Awesome 3D Tulip Funky Fun Fold

I somehow missed this card! This was my original Funky Fold card!! So, here it is!! We are doing this card in my classes this week!

This amazing layout is has a rather simple, surprising way to open! Thanks, once again, to my Minnesota friend, Terri Gaines for this fold and inspiration! It uses the interesting 3D Tulip Dies and the gorgeous Tulip Fields DSP! You could make this in so many fun color combinations!

Measurements:

Basic White: 5 1/2" x 7", 2 pcs @ 2 1/2" x 3 1/4", 1/4 sheet (card support)
Poppy Parade: 2 3/4" x 5 1/2", 2 pcs @ 2 3/4" x 3 1/2", scraps
Calypso Coral: 2 5/8" x 3 5/8" (optional), scrap (tulip)
Pear Pizzazz: scraps
Flowering Fields DSP (N): 1 1/4" x 5 1/2"

To Make This Card:

Score White base at 1 3/8" from each side. Crease well.
Run this folded card base through Timber 3D Embossing Folder. (I, then, added a quarter sheet to the back.)
Next, attach the DSP piece to the center of the larger Poppy Parade piece.
Now, place it inside the card base, so that the 2 outside flaps overlap, equally (about 1/8") onto the Poppy Parade piece. Attach this JUST to the LEFT side of your card. Set the card base aside.
Next, we'll work on the 2 other layered pieces. Take one White piece and attach to a Poppy Parade rectangle. (This will go inside.) Set this aside.
Run the other White piece through the 3D Timber Embossing Folder. Then attach this piece, if desired, to the Calypso Coral layer (if using this optional layer, you could cut the one Tulip piece from this as it will be sandwiched in between rectangles), and then to the other Poppy Parade rectangle. Set this aside, too.
Now, to make the 3D Tulip! You will need to cut 1 3-petal looking tulip from Poppy Parade as well as one single (there are 3 of this same petal in the Die Set). Then you will need a contrasting 2 petal piece.
Crease the 3 petal piece. Place a Dimensional on the 2 petal piece near the inside bottom. Curve this a little with your bone folder, if desired. Now attach this to the center of the 3 petals. Finish with the single petal on top. I used a Dimensional on this one, too.
Now, cut 2 different "leaves" and a "stem" from Pear Pizzazz. Place the "stem" directly onto the rectangle with the embossing. Add the "leaves" with a Dimensional and then add the flower as well, flat.
Center this piece on front of card. Attach to the RIGHT flap.
For placement of the inside piece, place behind the corresponding front piece and attach.

Flowering Tulip Mounted Double Gate Fold

We haven't done one of these Fun Folds since the holidays, so I thought it was about time to revisit it!! I'm really pleased with this "Becky Original"!! I just LOVE the Flowering Fields DSP - you don't even need the dies or stamp set! (Althought the sentiment is from the coordinating stamps - Flowering Tulips.)

Measurements:

Pear Pizzazz: 4 1/4" x 11" (1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE), 1/4 piece
Flowering Fields DSP (N): 2 pcs @ 7/8" x 4" (green), 2 pcs @ 1 3/4" x 4" (tulips) - these are the flip sides. scrap of Pumpkin Pie print
Basic White: 3 1/4" x 4" (inside), scrap
Pumpkin Pie: 2 1/4" square

To Make this Card:

Score long sheet at 2" - 3 3/4" - 7 1/4" - 9". Crease well with Bone Folder creating a Double Gate Fold.
Mount 2 narrow DSP pieces on either side of 1/4 piece.
Place Tear Tape onto back of Double Gate Fold piece. Attach to base between DSP pieces.
Add White piece to the inside.
Attach DSP pieces to outside.
Run the Pumpkin Pie square through the Stitched with Whimsy die that fits.
Stamp sentiment in Memento Black and cut out with 2nd smallest Stitched So Sweetly die. Mount this onto the Pumpkin Pie square with Dimensionals, on point, as shown.
Now, mount left half of this square to left side of card.
Take 5" of Pale Papaya Open Weave Ribbon and color with Lt Pumpkin Pie Blend. Neat, huh! It helps to start with a close color and enrich the color. Add to card as shown with Mini Glue Dot.
Next, stamp inside sentiment in black. Cut a "tulip border" from Pumpkin Pie scrap of DSP. Add to inside of card.
Finish with Iridescent Rhinestones.

Blended Marble Tulips

I just LOVE these 3D tulips!! Pick your favorite background DSP, find a coordinating DSP for the flowers (in this case I blended in some extra color to coordinate), and you have an instant beautiful card! Oh, and don't forget those darling Brushed Brass Butterflies.

Measurements:

Rich Razzleberry: 1/2 sheet
Flowering Fields DSP: 4" x 5 1/4" (purple tulips)
Simply Marbleous: 1/2 sheet (3" x 6") - Highland Heather
Basic White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", 1/4 sheet (inside)

To Make This Card:

Attach DSP to folded Rich Razzleberry card.
Cut 2nd largest stitched scalloped rectangle from Basic White.
To make the Highland Heather Marble Paper a little more DSP "friendly", I added some Rich Razzleberry ink color to the DSP with a Blending Brush. I love the colorations this creates!
To make the 3 different tulips, you will need one each of the "folded" bases. There are 3 of these, 2 full tulips and a bud. You will need 2 of the "V" shape insert, and 3 of the small oval inserts (there are 3 of these dies!) So each flower has 3 pieces and those 3 pieces are different for each flower. (See the chart above)
Fold each flower "base" along score lines. Attach together with Mini Glue Dots.
The "bud" has a "ruffled" top. It only has one small oval insert. Place this inside, then set aside.
For the other 2, full tulips, attach together with Mini Glue Dots. Then, insert the "V" piece, then lastly the small oval. I attached these, also with MIni Glue Dots, but you could also use Multipurpose Glue or Dimensionals. Note: You might want to shape the edges of these petals with a Bone Folder.
Arrange the flowers on top of the White rectangle, as desired. Mark base with a pencil.
Next, remove the flowers and stamp 3 "stems" in Soft Succulent, then add "leaves" where desired.
Now, attach tulips. Attach this White piece to card front with Dimensionals.
Cut the largest stitched rectangle from 1/4 sheet of white. Place inside card. Add a sentiment in Soft Succulent ink.
Finish with a Fresh Freesia bow, and a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies.

Party Hearty Otter #2

I loved the results of my last Party Otter card so much, I decided to try another version! This one still uses the cheerful Sunshine & Rainbows DSP that is free with a qualifying $50 SAB order, but this time I used the rectangles from the Picture This Dies! I also still used the stitched circles from the Give It a Whirl dies! Add a little ribbon, and wahlah, you have a same, but different card!!

Measurements:

Pool Party: 1/2 sheet, 2 1/4" square
Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4", 2" square, scrap
Sunshine & Rainbows DSP (SAB) (N): 3 3/4" x 4 3/4" (stripe)

To Make This Card:

Cut rectangle "Picture This" die from both the DSP and White papers. Set the rectangle pieces aside,as well as the DSP "frame".
Insert the DSP pieces into the White frame, flipping over the center one, to use the pattern on the other side. Tape into place with Scotch Tape.
Wrap ribbon around this piece and tie bow so it ends up on the left side.
Mount this piece onto folded Pool Party Card with Dimensionals.
Cut 2 stitched scalloped circles from die Give It a Whirl dies, one in White and one in Pool Party. Discard the Pool Party circle, and the White scalloped circle, the remaining 2 pieces will make one complete stitched, scalloped circle!
Stamp "otter" onto White circle. Color in with Blends as shown. Insert into stitched scallop circle. I scotch taped it to the back, creating one piece.
Mount onto card with Dimensionals.
Stamp "party hat" onto scrap of white, color with Blends as shown and fussy cut. Add to "otter".
