Double Pop Up Flower Birthday Card - SUO Challenge #303

 Flowers, flowers, everyone knows that I love flowers - in the garden, on cards, I love flowers.  So the challenge at SUO Challenges 303 "Flowers" was right up 'my alley'.

The card I made is a double pop up card, which was a technique I learned from Dawn.

The card base is Melon Mambo .  In the middle is a 4 by 3 piece of Hues of Happiness DSP layered partially with Basic White die cut with a Basic Border Die.

On top of that are added 3 flowers/ leaves  die cut from the same DSP, two of which were added using dimensionals.

Three glossy dots added to the front as well as the Parakeet Party metallic ribbon provide the glitter for this card. Clear Wink of Stella was also added to each flower. 

Below is a close up of the elements of the card front.

The double pop up is revealed when the card is opened.

Supplies Used:

Stamp:  Happiness Abounds

Inks:  Black Memento

Papers:  Melon Mambo, Basic White, Hues of Happiness DSP

Accessories:  Basic Border Die, Blossoming Happiness Dies, Clear Wink of Stella, Glitter dots, Dimensionals.

Nature's Harvest in Blue and White

 Nature's Harvest does not have to be a fall card. Cone flowers are after all a summer flower,

With that in mine, I selected a blue and white pattern from the Nature's Meadows DSP and the rest is history.

• The Card base .is a Misty Moonlight side fold A2 card. 
• Die cut the front card flap using a Basic Border die  (1/" from the center point)
• Emboss the cone flower image with white embossing powder on this die cut flap.
• 
  
  
  
  
• Adhere a 4 by 5 1/4" of the blue and white pattern of the Nature Meadow DSP to the same size of Misty Moonlight card stock.  
• Adhere this to the underside of the die cut card flap.  
• Cut a 4 1/4 by 3/4" of Basic White and a 4 1/4 by 1/2" of Basic White.  Adhere the two together.     
• Adhere a 4 1/4 by 3/4" length of Misty Moonlight ribbon to the middle of this matted strip and add to the lower card front covering the bottom of the embossed cone flower.  Add a bow in the center of the ribbon
• Three retired "All the Trimming embellishments " were added at an angle to the upper left corner.

Inside:

• Add a 1/2 by 4" strip of DSP to the bottom of a 4 by 5 1/4" of Basic White card stock and adhere to the inside of the card.

No sentiment was added to the card.    One will be added when a card is needed for a specific occasion.
