Floral Charm DSP – Independent Stampin Up!® Demonstrator, Victoria, Australia

This handmade fun fold card features the Charming Day Bundle and the Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is the normal card base size (21cm x 14.8cm or 8¼” x 5-7/8″) in Old Olive, but just scored differently for a fun Gatefold design. I scored mine at 7.5cm & 18cm (3″ & 7-1/8″). The feature panel on the front is 8cm x 9.5cm (3-1/8″ x 3-5/8″) and the Basic White is 7.5cm x 9cm (3″ x 3-1/4″).

Here is a closeup of the gorgeous roses and the dry embossing with the Gathering Leaves Embossing Folder. The flowers sre stsmped in Pecan Pie ink and Blends Combo Markers are Timid Tiger, Peach Pie, Mossy Meadow and Old Olive.

Some Brushed Brass Butterflies and one of the sentiments from the Greetings For You Mix &
Match Ephemera Pack were added.

On the inside, I always add another stamped image as well as on the envelope!

Week 22 – Fresh Freesia

This handmade card features the Charming Day stamp set, coordinating dies and Floral Charm Designer Series Paper (DSP).

A LITTLE ‘WHY’ ABOUT THIS CARD
I adore this style of card, however I’m not naturally able to come up with it myself, so I need to thank Kim McGillis who I cased the idea from. I was very happy with the result and adore this colour combination of Fresh Freesia, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie.

How you can re-create this card

1. Create the base – a Pecan Pie card base, 21cm x 14.5cm, scored @ 10.5cm.

2. Stamp and colour – the card base is stamped with the floral image in Pecan Pie ink for a beautiful tone-on-tone look. Two more images are stamped onto Basic White card and die cut with the coordinating die. These are coloured with Water Painters and inks; Fresh Freesia and Crumb Cake. The sentiment is stamped onto Basic White card and flagged at either end with Paper Snips to create a banner.

3. Layering – Some Fresh Freesia cardstock [12.5cm x 8.5cm] is ruffed up around the edges with Paper Snips and the corners folded slightly for that rustic look. A piece of the patterned paper, the same size is added on the angle. A Basic White die cut [Traditional Labels dies] has some ink blending with Fresh Freesia ink. I used the Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Write Marker to flick some splatter onto the label. Sitting the sentiment in place, I was able to add the floral images so they partially sit behind. I die cut some of the leaves in Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie card and placed them behind the floral images and the label.

4. Add the sentiment – added on Dimensionals and then I used my Pecan Pie Stampin’ Write Marker to splatter some ink across the sentiment and floral images.

5. Finishing touches – a double bow of Linen Thread is added on a Glue Dot and some Starburst Sequins added. On the inside, a simple Basic White insert with a stamped image and this same treatment was added to the envelope!
