The challenge with SUO Challenge #299 is to " create with your favorite bundle or suite collection from any of our current publications."
It was really difficult to pick a favourite bundle so I chose a masculine one "Home & Garden" and used the Floating Gatefold card to showcase it.
The gatefold is formed by scoring a 5 1/2 by 8 1/2" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock at 2 1/8" and then bringing the other end over to meet at the folded end. In Good Taste DSP is added to each panel; die cuts of various garden/house tools is added to each panel - the birthday sentiment on the left side. All images are stamped with Black Memento ink and coloured with Stampn Blends before being die cut using the coordinating Garden dies.
The use of tabs on the inside create the floating part of the card. Two tabs, each 2 by 5 1/2" scored at 1/2. One end of the tab is attached to the inside of the front panel; the other to the inside of the card.
Attached to each is an art piece, 2 by 2" of Very Vanilla card stock, matted with a 2 1/8 by 2 1/8" piece of Early Espresso and finally with a 2 1/4 by 2 1/4" piece of Very Vanilla. All edges were sponged with Early Espresso ink. Below is a picture with the card closed. See below for a picture of the card opened with the panels pulled out of the way.
Before adding the tabs, some DSP followed by Very Vanilla with sponged edges was added to the inside. The sentiment, from " Happiest Birthdays" was stamped with Early Espresso on the Very Vanilla piece.
Some die cuts were added to each floating panel.
