Fall In the Grove Card Modified Joy Fold

One of my customers directed me to Julie Davison's video for her (and her Mom's) ideas using the In the Grove Bundle. This was one of her samples, that I did tweak a bit. I love it, and think it will be perfect for my Senior Center girls! This one uses the In the Grove dies and Thoughtful Journey DSP! I added the Leaf Fall 3D Embossing folder now in the Online Exclusives to the front, base, as well as the darling little critters from the dies!

Measurements:

Pretty Peacock: 1/2 sheet
Very Vanilla: 2 3/4" x 4 1/4" (inside)
Wild Wheat: 4 1/2" x 6", scraps
Mossy Meadow: 4" x 5 1/4"
Thoughtful Journey DSP (N): 2 3/4" x 4 1/4", 1/2" x 5 1/2"

To Make This Card:

Fold Pretty Peacock card base in half. Trim 1" from front.
Emboss remaining front with Leaf Fall 3D Embossing Folder.
Fold Wild Wheat "card" in half so measures 3" x 4 1/2".
Attach Vanilla piece to inside,
Die cut "grove" of Birch trees onto Mossy Meadow piece.
Attach left side of this piece to DSP layer with Multipurpose Glue. Trim even with the DSP.
Attach this to the Wild Wheat card.
Next, attach to Pretty Peacock card base so that crease of smaller card is flush with the cut edge of the card base. Centering along cut edge.
Add 1/2" DSP strip to bare, outside edge.
Finish with small critters cut from In the Grove dies, and scattered, new Faux Glass gems.

In the Grove meets Thoughtful Journey

One can't have too many "tree" dies! This one is another gorgeous die that creates a horizontal, rectangle opening of BIRCH trees! (Each die has it's own "tree" and orientation!). I love the rounded corners and graceful bottom edge on this one. These always work so well with our scenic papers and make awesome guy cards! I usually don't like to mess with the design with a sentiment, but this one is...okay. I love the extra design of this card, which adds an additional, smaller card inside with the embossed DSP. So many of our DSP's would work for this design! Give it a try!

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
Basic White: 5" x 7 1/2" (inside card)
Boho Blue: scrap
Thoughtful Journey DSP (N): 3 3/4" x 5", 1/2" x 5" strip

To Make This Card:

Fold Thick, White card base in half. Center and die cut the Birch trees. I also cut the White "tag" from the Changing Leaves Dies from the area between the trees. (It really doesn't need to be thick, but, hey, it works!)
Run DSP piece through the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder, now found in the Online Exclusives.
Adhere this piece to the folded inside card. The cut edges will be flush with the card.
Next, attach this card to the inside of the card base. I added a strip of DSP to the inside, flush with the inside bottom of this card.
For the tag, stamp sentiment of your choice onto the White circle in Boho Blue ink. Attach this to the 3rd smallest Deckled Circle Die, also now found in the Online Exclusives, cut in Boho Blue cardstock.
Add to card front with Multipurpose Glue.
Finish card with scattered Dragonflies and Birds, from the Online Exclusives.
