Tri-Fold Sunflower

My Fun Fold today is another find in my craft room. This fold was one I had done many years ago. So now it is new again! I called it a Tri-Fold. Although I am sure it had a better name at one time.

I adore this Celebrate Sunflower stamp set. I have used it many times. And since I love coloring, as you can tell if you follow me, It is perfect for coloring. I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends and will have all of them listed in the Supply List. But I stamped the flower using Early Espresso Ink and colored the petals with Mango Melody. The highlights are Calypso Coral.

I feel like I sometimes use too much Designer Series Paper. And then I think there is no such thing!! Before I got so attached to the DSP, I previously used a lot of different Embossing Folders for my backgrounds. For this card, I decided to go with the embossing. This is one of the two folders in the Wrapped In Texture Embossing bundle. They are both wonderful, but I thought the little dots went with the center of the sunflower. Note: These embossing folders are the narrower ones and will work in the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine when it becomes available.

Here is a look at the inside and how it opens.

As you can see, I stamped the sunflower on the inside as well. This time I used Crumb Cake and then stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso. All of the stamps are from the Celebrate Sunflower set. The only difficult thing about this card, Is remembering to only add adhesive to half of the back of your focal layers! It only attaches to one side. Ask me how I know this !!!!!!! 🙂

base of Crumb Cake is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 2, 3 3/4, 7 1/4, 9
Fold and burnish all score lines and then fold into mountains on each side of the square center.
