" x 4"

To Make This Card:

Run one of the White layers through an Embossing Folder. Attach to folded Daffodil Delight card base.
Attach the 2 DSP pieces to the corners of the card, as shown.
Stamp sentiment in Calypso Coral ink onto White square. Add White square to Calypso Coral Square, and attach to card base with Dimensionals.
Die cut single "detail" butterfly from scrap of Daffodil Delight, along with the center butterfly from the trio of detailed butterflies. You will have to do a little trimming on this one.
Add a little additional color with Calypso Coral ink, and small Blending Brush. Attach to White square with Mini Glue Dots.
Finish inside of card with remaining White layer, and the DSP strip.
Finish the outside, with Faceted Iridescent Gems, and Neutral Sequins.

Bloom Impressions Accordion Gatefold Card

So, here is the version from Susan Campfield (with my own touches), This is the one that we will be doing in class this month! It uses the FREE SAB Bloom Impressions DSP, which has MANY color options to choose from! I also used one of the small butterfly dies and sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies in the Annual Catalog.

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 3" x 10 5/8", 2 pcs @ 1" x 2 3/4", scrap
Melon Mambo: scrap
Bloom Impressions (N(SAB)): 4 1/8" x 5 3/8" (inside), 2 pcs @ 2" x 5 3/8" (front flaps), 2 pcs @ 2" x 2 3/4" (White floral); 2 pcs @ 2" x 5 3/8" (inside flaps), 1/2" x 1 2" (Dark pink mini flowers); 2 pcs @ 2" x 2 3/4" (Light pink mini flowers - flip side of dark)

To Make This Card:

The base of this card is a "gate" fold. Take the 1/2 sheet of White and score at 2 1/8" from one end. Then, take the other side and match cut edges and crease, creating a "gate" fold.
To this, adhere the White Floral Print to the 2 front flaps.
At this point, you are going to make and attach the 2 "strips" that will hold the "accordion" piece to the card base.
Take the 2, 1" pieces and score lengthwise @ 1/2". Crease Well.
Place Tear n Tape on both sides. Remove backing of one side, and adhere to the inside of a flap, lining up fold to cut edge. Repeat for the other side.
Now, you can attach the large White Floral piece to the inside, and Pink floral print (either side) to the 2 flaps on either side, over the "extensions". Set aside.
Now, for the "accordion" piece. Score at 2 1/8"- 4 1/4"-6 3/8"-8 1/2", across the piece.
To fold, start at the left side and make a "mountain" fold, a "valley" fold, another "valley" fold, and end with a "mountain" fold. Crease well with a bone folder. Fold up so it all lays on top of each other. (You might need trim, re-crease to make it lay flat. And, try creasing both ways, as one might work better than the other!) Your card can open either way.
Arrange the 4 - 2" x 2 3/4" DSP pieces onto the Accordion panels, in any order desired, leaving the center panel free for your sentiment.
Stamp the sentiment of your choice in black, and add a small strip of DSP to the bottom.
Now, your ready to insert the "accordion" piece!
Place Tear n Tape on the wrong side of the center section, the one with the sentiment.
Open the card base, and center and adhere to the inside on the large White Floral DSP. Press well.
Now, for the 2 outside panels/tabs. Take one of the "tabs" and lay out flat, so it looks like an extension of the front flap. Remove the tape backing, and fold the panel into place. Repeat for the other side. Voila! It is done!
Die cut a single "butterfly" from Melon Mambo cardstock. Shape and add to "front" panel with Mini Glue Dots. I also added a bit of sparkle with Wink of Stella.
Die cut small label from Countryside Corners Dies in White cardstock.
Stamp small sentiment onto label. Attach to front panel with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.
Finish with scattered Purple SAB Sequins - in pink.

Blackberry Bliss Clean & Simple Spring Corner Card

I just love the color combination of this Bloom Impressions DSP! Plus it uses all kinds of SAB Freebies. AND, the awesome Spring Corners Bundle from the Online Store!! (Did you miss this one?) Love it!! Again, this is a wonderful idea awesome for many occasions, and many color combinations from the DSP!!

Measurements:

Blackberry Bliss: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3" x 4 1/4", 1/2" x 4"
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4 (inside), 2 3/4" x 4"
Bloom Impressions DSP (N)(SAB): 4" x 5 1/2", 1/2" x 4" (Blackberry Bliss floral)

To Make This Card:

Cut DSP piece at 3 1/4". Adhere to top, front of folded Blackberry Bliss card.
Flip over DSP, and adhere "solid" to bottom of card front, overlapping floral piece.
Take 1/2" Blackberry cardstock strip and adhere where 2 pcs meet.
Next, take White layer, and stamp sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink. I used my Stamparatus for placement, but it is a clear stamp, so that is fairly easy to do without it.
Now, die cut detailed floral image in opposite corner. Mount to smaller, Blackberry piece.
Attach to card front with Dimensionals.
Add White piece to inside, along with DSP strip.
Finish card front with scattered SAB Purple Sequins, and small SAB Fresh Freesia Seam Binding bow.

Purple Heart Shaped Bloom Impressions

I just love this color combination that is inspired by the colors in the Bloom Impressions DSP in the SAB brochure! It is paired with Spotlight on Nature dies, and a little bling. I just love it!

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet
Basic White: 3" square (stamped heart), 3 3/8" square (backing for circle), scrap
Blackberry Bliss: 2 3/4" square (die cut heart), 3 1/2" square (decorative circle), 2 3/4" x 4"
Petunia Pop: scraps
Fresh Freesia: scraps
Adhesive Sheet: 2 3/4" square
Bloom Impressions (SAB): 3 3/4" x 5" 1/2" x 5 1/4" (inside) Purple Flowers

To Make This Card:

Attach large Blackberry Bliss piece and DSP piece to folded White card base.
Also, attach 2 3/4" x 4", where shown.
Die cut decorative circle using the Spotlight on Nature dies, from the Blackberry Bliss Square. I wanted to be able to see the decoration on this circle, so I adhered it to a slightly larger square of White. (There was no circle die that I could find for this purpose). After you have done this, take a pair of Paper Snips, and trim the White to fit. You'll want to try to "undercut" this piece, so you can't see the White from the edges. Attach this to the card front.
Next, stamp "detailed" heart in Petunia Pop ink onto 3" square. Die cut with "Radiating" circle. This will just fit! Attach to the larger circle, with Dimensionals.
Attach adhesive sheet to the 2 3/4" Blackberry Bliss square. Die cut detailed heart. Peel off backing and attach to White circle over stamped heart.
Die cut 3 Petunia Pop and 3 Fresh Freesia Flowers. Arrange onto heart, where desired. (3 go on the front, and 3 go inside!)
Stamp sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink. Die cut with corresponding label die. Add to card as shown. I placed Dimensionals on the right side so it was even with the circle
Finish the inside with a strip of DSP, and 3 flowers. Since this is inside, I wanted the flower centers flat, so I used the SAB Purple Sequins.
For the outside, I embellished the flowers and label with Purple Shimmer Gems.
