Another fun fold thanks to Rachel Tessman’s Facebook Live today. 

Products needed to make this card can be found on my Online Store

                                          

Measurements:

• 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” cardstock for card base
• Cut two white cardstock panels 1 5/8” x 5 3/8”; one rectangle for card front panel smaller than patterned paper panel
• Patterned paper for front panel rectangle cut slightly larger than the white panel.
• Cardstock scraps for stamping and die cutting flowers and leaves

Directions:

• Score card base at 4” from both sides. Then score card base at 2 1/8” from both sides. See the second image above. Trim 1/4” plus a little bit from each end. That will allow the side panels to fold in under the card front panel.
• Stamp and decorate the inside white cardstock panels and adhere them to the inside panels of the card as in the third image above.
• Measure or die cut a white panel (used the second largest die from Radiating Stitches die on this card).  Stamp flowers on white cardstock scrap. Then die cut or punch them out and add to this panel. Attach this panel to the patterned paper rectangle.
• Attached the finished front card panel to the middle (the scored 1/2” panel) of the card base with dimensionals. Then fold the outside panels in under the front card panel. See last image above.
• Stamp envelope if desired.

SU’s Like An Animal DSP

I had a hard time trying to come up with a card layout for SU’s Like An Animal DSP. I loved the designs in this DSP, so of course I had to  purchase it. Also, SU’s doesn’t have any silver foil that is current. So I used silver embossing powder for the sentiment. Another technique is to use SU’s blending brushes and ink with the DSP. An idea for a card later!!

The products needed to make this card can be found in my Online Store

Measurements:

• 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” cardstock for the base (I used SU’s Basic Gray but Smoky Slate would work, too.
• 3 3/4” x 5” cardstock for the second layer-same color as the base; scrap for sentiment
• 3/4” strips of DSP; 2 1/2” x 6” DSP for envelope

Directions:

• Score the base at 4 1/4” and fold on the score line.
• Apply 3/4” strips to the second layer of cardstock starting with the first strip at the very top.
• Adhere this layer using dimensionals to the card front.
• Stamp sentiment with VersaMark and heat emboss with silver embossing powder. Die cut the sentiment. Carefully run the edges along the VersMark pad and heat emboss with silver embossing powder. Adhere to card front with dimensionals.
• Adhere the DSP panel to the envelope flap and trim.

SU’s Irresistible Blooms Bundle and Hello, Irresistible DSP

Was lucky to have some Pretty Peacock cardstock and ink pad that was an incolor with SU about 4 years ago. One of my favorite colors!! Rumor says Pretty Peacock is coming back this spring with SU’s color refresh. Makes me happy. Pretty Peacock and Lost Lagoon are used in SU’s Hello, Irresistible DSP. Lost Lagoon is from 9 years ago! Pretty Peacock was used on this card. Pretty Peacock cardstock and ink pad will be available in the new SU Annual Catalog due to come to in May.

Products (except for Pretty Peacock cardstock and ink pad) can be found in my Online Store

Measurements:

• 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” cardstock for base; 3” square cardstock and scraps for flowers and leaves
• Cut two @ 1 7/8” x 5 1/4” DSP; 2 3/4” square DSP; 2 1/2” x 6” DSP for envelope flap
• Cut three 2 1/2” squares of white cardstock to make the slide.
• 2 1/4” square white cardstock and 4” x 5 1/4” white cardstock for inside

Directions:

• Score cardstock for base at 2 1/8”. Fold on score line and burnish with bone folder. Fold opposite side in to meet in the middle and burnish with bone folder. This works better than scoring the opposite side.
• Fold two of the 2 1/2” squares of cardstock in half. Lay them and adhere the squares to the remaining 2 1/2” square with the folds meeting in the center. 
• On the other side glue the 3” square of cardstock. That forms the mechanism for the slide. If you need more help, just search for  Slide and Lock Cards on Pinterest.
• Adhere the 2 3/4” square of DSP to the cardstock square on the slide.
• Stamp sentiment and add stamped images or die cuts to the 2 1/4” white cardstock square. Add embellishments. Adhere to form a diamond shape. 
• Adhere the 4” x 5 1/4” white panel to the inside of card.
• Add the slide to the card front panels.
• Adhere the DSP panel to the envelope flap and trim.

Gatefold Latch Card 

SU’s Season of Chic Bundle and By the Bay DSP

I did not purchase SU’s Seaside Bay stamp set, but I loved the By The Bay DSP with its gold and pearl foil!! The sea shell stamp and die from SU’s Season of Chic Bundle makes the perfect latch for this thank you card. 

Products needed to make this card can be found in my Online Store

Measurements:

• 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” cardstock for the card base
• Cut two panels of DSP 1 3/4” x 5 1/8”

• White cardstock scraps for label and latch

Directions:

• Score the card base at 2 1/8” on one side. Fold and burnish with a bone folder.  Fold the opposite to meet in the middle and burnish with a bone folder. This works better than scoring the opposite side and folding to meet in the middle.
• Adhere the two DSP panels to the two cardstock panels. Adhere these to the panels on the card front.
• Stamp the shell and die cut it out. This is the latch for the gatefold. Adhere to the right side of the card front with dimensionals leaving the top of the latch free so the label will slide under it to keep the fold closed.
• Stamp the label with a sentiment.
• Adhere label to the left side of the card so that it can slide under the latch.
