I absolutely LOVE the frames in the Darling Details dies. They are just gorgeous! So, I was delighted when my Stampin' Club hostess chose this bundle for July club! To be honest, I originally just got the dies, but the stamps are so awesome, I went back and got them, too. This sample, also by Sue Campfield, uses both frames and the stamped flowers. Please note the dimensions for the panels for this card are a little larger than the Timeless Arrangements one, to accommodate the frames.
Measurements:
- Basic White: 1/2 sheet, 2 1/4" x 3" (pop up), 2 5/8" x 3 7/8" (bottom panel frame),2 7/8" x 4 1/8" (bottom panel base) 3 3/4" x 4 7/8" (top panel frame), 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" (top panel base) scraps
- Delightfully Eclectic DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
To Make This Card:
- Fold the White base in half. Then, fold the card front back on itself, creating a "Z" fold.
- Attach desired DSP to back panel.
- Next, we'll create the pop up mechanism. Score along the 3" side at 3/4"-1 1/2"-2 1/4". Crease well along all score lines creating a "box".
- Now, flatten that "box" so that the 2 cut edges meet. Place Tear n Tape along the FOLDS (or the entire 3/4" piece if you prefer). Make sure the cut edges do not overlap each other, or prevent the back fold from creasing.
- Next, place the "box" tape side down on the "inside" of the card (so half will be on top of the DSP), so that the cut edges are along the crease of the card. This is best done with the card laying flat/open. Adhere the Tear n Tape down well. (I got in there with my bone folder.
- Now, to create the next panel. Die cut the smaller "eyelet frame" from the smaller piece. Adhere to the smaller base. Stamp the sentiment of your choice in Berry Burst ink.
- Place Tear n Tape on the "top" of the "box". Line the cut edge of this panel even with the embossed panel and centered on the card. Carefully press onto adhesive.
- Now for the top panel. Die cut the larger "eyelet frame" from the smaller top piece. Adhere to the top base.Set aside.
- On scraps of White - stamp the larger "flower" in Bubble Bath ink, stamp "details" in Berry Burst. Stamp the "half flower" in stamped off Berry Burst ink and stamp "details" on top with full-strength Berry Burst. Stamp the "leaves" in stamped off Old Olive ink. Add leaf "outline" and "details" in full-strength Old Olive ink.
- Die cut all stamped images with corresponding dies.
- Attach leaves to card front, first. Then, add larger flower to card front with Dimensionals as shown. Then tuck the "half flower" under the larger flower, and adhere, flat, to the card front.
- Lastly, attach 1/2 of front panel to folded back panel. You want to line it up so that a little bit of the back DSP shows.
- Finish with sentiment stamped above images in Berry Burst ink, and a few scattered Brass Butterflies.
