I'm excited to show you some of the new products from the 2019-2020 Annual Catalogue from Stampin'Up!. I love a fancy fold card and this shape was inspired by one I had seen by Terri Gaines in the US, but the end result is my own design. I hope that you like it and will give it a try.
Materials
1 piece of pretty peacock cardstock 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
1 piece of pretty peacock cardstock 8 1/2" x 2 3/4" scored at 4 1/4"
1 piece of pretty peacock cardstock measuring at least 3 1/2" x 2" for the stitched rectangle
1 piece of whisper white cardstock 5 1/4" x 4"
1 piece of whisper white cardstock 4" x 2 1/2"
Scraps of whisper white for the flowers
Scraps of silver foil for the leaves
1 piece of perennial essence dsp 3 7/8" x 2 5/8"
Tufted 3D embossing folder
Dimensionals
Multipurpose adhesive
Stitched rectangle dies
Leaf punch
Perennial flower punch
Die cut machine
Instructions
Take the 5 1/4" x 4" piece of whisper white through the die cutting machine in the Tufted 3D embossing folder, then adhere it to the piece of pretty peacock cardstock 5 1/2" x 4 1/4"
Score the pretty peacock cardstock 8 1/2" x 2 3/4" at 4 1/4", stamp a sentiment to the small piece of whisper white and adhere to the inside (remember this has to be portrait as it will open like a tent fold on the front of the card, see picture). Glue the dsp to the front of this piece and then adhere to the piece with the embossing (I have placed it 3/4" from the left hand side).
Cut out the stitched rectangle with the remaining piece of pretty peacock cardstock.
Stamp four of the three petal images from the Floral Essence stamp set using pretty peacock ink and then punch them out with the Perennial Flower Punch. Punch out three sets of leaves with the Leaf Punch. Lay one set of petals on top of another to make a flower and glue them together, curl the petals with a bone folder to give them some dimension. Arrange them on the stitched rectangle, adhere with dimensionals and then glue the leaves in place around the flowers as you like.
Adhere this panel to the flap on the card centrally with more dimensionals.
This card does use a lot of equipment but you can easily fussy cut the flowers and some leaves instead of punching them out and the stitched rectangle could cut be cut with a trimmer or punched out with circle punches instead, there are endless variations that you could try.
Good luck, I would love to see pictures of your version.
Happy stamping,
Karen XX
