Sending My Thoughts - a fun fold

Sale-a-bration is drawing to a close.  There are only 2 days left to take advantage of those wonderful free products with a purchase of $60.

One of the items going is the Lily Pad DSP, this paper coordinating the Lily Pad stamp and dies.  A new fun fold, inspired by Patty Bennett, is used to feature this paper for the last time. This is a great fold to exhibit the two sides of any DSP.


A 5 1/4 by 11 3/4" piece of the Lily Pad DSP is scored at 1 3/4,  4 3/4 and 7 3/4" and accordion folded and then added to a 5 1/2 by 4 1/4" Flirty Flamingo card base. The DSP between the second and third score line are adhered together to make a more compact fun fold.

Whisper White sentiment pieces, die cut with the Stitched Rectangle dies, are added to the various inside fold areas, and decorations done using the Lily Pad dies. 

The sentiment on the front is from "Well Said", with the word "you" highlighted with a Bermuda Bay marker.  Because they are individual stamps, the stamparatus was used for stamping.

Two of the smaller Lily flowers are stamped with Flirty Flamingo ink and sponged with Blackberry Bliss, die cut, and then added as embellishments for the front sentiment piece. Also added was some Bermuda Bay enamel dots.

Along both edges, and along the edge of the next fold is added a Flirty Flamingo die cut.

 Below, the card is opened at the first fold to expose the first two sentiment pieces and the pattern on the other side of the DSP.


Open up the final fold and the last 2 sentiment pieces are revealed.
