I have paired some fabulous DSP with an easy Fun Fold to share with you. I have been going through old cards I have saved for inspiration and found this Fun Fold. I thought the DSP I used is perfect for this layout to use the continuing pattern. I hope you like it.

This is the stand up and be seen position. Next is the laying flat to fit in the envelope. The Flower pot was exactly the correct size Die cut. Whew!

Gorgeous DSP

This beautiful DSP is the Vally In Bloom Designer Series Paper. It is part of the Suite which includes the Lily of the Valley stamp set and other products. The sheet I chose to use has the flowers across the bottom and up each side. I cut it so that I could continue the pattern from the top of the card, which turns into the back when open, down to the bottom of the inside. When closed, as in the second photo, you see the top and middle with a peek of the inside. Then in the first photo you see the middle section and the bottom which is where the sentiment / stopper is location.

I began with a piece of the DSP cut to 5 1/4 Wide and 5 1/8 tall. The top and middle sections are cut beginning at the top of the 5 1/8 and are each 1 7/8 X 5 1/4. Then the inside strip is what is left at the bottom. Personally, I love being able to do a continuous picture with DSP. The card base measures 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and is scored on the long side at 2 1/8 and 4 1/4.

Stamps

The flower pot image is from the Life In Bloom stamp set. This set contains some larger sentiments for scrapbooking, but I love it for card making as well. I chose this stamp set because of the blooms in the pot matching the DSP. The colors used for coloring are pulled from the paper as well. The Blackberry Bliss of the pot may be a bit brighter than I expected, but that is ok.

The sentiment is from the Phrases & Frames stamp set. This set has some simply perfect sentiments. And of course the mix of fonts is perfection. The sentiment is stamped using Berry Burst, which actually matched the urn fairly well.

Extras

The Extras today are fairly big ones. LOL!! The Dies used for the sentiment and flowers are from the Nested Essentials Die Set. I love this set. It is a partner to my other favorite Die set in Stylish Shapes. Both of these sets are layering shapes. The vase was an issue being tall and skinny. I felt this shape fit it perfectly. That is the second largest of that Die shape. And the sentiment layer is the smallest one. It is raised using Stampin’ Dimensionals to make the stopper for the Fun Fold to rest against for display

There must always be Bling! These today are real shimmery bling. They are from the Shimmering Dots. I placed one on the sentiment layer and then two around the vase. The color matches the Granny Apple Green and Lemon Lime Twist in the DSP. And it compliments the Pretty Peacock of the card base.
