FLORAL IMPRESSIONS ARROW CARD

Today’s card features the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper along with the Impressions Abloom Bundle.  I am always looking for a new fun fold card to try and I saw where Lisa Curcio had made this arrow card and I decided to give it a whirl.  It was much easier than it looked. 

Here is what I came up with…

 

The key to this card is the folds and cuts so I am putting a scoring and cutting template below that shows how to score the card base and cut the Designer Series Paper for the front of the card as well as the Basic White cardstock for the inside of the card.  This template will be much easier for you to follow than having me try to explain it in writing. 

The card base is Strawberry Slush cardstock cut to 5 ½ x 8 ½” (see template for scoring).  I used the Floral Impressions Designer Series Paper and cut it to 4 x 5” (see template for additional cuts).  I cut the Basic White for the inside (see template) and saved the two extra pieces for other projects (including the sentiment for this card).  Once everything is cut and scored you can start to assemble.  For the folds on the card base do each side all the way before starting the other and always push your bone folder toward the tip of the arrow (this keeps it from becoming bent).  The first score line that goes from the top corner to the center bottom is folded as a mountain fold and the second score line from the 2 1/8” mark is a valley fold. 

Once the card base is prepared add the large center piece of DSP to the front of the card and the two side pieces to the sides on the inside (be sure to leave equal margins around the pieces.  I cut a piece of Strawberry Slush cardstock to 1 x 2 ¼” and a piece of Basic White cardstock for the sentiment to ¾ x 2”.  I stamped “Thanks” from the Impressions Abloom Stamp set onto the white with Strawberry Slush ink and then mounted that on the Strawberry Slush cardstock piece and attached it to the front of the card with Dimensionals.  I die cut one of the flowers from the bundle out of Blackberry Bliss cardstock and the stem and leaves from the bundle out of Garden Green and attached them (I added Dimensionals under the flower and attached the stem directly to the sentiment label.  I added a single strawberry slush colored embellishment from the Strawberry Slush & Pretty In Pink Gems. 

For the inside I stamped the sentiment “FOR BEING THERE” from the Impressions Abloom Stamp Set on the Basic White layer using Strawberry Slush Ink.  I also added one of the flowers from the Blooming Phrases stamp set (I could have used one of the ones from the Impressions Abloom but I really wanted something small) in Strawberry Slush Ink and two of the leaves from the stamp set in Garden Green. 

Here is the templates for the card base and the DSP and inside:
