Sunset Coast Tri-Fold #2

 Here is another sample using the Sunset Coast Bundle with the Scenic Coast DSP as a Tri-fold. This one is the 12x12 White Willow version (a little narrower). Instead of the "sailboat", I used the "lighthouse". The colors are a little more intense, so I used darker "seagulls", and the Sunset Sparkle Sequins for the embellishment.




Measurements:  

  • Willow White: 5 1/2" x 12"
  • Blueberry Bushel scrap
  • Adhesive Sheet: scrap
  • Scenic Coast DSP (N): 3 7/8" x 5 3/8" (narrower card)
To Make This Card:

  • Score card base @ 4" - 8".
  • Die cut opening of your choice on the front flap from the Sunset Coast Dies.  I did mine a little above the center of the card.
  • Fold card into place.  Open front flap, and adhere DSP to the next section, on the right.
  • Next, I cut the 3 "seagulls".  I placed a scrap of an adhesive strip on the back of scrap of cardstock, before cutting out.  Choose a color that coordinates with your chose DSP.  All of them will work! I choose Blueberry Bushel for this one.
  • Leaving card folded into place, peel adhesive back from the "seagulls" and adhere into place. I placed one on the card front, and the other 2 through the opening, and on the inside DSP.
  • Now, stamp your sentiment on the front.  I used one from the Sunset Coast Stamps and stamped it in Blueberry Bushel ink. 
  • I also stamped the little "sailboats" in Blueberry Bushel ink inside.
  • Finish the inside, with the remaining piece of DSP - why not!?
  • Finish the front by adding Wink of Stella to the "seagulls"  and scatter the new Sunset Sparkle Sequins.

Double Vision Sunset Coast

 I just love this new, Double Vision technique! It is particularly stunning with a scenic DSP, just over the top with our new Scenic Coast Specialty DSP (check out the iridescence). I'm also always on the lookout for unique dies, and the dies in the Sunset Coast Bundle are just that - unique! This sample, I went back to the lower Dimensional "edges" for the popped up pieces.  I DO think I like that effect the best!  You need to give this technique a try!



Measurements:  

  • Blueberry Bushel: 1/2 sheet, 4" x 5 1/4" (mounting piece); 3 1/4" x 4"
  • Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", scrap
  • Scenic Coast DSP (N): 1 - 6"x 6" sheet
To Make This Card:
  • Look at your "scenic" DSP piece and decide which area you might want to use, first. Note: you could die cut the "focal point" layer first, and use it to check it out. And, then trim this piece to 4" x 5 1/4".
  • Take this DSP piece and cut it into 8 - 1/2" strips. Make sure as you cut you keep them in order!
  • Begin with the farthest LEFT piece and adhere it directly to the Blueberry Bushel "mounting" piece. I would suggest using Multipurpose Glue for these pieces, too.
  • Then, LAY the next into place, for spacing, and adhere the next, third, piece.
  • Continue with "placeholder" and adhered piece until 4 pieces are on your card base.
  • Now, for the OTHER 4 pieces.  These will be popped up! I used the outside edges of my  Dimensional sheet. 
  • Before you line these up and pop them into place, put Multipurpose Glue on top of the adhesive of the Dimensionals to help you slide them into place without them grabbing so fast!  Isn't that neat!
  • I started from the LEFT, again, lined up the pattern, and adhered them into place!
  • Sit back and admire the effect!
  • Now, you can adhere this piece to the folded Blueberry Bushel card base.
  • Next, I die cut the "sailboat" die near to top of the "focal point" layer.  Emboss the sentiment in White below this opening.  Or, if you prefer, you can emboss first, and then die cut the image.
  • I added this to the front of the card.
  • Now, die cut the 3 "seagulls" in White.  Add them wherever you think you need them.
  • Finish the inside with a 1/2" strip cut from the leftovers of your DSP.  I also stamped a sentiment and the 2 little "sailboats" in Blueberry Bushel ink.
  • I didn't add any additional embellishments, the paper is just so gorgeous!
