Double Fold Card

Today I decided I would create a card using a fun fold we have not done before.  Of course I am still on a roll coloring this beautiful stamp and I just had to give my Stampin' Blends a try with it as well.  Hope you enjoy.

The card base is Poppy Parade cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” and scored at 4 ¼”.  I first cut the center of the front of the card out using the second largest of the Stitched So Sweetly dies (these are currently unavailable but are scheduled to be back in stock on April 27^th).  After the center was cut, I placed just the front half of the card into the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder (I just folded the back of the card around the embossing folder and embossed it.  I then used the largest and the second largest of the Stitched So Sweetly dies to cut a frame for the opening out of Gold Foil Sheet and adhered it as shown above.

The second layer (actually a card in and of itself) is cut out of Smoky Slate cardstock cut to 5 ¼ x 8” and scored at 4”.  This is attached to the inside of the first card and centered with the opening on the left instead of the right.  I then cut two pieces of Whisper White cardstock to 3 ¾ x 5” and I adhered one to the inside of the Smoky Slate card.  To decorate this inside of the card I simply cut a strip of Daffodil Delight cardstock 5 x 1 ¼” and used the Ornate Borders Die (this one is also on backorder and is expected to arrive back in stock by May 4^th) to cut the edge and adhered it to the Whisper White, leaving room for me to write my message.  I love this look.

For the focal point of the card I stamped the Ornate Style Stamp Set stamp with the large floral bouquet onto the center using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and colored in my flowers using the blends listed below.  I love how this card turned out and while I did not add any sentiments prior to taking these photos I will be.  I intend to use this card as a Mother’s Day card for my amazing Mother In Law. 

I hope you enjoy this card.  I will list the supplies I used below and you can find the supplies for this card and many more on my website at www.craftwithronnie.stampinup.net or by clicking the shopping button at the top of this blog.
