Cottage Rose Larger Panel Standing Gate Fold Card

Susan Campfield had another version of the Standing Gate Fold Card, with a wider front panel.  This gives this fold a totally different look!  Use this version when your card front or stamped images need a wider base! I just love this card!  You have to see it IRL!

Measurements:  : 

• Crumb Cake: 5 1/2" x 8" (gate fold), 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (base), 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" (top layer)
• Abigail Rose DSP (N) (AC): 2 pcs @ 3/4" x 5 1/4", 1 pc 1 1/4" x 5 1/4" (base, outside right panel) - crumb cake print), 2 pcs @ 1" x 5 1/4" (inside fold panels - espresso print), 3" x 5" (top layer - tulip print), 1 1/4" x 3 3/4" (sentiment - petal pink stripe)
• Early Expresso: 3 1/4" x 5 1/4"
• Basic White: 2 pcs @1 1/8" x 2 1/2"
• Gold Foil: scraps

To Make This Card:

• Score card at 1 1/2"" - 2 3/4" from each end. Accordion fold. Crease well with Bone Folder.
• Attach the 2 - 3/4" pieces to the outer edges of the card "base".
• Adhere the folded piece to this "base".  It DOES overlap the DSP strips, and goes from top to bottom.
• Adhere the 2 - 1" pieces to the inside folds, and the 1 - 1 1/4" DSP piece to the front, RIGHT outside panel.
• Take the "tulip" DSP piece and select one "tulip" to color with Petal Pink Blends.  This is called "Spotlighting.
• Next layer all the 3 front pieces together.
• Place adhesive on LEFT front outside panel and center front piece over folded card, and attach to the left side.  This piece will extend about 1/4" from the wrong side.  It should.
• Attach Pink Stripe to front panel as shown.
• Cut 2 small, wide "banners" from Basic White. 
• Stamp sentiments of your choice on the "banners" in Early Espresso ink.  Attach one to the front of card with Dimensionals over Pink Stripe, attach the other one to the inside, on the front, RIGHT outside panel, as shown.
• Lastly, cut out 2 gold foil flowers and adhere to the front of the card, and under the inside sentiment as shown!

Cottage Rose Twisted Ribbon

I wanted to create a card for class using the Twisted Ribbon Technique! And, I just LOVE the new Cottage Rose Bundle, which will be used for our World Card Making Day Event, Oct 1st through Stkmpin' Up!  Purchase the Bundle, and you get a free package of Iridescent Pearls! For my creation, I used the gorgeous Texture Chic DSP, which has a touch of Gold to it, some Gold Foil, and a little Gold and Vanilla ribbon!!

Measurements:  : 

• Soft Succulent: 1/2 sheet
• Texture Chic DSP (N) (AC): 2" x 5 1/4", 6 pcs @ 1/2" x 3"
• 2021-2023 Incolor 6x6 Pack DSP: 6 pcs @ 1/2" x 3"
• Very Vanilla: 1 3/4" x 5 1/4" (base), 3" square (flower)
• Gold Foil: 1 7/8" x 5 3/8"

To Make This Card:

• Trim 1 7/8" from Soft Succulent card front.  Discard this piece.
• To do the Twisted Ribbon Technique, you need to begin by making a "template". You will use the actual "Vanilla base" to do this.  These "ribbon" pieces are 1/2" wide, so you will be making 1/2" pencil "ticks" on either side of the "base".
• I used 2 contrasting, but coordinating, colors of DSP. Begin at the upper left corner and place the first piece from the upper corner, to the first pencil "tick". The top edge of the strip will be on, or slightly below, the pencil mark. Note: I started with a tape adhesive, but I think the "green glue" works best for this! Continue until all pieces of this pattern, are on the "base".
• You now repeat for the other side, with the other pattern. These pieces will "match" on the OUTSIDE edges.  They DO NOT form an "X"!! Again, you'll go from pencil "tick" to pencil "tick"!!  You can go back and "fill in" top and bottom as needed. Set this aside to dry.
• Next, Stamp the "rose" in Memento Black ink onto square of Very Vanilla cardstock. Color with Blends as shown and cut out with corresponding die.
• Your Twisted Ribbon piece should be dry. Cut around the edges so that it matches with the Vanilla "base". 
• Attach this to the Gold Foil layer, so just a little is showing - about 1/16".  Attach to right side.
• Close card and see if a little gold is showing. If it is not, and you would like it to, you might need to trim a bit of the card front.
• Next, attach DSP to card front, trimming a bit, first, if necessary.
• Now, place several Dimensionals on the center, back of die cut "flower".
• Take the ribbon and make a loop, around your fingers,leaving a nice tail. Attach to back of "flower" on the Dimensionals.  Repeat with another loop and attach, where desired, on the opposite side. Note: with a larger loop, I prefer to use 2 pcs of ribbon, as it's much easier to control!
• Now, attach flower, where desired, on front flap of card, checking to make sure that a Dimensional is not overlapping!
• Finish with several Gold Pearls from the new Festive Gold Pearls.

Cottage Rose Clean & Simple Card

This is one of my favorite bundles, Cottage Rose,  from the new Annual Catalog, and I just haven't had time to use it! I saw a similar card design and thought it would be perfect for my gals at Garner! So, here is the final results.  It uses the coordinating Abigail Rose DSP and a little coloring with Blends.  I just love it!!

Measurements:  : 

• Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 3 1/4" strip (for stamped images & label)
• Abigail Rose DSP (N) (AC): 2 1/2" x 5" (stripe), 1 5/8" x 5" (suede floral)
• Soft Suede: 4" x 5 1/4", scrap

To Make This Card:

• Attach Soft Suede piece to folded White card.
• Add stripe DSP to right side of card, then add Soft Suede floral piece to left side, this will overlap the strip just a bit!
• Stamp large flower in Black Memento ink as well as the separate leaves.  Color with Blends, as shown, and cut out with corresponding dies.
• Also, cut one of the small outline leaves dies from Soft Suede cardstock.
• Next, stamp sentiment in Soft Suede ink onto scrap of white.  Cut out with label of your choice.  I used one from the "All That" dies.
• Arrange all pieces onto card front, placing flower near the bottom.
• Pop up the "large flower" onto the card front.  Everything else is adhered flat.
• Finish with Champagne Rhinestones.
