Hello, Friend - Funky Fold

Hello, my stamping friend.
Some time ago I posted set of cards using Four Season stamp/die and paper. One of the cards had funky fold and I said I will post instructions. Well, I never did. But better late then never, LOL.
I love this fold as it is using just a half sheet of paper - no extra required.

This time I used tropical bundle and paper - both will be retiring soon. And my all time favorite stamp "Life is Grand" - it has such fun bold greetings.
Instructions are for Granny Apple Green version.


Measurements: 
  • Granny Apple Green CS: 4 ¼ x 11” 
  • Whisper White: 4 x 5 ¼ “, 2 ½ x 4”, scrap for die cutting 
  • DSP: 2 ½ x 4” 
Instructions: 
  1. Score granny apple cardstock at 5 ½. From one side of card base cut half – 2 ¾ x 4 ¼” piece. You will have a card and a piece for sentiment. Adhere DSP to the front of the card and whisper white to the inside of the card. 
  2. Stamp a sentiment in the center of 2 ½ x 4 whisper white cs in blushing bride ink. Adhere stamped piece to the piece for granny apple green cs (from step 1). 
  3. Adhere sentiment with dimensionals to the card front (put dimensionals only toward the left side).
  4. Stamp big leaf in shaded spruce, small one in granny apple green and 2 flowers in blushing bride. Die cut with Big Shot. Add one flower with dimensional to the top right corner of sentiment and the rest of the diecuts to the bottom left (see picture).
  5. Add 3 pearls to each flower. 
They are so easy!  I even decided to use Paper Pumpkin stamp to make one of them:
 Happy Stamping!

  • DSP: 2 x 4”

Stamp in Balmy Blue ink “Happy Birthday” and “count the good times…” sentiments on un-embossed part (bottom left). Adhere to the card front. Adhere DSP to strip of lemon lime cs and then to the card front above the greeting. 
  2. Dies cut whisper white piece with the largest stitched oval and Sahara sand cs – with the scalloped oval that is slightly bigger than stitched one. Stamp candelas in balmy blue ink on the top of scalloped oval. Adhere 2 ovals.
