Dainty Flowers Accordion Fold Card

Hi Everyone,

Today I have been playing with the Dainty Flowers designer series papers and wanted to make the most of them so thought I would make an Accordion Fold card for my Sister's birthday. The Dainty Flowers dsp is FREE with a £45 purchase from any of the catalogues during Saleabration 2023.

Materials

1 piece of mossy meadow card stock 6" x 11 3/4" (full length of A4), 1 piece 6" x 11"

1 piece of basic white 5 " x 3 ", scrap for the sentiment

1 piece of dsp 5 3/4" x 3 5/8", 2 pieces 5 3/4" x 3 1/4", 2 pieces 5 3/4" x 2 3/4", 2 pieces 5 3/4" x 2 1/4"

Wildflower Path stamp set

Mossy Meadow ink

Fresh Freesia ink

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Stylish Shapes dies

Brushed Brass Butterflies

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Take Your Pick Tool

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

Put the longest piece of card stock onto the simply scored and score at 3/4", 4 1/4" and 7 3/4".

Put the other piece in and score at 2 1/2", 5" and 8".

Fold and burnish all the score lines.

Attach the two pieces of card stock together with the 3/4" tab on the underneath and the smallest folds to the front and the larger ones to the back. Refold the score lines to make sure that they now fall into the accordion fold.

I used the Dainty Flowers dsp and wanted to show off lots of different patterns. Adhere all the dsp layers down.

I stamped some flowers from the Wildflower Path on the remaining piece of basic white and added to the end panel to write my message.

Stamp the sentiment on a scrap of white and die cut using the banner from the Stylish Shapes dies and adhere this across the front panel using dimensionals.

Add some butterflies and the card is complete, I do hope that you like it and will give it a try.

Wonderful World Inside Block Fold Card - Fun Fold Friday

Hi Everyone,

Today's Fun Fold Friday is one that I have made a couple of times before but I really like it for showing off pretty designer series papers. This time I have used the Wonderful World bundle which is one of the FREE Sale-a-Bration offerings and teamed it with a sentiment from Wildflower Path.

Materials

1 piece of orchid oasis card stock 5 7/8" x 10", 1 piece 2" x 4 1/4"
1 piece of dsp 2 7/8" x 5 3/4", 1 piece 1 1/4" x 5 3/4", 1 piece 2 1/4" x 5 3/4", 6 pieces 1 3/8" x 1 1/8"
1 piece of basic white 2 1/4" x 5 3/4", 1 piece 2 1/4" x 4 1/8"

Wonderful World stamp set

Orchid Oasis ink

Wildflower Path stamp set

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Paper snips

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Bone folder

Iridescent rhinestones

Brushed Brass Butterflies

Instructions

On the long side, score the largest piece of card stock at 3", 4 1/2", 6" and 7 1/2".

Fold on the 6" score only and put the fold to the top of the scoreboard with the 7 1/2" score visible on the top and make pencil marks at: 3/4", 2", 2 1/2", 3 3/4", 4 1/4" and 5 1/2".

Fold on the 7 1/2" score and put the shorter end underneath so you can see the pencil marks that you made along the 6" score line. Mark with a pencil at: 1/2", 1 3/4", 2 1/4", 3 1/2", 4" and 5 1/4".

Open out and join the pencil marks together with a ruler, this will make the marks for you to cut to make the blocks.

Fold again on the 6" scoreline and cut up the pencil marks to the 7 1/2" score.

Flip over and fold and burnish from the 3" (mountain), 4 1/2" (valley), 6" (mountain). With the block sections, the larger ones need to pop out and the thinner ones to go back, this forms like a square section in the card (see picture).

Now decorate all the different sections, lay down the dsp making sure that you leave a small border all the way around each piece.

Stamp the flower and the sentiment on the basic white mat and then add this to the orchid oasis piece.

Add to the card front using dimensionals.

Add the remaining basic white section to the back of the card to write your message.

I hope that you give this a try, its much easier than it looks.

Wildflower Path Pen Gift Box - 3D Thursday

Hi Everyone,

This week I've made a gift box for a pen using the Wildflower Path stamp set and Tahitian Tide ink and card stock. These make great little gifts for teachers, customers, team members and as swaps for team events. Let me show you how I made it, there are two versions, I made the prototype with card stock and dsp and this one I have stamped, you choose which you like best when you make your version.

Materials

1 piece of card stock 3" x 8"

4 pieces of dsp 5 7/8" x 1/2" (if making the dsp version)

Tahitian tide ink

Wildflower Path stamp set

Tahitian Tide ribbon

Scrap of basic white card

Double Oval Punch

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Paper Snips

Mini Glue Dots

Instructions

If you are making the stamped version, stamp your images all over the card stock before scoring.

On the short side, score at 5/8", 1 1/4", 1 7/8" and 2 1/2", then turn to the long side and score at 5/8" at one end, turn round to the other end and score at 5/8" and 1 1/4".

Cut up the score lines as in the template shown and then fold and burnish all the score lines.

If you are making the dsp version, add the dsp before you make up the box, it will be easier.

Add glue to the long tab and fold the other long side over to make up the box. Fold in the tabs at the bottom and glue in place. Fold in the tabs at the top and then slide the front tab in to close the top of the box.

Stamp a sentiment on the scrap of white card and punch out with the oval punch, punch a hole for the ribbon to go through. Thread the ribbon through the hole and then tie it around the box, finishing with a bow. I've added a mini glue dot to keep it in place.
