Perennial Lavender Diagonal Panoramic Card

I had so much fun creating the Autumn Diagonal Panoramic Card for Stamp Club, that I just had to try another version with a 12x12 border print. For this one, I chose the Perennial Lavender DSP. Once figured out, the possibilities are endless! I have so many border and scenic papers that would work with fold! Check yours out, I bet you do, too!

Measurements:

Highland Heather: 1/2 sheet, 4 3/4" x 8"
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (inside), scrap
3 Color Glimmer Paper (OE): scraps (Highland Heather)
Perennial Lavender DSP: 4 3/4" x 7 1/2" (border print), 4" x 5 1/4" (corner print - front), 4" x 5 1/4" (solid purple print)

To Make This Card:

Score 4 3/4" x 8" Highland Heather cardstock every 2".
Place a pencil mark 2" from the bottom on the right side of this piece.
Diagonally cut from upper left side to pencil mark. Toss the top part.
Now, to cut the DSP for this diagonal piece.Take the larger DSP piece and make a pencil mark 1/4" from upper left edge. And, make another pencil mark UP 1 7/8" from lower right corner. Cut diagonally between pencil marks. Set top part of DSP aside. You will not need this.
Now, match and adhere these 4 pieces to the panels of the diagonal base, keeping the panoramic view intact. This piece is done.
Back to the card base. Adhere the White piece to the inside.
Attach the purple DSP piece to other inside area.
Next, take the remaining Corner Border DSP piece and adhere to front of card.
Now, let's attach the diagonal piece to the inside! Place Tear n Tape on the 2 outside panels of the diagonal piece. Line up the center score line with the center of the card base, leaving an 1/8" edge above layers, and adhere either end to card base.
Let's finish this up. Die cut small scalloped label from Highland Heather Glimmer paper, from the Unbounded Love Dies. Stamp sentiment in Highland Heather ink onto scrap of White and die cut, again, with the same label die. Attach together with scotch tape. , then add to card front with Dimensionals.
For the inside, stamp sentiment in Highland Heather. I added some little sprigs also cut from Highland Heather Glimmer paper.
Finish with Purple Fine Shimmer Gems and Brass Butterflies.

Perennial Lavender Double Stack Display Card

Leave it to Sue Campfield to come up with a creative twist to a Mounted Double Gate Fold! She calls it a Double Stack Display Card, or a "Free Standing Card". I did pretty much copy one of her many ideas, this first try. Stay tuned to more samples! This fold is really awesome, and easy to do...once you have the measurements! So, stay tuned!

Measurements:

Basic White: 1/4 sheet (base), 4 1/4" x 11" (card), 3 1/2" x 3 3/4", scraps
Gorgeous Grape: 3 1/2" x 3 3/4", 3 3/4" x 4"
Perennial LavPender DSP (ret): 2 pcs @ 3/4" x 4" (purple print), 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" (purple watercolor), 3 1/4" x 3 1/2" (corner print)

To Make This Card:

Score "card" at 2" & 3 3/4" from each end. Accordion fold each end. Crease well.
Place the 3/4" DSP strips on the "base" (post card piece). One each end.
Next, place adhesive on the larger, bottom of the card. Center this piece between the DSP strips and adhere to this "post card" base.
Now, to do the "overlapping" pieces!
There are only 2 layers to the "back" layers. Take the smaller Gorgeous Grape layer, and the "watercolor" layer and adhere together.
Attach to the "right gate", making sure that the cut edge of the Grape piece does not overlap the card crease. Adhere.
Then, let's create the top layers. For this she make 3 layers. So, attach the White and DSP to the larger Grape layer.
Next, Attach it to the "left gate" centering over "right gate" pieces, too!
Let's finish with some sentiments. These come from the So Sincere stamp set. And are stamped in Gorgeous Grape ink.
The "labels" are from the Thoughtful Expressions Dies!
Finish with a couple Brass Butterflies, and scattered Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
