Partial M-Fold Card Using Springtime Foil DSP - a CASE

I took some time off from getting ready for my craft sale tomorrow,  to case a card made by Jan Brown, a SU Demonstrator in the UK.  She had made a video of this partial M-fold card and I was fascinated by it.  The video is a bit long, but was very informative and well worth watching.

Here's my take on the card.  Actually, I made 2 of them.

I used the new SAB Springtime Foil DSP- 2 patterns, one of which has a floral pattern, the flowers and leaves were coloured with blendabilites.  I cut a large flower and a smaller flower with a leaf for the sentiment panel. The butterfly is from the Move Me More thinlets.

Stamps:  Birthday Blooms, Hold onto Hope 

Inks:  Blendabilities (Cherry Cobbler, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive), Berry Burst

Papers:  Berry Burst, Whisper White, Springtime Foil DSP

Accessories:  Move Me More Thinlets, Pearls

The second card is more like the one Jan made in the video.

This time the base of the card was Pool Party and  the flowers were coloured with Pool Party blendabilites,

Happy to Know You

I can't believe Sale-a-bration days are drawing to a close.  The days have slipped by me as I have been busy preparing for my Giant Stamp/craft sale on Saturday.  It's been a lot of hard work, and I hope it pays off.

The sale comes at a good time.  A new roof was put on my house almost 14 years to the date I had the last roof put on.  Because of climate change roof's no longer last 25 years before they have to be replaced.

Most of my profit will go towards paying for the roof.

Today I finally had time to play with one of the new SAB products from thee new brochure  "Springtime Foil Specialty DSP".  What beautiful paper!!!  As soon as I opened the pack I fell in love!

The images on this paper can be coloured with the Blendabilities, but I was reluctant to do so because the paper is so gorgeous, but I broke down .

For this card I used 2 of the patterns adhered to a Basic Black card stock base.

The leaves in the upper DSP were coloured with both shades of the Old Olive Blendabilities.  I started out tentatively hating to destroy the beauty of the paper, but I quite like the results.

Some 1/4" natural trim with silver ribbon was adhered on the seam between the upper and lower patterns.  A bow was made of the same ribbon and added to the front with a glue dot.

The sentiment, embossed with silver embossing powder, was die cut with a stitched circle framelit and added to the card front with dimensionals.  A petite petal flower and leaf were punched, shaped and added to the card front on the left of the sentiment.  A pearl, coloured with a blendability, was added to the center of the flower.
