My card for today has one carryover and one retiring item. My project is a fun fold that I have shown previously. This one uses Blessing of Home and the beautiful Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.
The front of the card is pretty, maybe a little elegant, but not a show stopper. However when you open it you get to see the Fun Fold.
Stamps
Yipee! that the Blessings of Home is carrying over to the upcoming Annual Catalog. This is such a pretty stamp set. And as you can see from the second photo, not only do you get the gorgeous flower but a great sentiment as well. The sentiment is so sweet and would work for a couple of different occasions. Hopefully you noticed the flower on the bottom of the right hand fold. I simply stamped the larger flower with only the top section covering the paper. It makes a cute and easy to do addition.
Paper
Speaking of the gorgeous flower, it is hard for me to explain other than I only see it as I have used it. And that is Softly colored. I cannot envision that flower boldly colored. So with that in mind, I looked for softer paper to pair with it. The Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper came to the rescue. On the inside of the card you can see the pastel background with softer pansies spread around. To pair with that piece, I went with the bolder, but still soft, striped piece on the front. And of course the card base came from that piece as well.
Directions
This fun fold was posted a few weeks ago. You can see this card by clicking HERE. One of my reasons for using this flower is to show how well different shapes work with this technique. The only consideration is that your die cut have a bit of width to it. As you can see from the open view, the die cut is only adhered to the inside folded section on half. So it needs to have a bit to glue down so it is secure.
