The challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments has some wonderful spring/Easter colours. Below is the card I made. Scroll down to the bottom to check out a video on how to make the basic card fold.
The colours of the challenge are below:
The basic card is a Horizontal Front Panel Fun Fold. There are many tutorials on You Tube and Pinterest for this fun fold, but the one I found most helpful was done by Jan B here . The measurements and score lines for the fun fold are as follows:
- Pear Pizzazz card stock 5 1/2 by 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4, 5 1/4, 7 & 8 on the 8 1/2" side
- Pear Pizzazz card stock 3 3/4 by 4 1/4" scored at 2 3/4 & 3 3/4 on the 4 1/4" side.
- Basic White 5 1/4 by 4" DSP 5 by 3 3/4" For back of main fold.
- Basic White 5 1/4 by 1 3/4" DSP 5 by 1 1/2" For front lower panel
- Basic White 3 1/2 by 2 1/2" DSP 3 1/4 by 2 1/4" For the front panel
- Basic White die cut with the largest of the Stitched So Sweetly die - art piece
- The following stamped die cuts: 1 large flower stamped with Highland Heather; 3 medium flowers stamped with So Saffron ink; 1 large and 3 medium floral overlays; l large Pear Pizzazz stem and leaf. The overlays are adhered to their floral counter parts before being added to the art piece as shown in the picture. Highland Heather pearls are added to the center of each flower.
- The completed art piece is adhered to the front panel of the Fun Fold.
- Some Basic White ribbon (1/8") was coloured with a Highland Heather stamp'n blend, tied into a double bow and added to the lower corner of the art piece.
- Two little butterflies and a Ladybug are also added.
- Sentiment stamped with Highland Heather and trimmed all around; second part of sentiment stamped with Black Memento
After the card is put together this is what it looks like from the side:
