Hello Fellow Stampers :-)
Happy Monday! Here we go with a "long" week ahead of us. I'm hoping it will be a little smoother of a week than last week. Certain, I'm crossing my fingers for warmer temps! Miss Sadie Ann is going to be happy as a clam to go play with her BFF's today. I kept her home all last week as it was just way too cold to be outside for little paws.
Today we're going to create a "flip" fold card, using the wonderful Cake Soiree bundle - one of my favorites for birthday cards right now. And I'm going to showcase the fabulous Sweet Soiree Embellishment kit in today's project as well -- so gorgeous!!
A flip card can be created with any solid framelit type die that we have - it's easy!
The card base is cut 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", and then you score at 4-1/4", and at 2-1/8".
Then it's all about how you run that die through the Big Shot - I'll do a short tutorial on this soon!!
Here is the card spread open.
The front 2-1/8" panel was embossed with the Petal Pair (floral image) Texuted Impressions Embossing Folder; then sponged with Powder Pink, Marina Mist, Daffodil Delight and Old Olive inks. So soft and pretty!
And here is where I jumped in and used all the pretty pieces and parts of the gorgeous Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit. This kit has all the pretty cakes, flowers, etc - all stamped and ready to be punched out and used (all cut out for you already). You will find pre-stamped/colored and die cut flower sprays, both on whisper white cardstock, and then silver foil flowers and leaf stems on vellum -- just gorgeous. The kit includes little white clothespins, a beautiful Marina Mist blue velvet ribbon, and a teeny tiny silver stripe washi tape along with some sweet little paper tassels.
This is the inside back panel. Here you can see I used one of the pre-cut/stamped floral sprays, backed with some of the beautiful silver embossed vellum flower and leaf stems. I popped this up with dimensionals and laid it over a strip of the gorgeous Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edged Ribbon.
Then the sentiment was stamped with Versamark and embossed with Silver embossing powder; then punched out with the Pretty Label Punch. Also popped with dimensionals - I laid one of the Marina Mist tassels behind it - and finished it off with Glitter Enamel Dots.
Here's the back side of the front flap/fold. On the "flip fold" I used two of the pre-cut cakes from the kit. All I did was color in the flowers on the cakes with Stampin' Write markers to match the color scheme of this suite. I used the pink cake on the "front" flip; and the yellow cake on the back of the "flip" panel. For the back side of the flip panel - I added a pretty piece of Sweet Soiree Specialty DSP, another one of the pre-die cut floral sprays, and then several of the Vellum silver embossed flower stems to the cake itself; finished off with a Petal Passion Embellishment.
And here you can see the card from the front with the folds in place. I colored on the vellum cutouts from the back side to add some "stained glass" color, and then attached these to the back of the sentiment die cut circle for the front cake - popped with dimensionals.
I hope you have enjoyed our Mix-It Up Monday project today - I like bringing you something a little different on Mondays - either a fancy fold, or a 3D project when I can. I am loving the Sweet Soiree Suite - and it combines beautiful with pieces and parts from the Petal Palette Suite.
