Tulips Tiles

Instead of a Fun Fold I have a bit of layering to share with you. Using the Tulip Fields and Flowering Fields was such fun.

Paper

I believe this gorgeous Tulip paper, the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper, is the star of this card. It is simply rows of beautiful color. Of course all of the other papers were chosen from this DSP piece. The card base is Highland Heather, with the embossed layer behind the flowers being Pear Pizzaz. To help the flowers pop a bit more I went with Rich Razzleberry for the trio of layers. And to finish the layering I chose a piece of Highland Heather to serve as background for the windmill. Paper that contains a variety of colors is so wonderful to work with!

Stamps and Dies

Matching the Tulip DSP is the Tulip Fields Bundle. This great bundle would work even without the paper. But is awesome together with it. I only stamped the windmill for the front of the card to allow the paper to star. The windmill is stamped using Soft Suede and then simply highlighted with Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blends. And it is die cut using the matching die. This is a quick card to make.

Punches and Embossing

To create the fun Pear Pizzaz layer, as well as the Highland Heather layer, I used the Parisian Flourish Embossing Folder. And to speed things up, I punched the Highland Heather layer behind the windmill early on. When it came to using the embossing folder, I simply tucked the punched piece into the center on top of the Pear Pizzaz cardstock. Both embossed perfectly and it only took one time through the machine!

Measurments

The layers on the front of the card using the DSP can be arranged in your preference of order. I debated between having them even across the top and bottom. Or to be staggered as I ended up doing. And the center panel is raised where the outside two are adhered directly to the card.

To make the layers easy to do, I cut a piece of the DSP to 3 1/2 X 4 1/2. It is then cut at 1, 1 1/2, and 1. By doing this way, the panels of flowers are still in the pattern. It would not matter if your DSP was simpler. The layers behind the panels are two at 1 1/8 X 4 5/8 and one at 1 5/8 X 4 5/8.
