Good morning, y’all – welcome to another edition of the Amy’s Inkin’ Krew Team blog hop! Each month we make projects centered around a theme – and this month our theme is Fun Folds! Be sure to check out everyone’s projects – we’ve got a bunch of talented ladies hopping with us this month!
I played with an easy fun fold this week – it’s kind of a cool Front-Flap Fold – and I decorated it with Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP and…a wreath from the Flowering Meadow bundle. Take a look-see:
I started with a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Cloud Cover cardstock. I scored it at 4 1/4″ and then put the short end of the “front” panel at 1 3/8″ in my Paper Trimmer. I cut down to the 4 1/4″ score line.
I turned the card base, putting the long side at the top…
…cut off the strip.
I scored the short strip at 3/8″ and folded it – this is the front flap.
Using Liquid Glue on the 3/8″ “tab” of the strip, I adhered it to the top of the card base – centered on the back panel.
I used Liquid Glue to adhere a 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP to the back panel.
On a piece of 4″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped a Flowering Meadow sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink. In the corner, I stamped a stem and a leaf in Peaceful Pine ink and the flower image in Bubble Bath ink. I stamped the three-flower-center image in Daffodil Delight ink.
In the corner of a second 4″ x 4 1/8″ piece of Basic White cardstock, I stamped the Flowering Meadow leaf twice in Peaceful Pine ink. I adhered both panel to the inside of the card base with Liquid Glue.
For the front, I adhered a 1 1/4″ x 3 5/8″ piece of Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP to the front flap using Liquid Glue.
I adhered a 4″ x 4 1/8″ piece of the Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP to the front panel of the card base.
I used the largest Stylish Shapes circle die to cut out a Basic White circle – this will be the base for the wreath on the front.
I used the leaf die in the Flowering Meadow die set to cut out some leaves:
– four from the dark side of a piece of Peaceful Pine Two-tone Cardstock
– four from the light side of the Peaceful Pine Two-tone Cardstock
– four from Peaceful Pine 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Paper
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the leaves (12 in all) around the edge of the die cut circle.
On a piece of Basic White, I stamped the Flowering Meadow leaf five times in Peaceful Pine ink and cut them out with the coordinating die.
I added them into the wreath, adhering them with Liquid Glue.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhered the wreath to the front flap – centering it on the card base.
I cut out five small flowers from Daffodil Delight, Bubble Bath and white Velveteen Assortment Specialty Paper – for a total of 15 little flowers!
I also cut out two larger flowers – from Berry Burst cardstock – and the flower centers from Daffodil Delight cardstock. I adhered the centers to the flowers with Liquid Glue.
I adhered the two large flowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I tied a small Linen Thread bow and adhered it with a Glue Dot.
On a piece of Cloud Cover cardstock, I stamped a Flowering Meadow sentiment in Peaceful Pine ink and cut it out with the Three Banner Punch.
I adhered the sentiment to the wreath – using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Finally – I added all the little flowers with Liquid Glue – and gave each of them a tiny Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewel and…the card was done!
My Basic White Medium Envelope got the Flowering Meadow flowers and leaf on the front…
…and a little more Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP on the envelope flap!
Et Voila! Well – I remember why I love this Flowering Meadow bundle – those leaf dies are as cool and pretty as can be! With the addition of pretty sentiments and a bunch of lovely stamped flowers – it’s an English cottage garden wherever you want it! The Velvet Meadow Specialty DSP (which is expected back in stock around the beginning of August) is beautiful – with its colors and pretty flocking!! And this front-flap fun fold is fun AND easy, don’t you think!?
I hope you like!
