Well it's been a while but I'm happy to join in this Retiring Products Blog Hop today! This retiring products BLOG HOP features soon to be gone stamp sets, colors and accessories. The project I am featuring was one that we made in April's monthly classes.
This is actually an easy and quick fun fold:
To create the base of this card start with an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of Elegant Eggplant cardstock. Score it in half both directions (portrait position at 4 1/4" and landscape position at 5 1/2"). Then cut the page diagonally from one point to the other crossing the center scoring marks, you now have 2 card bases. Fold on the score lines and your card base is ready to be embellished! Use 2 - 4" x 5 1/4" layers of Whisper White, one for the inside panel and the other is cut diagonally to fit on the outside panels. Next using the Flower Shop stamp set we stamped 2 flowers in Elegant Eggplant and 3 flowers using Sweet Sugarplum and punched them out with the Pansy Punch. Arrange the punched flowers onto the front of the card so they just about interlock. I found it was easiest to place a dimensional on the card front and then place the flower on the dimensional so I didn't adhere the card closed. Any sentiment would work for this card, we decided to make it a birthday card and used the non-retiring Perennial Birthday stamp set and stamped it with Elegant Eggplant ink.
I hope you are enjoying the fantastic projects all the demonstrators from around the world offer in this blog hop. Thank you for visiting today!
