Hi Everyone,
The theme this month is 'CASE a Demonstrator'. I've chosen a really fun design from Susan Campfield (USA) who made some amazing examples of this card over on her blog (links below). It seems to have taken the paper crafting world by storm and I have seen several versions of it now including a slightly tweaked version from Kylie Bertucci (Australia, links below). I've incorporated Kylie's tweak into my version but also changed the measurements ever so slightly for UK card stock. I do hope you like it, click on the link below to see my video tutorial:
Materials
3 pieces night of navy card stock 4 1/8" x 8 1/4"
4 pieces of dsp 2" x 3 7/8", 2 pieces 1 1/2" x 3 7/8", 1 piece 3 7/8" square
Scrap of white for stamping and sentiment
Balmy blue ink
Night of navy ink
Charming Sentiment stamp set
Sentiment Silhouettes dies
Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
Iridescent Rhinestones
Petal Park Punch
Trimmer
Simply Scored
Multipurpose adhesive
Dimensionals
Instructions
On the long side, score 2 of the navy pieces at 2 1/4", 4", and 6 1/4" , fold and burnish from the 2 1/4" end as mountain, valley, valley folds.
Add dsp layers to the sections as shown in the pictures
With the last valley fold on each piece still folded, butt them together as the centre of the card and add some sticky tape across the join just to keep them together. Then add the remaining piece of navy card which has been folded and burnished on the 4 1/8" mark to make it a tent fold card. Make sure that you line it up centrally so that the flaps on either side will fold over it.
Add the remaining dsp layer to this card front.
Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and also three sets of flowers. Remember it's two step stamping so stamp the outline first in navy and then infill with the balmy blue. Punch out the flowers and die cut the sentiment.
Stamp another sentiment on the remaining white piece and adhere to the inside of the card.
Arrange the sentiment using dimensionals on the card front and then add the flowers in and around it. I've also added a couple of small flowers on the inside.
Add rhinestones to the flower centres and the card is complete.
