Petunia Pop: Beach Boardwalk Carnival

Welcome to the Colour Creations Instahop. You can follow us on Instagram starting  @craftwithkate. Each week we will showcase the Stampin’ Up! colours in alphabetical order.

Week 39 – Petunia Pop

This handmade card features Beach Boardwalk Designer Series Paper (DSP) in a fun fold design.

The card base 21cm x 14.5cm is scored at 4cm & 14.5cm. Cut the DSP to 9.5cm x 14cm, then cut the left side at 4cm and adhere this to the left panel and the other to the right so the pattern is continuous.

The feature panel is 8cm x 9cm with the ferris wheel cut from one of the sheets of the DSP 7.5cm x 8.5cm. Add adhesive only to the left side and place onto the centre of the closed card. Each of the little carriages has Wink of Stella on them for some sparkle.

Another piece of DSP 6cm x 14cm is adhered inside and some White card 10cm x 14cm for your message. The ticket is cut from the DSP and stamped with the sentiment [Simply Said stanp set] in Petunia Pop ink. I added more of the DSP to the flap of the envelope, because you cannot send a beautiful handmade card in a naked envelope!

Thanks for dropping by. I hope you join me next week for Pool Party inspiration.

How did I make it?

  1. Begin with a sheet of Garden Green cardstock cut to 29.7cm x 10.5cm, score @ 14.8cm to create a top folding portrait orientation standard sized card.
  2. Cut a piece of DSP 10cm x 14.2cm and cut in half down the centre. Flip one piece over the reveal the reverse pattern and glue them side by side to the card base.
  3. Cut another piece of DSP 7.5cm x 10.5cm and a matt layer of Garden Green card 8cm x 11cm and glue them together.
  4. Wrap some green Natural Tones Linen Thread around the right side three times and tie in a bow. Adhere this to the centre of the card on Dimensionals.
  5. Die cut a different floral pattern from the same DSP pack using a circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies and glue this to the previous layer, overhanging it slightly on the left.
  6. Diecut the Basic White banner [Stylish Shapes dies] and stamp the sentiment [Simply Said] in Garden Green ink.
  7. Cut a piece of the green Festive Glimmer Paper 1cm x 7cm and adhere to the back of the banner with Glue Dots.
  8. Cut a Golden Woven Leaves in half and add to the back of the banner with Glue Dots on the lower left 7 upper right. Adhere this to the lower part of the circle on Dimensionals.
  9. Die cut three flowers [Country Birdhouse dies] in Pumpkin Pie cardstock and add with Glue Dots to the card.
  10. Finish off by adding some Brushed Brass Butterfly Embellishments and Adhesive-backed Sparkle Gems to the centre of each flower.
  11. On the inside a Basic White insert 10.5cm x 7.3cm with a strip of the floral DSP to carry over the design!

TIP: I cut a sheet of A4 cardstock down the centre at 10.5cm, then cut each of these into 7.4cm pieces, so I can get 8 inserts from one sheet of cardstock!

I also have a cute triangle giftbox that folds flat, perfect for making ahead of time, storing and even regifting. You could put some little chocolates inside or anything small that may fit.
