Today is Free Shipping!!! I will probably have already placed my order by the time you are reading this. Free Shipping can save enough for an extra pack of DSP.
Today’s card is a Fun Fold featuring the Blueberry Bunches stamp set. This set carried over and I love it. It is an easy set to work with and to color.
Stamp Set
The Blueberry Bunches set contains two different bunches of blueberries. This is the smaller bunch. The other also has a stem attached. I wanted this one to go across the front of the card, so opted for the smaller ones. The berries are stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with Stampin’ Blends. I used Boho Blue, Balmy Blue and Night of Navy on the berries. And Granny Apple Green was used for the leaves. The inside sentiment is also from the set. I think it is just right on the “sweetness” level!
Papers
The beautiful tile DSP is from the Mediterranean Blooms Designer Series Paper. Each of the sheets has citrus plants on one side and different blue tiles on the other. I chose to go with the blue tiles for today. The card base is Night of Navy. For the inside card, I used a Basic White half card that I cut down just a little. At the 4″ wide it made the card to “full” and difficult to keep closed. You can see from the second view that I edged it over to the right more than the left. This keeps the closed borders equal.
Finishes
There is no sentiment on the front of this card. I was being a little different. But it needed a bit of something extra. So I added a bow wrapped around the blueberry layer made with the Iridescent Striped Trim. This is a great ribbon to work with and adds shine! For the final touch my Bling is blue to match the card. These are from the new Opal Rounds.
Measurements
The card base is 6 1/4 X 5 1/2, scored at 2″ on the 6 1/4″ side. For the inside card the Basic White is cut to 3 3/4 X 11 and folded at 5 1/4. It is placed towards the outer edge to keep the borders even with the card closed. The front DSP is 1 3/4 X 5 1/4. I totally covered the inside White card so the DSP is cut 3 3/4 X 5 1/4. I failed to measure the White on the blueberries. But the Night of Navy base is 4 7/8 in width. It goes from the DSP on the flap to the right edge DSP. The height can be adjusted to fit your choice of focal image.
