The card I have for you today is a quick and easy one that just happens to be considered a Fun Fold. At least I call it that. But simple, quick, and one that can be designed for any occasion is always a good thing to me.
And here is the open view
PAPERS
The DSP is the star of this card. Actually it is almost half of the card. This layout is a great way to showcase both sides of a DSP. Or if necessary you could adhere two different pieces together for the front. I opted to allow the black and white stripe to be the surprise. Plus I added a little strip to the signature layer to continue with the DSP. The DSP is the Lovely Garden Designer Series Paper from the On Line Exclusives.
To match the florals on the front, I used the new In Color Darling Duckling as the card base. And on this card, the base is seen quite a bit. The card base is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 and scored on one side at 4 1/4. This leaves a 1 1/4 fold over. As you can see from the first photo, I used a separate pieces of the DSP to serve as the book bind. I really do love that checked green!
The floral DSP piece is 4 X 5 1/4. To adhere it properly, simply lay the card as you would if it were open. Then lay the DSP piece and center it on the inside section with even borders. Now add adhesive to the left edge (mindful of the width of that front little flap). Then just close the flap and you have a full card!
STAMPS
The fun stamp set is the Mixed Labels set. The sentiments are so sweet and a wonderful way to let our friends, or anyone, know how much we appreciate them. The flower is a simple one from the Lifetime Of Love stamp set. It reminded me of the flowers on the DSP and I wanted a simple focal layer.
The flower and sentiments are stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. This ink is back in stock after being away for what seems like forever! Woohoo!! The flower is colored using Stampin’ Blends in Darling Duckling and Granny Apple Green.
EXTRAS
There are two Extras today. First is the awesome Brushed Brass Butterfly. These have carried over to the Online Exclusives. I am just thrilled they carried over. They are a simple, and flat, bling for any flower image. And the final is something that I thought was still available, but I was wrong. That is so sad. I used the Daffodil Delight 1/8″ Satin Ribbon for the little bow. Sorry about that. But any color of ribbon from the DSP colors would work.
