Fancy Flora Fun Fold

I made a quick card yesterday using the Fancy Flora Designer Series Paper for a fun fold card. The sun was out and it just felt like spring was just around the corner so I chose one of the soft pastel patterns from the Fancy Flora DSP for the card.

There were many color choices for the card stock to go with this pattern so I went with Orchid Oasis and Fresh Freesia. It’s just a score line on the main panel and then another score line on the overlapping panel and the card is done!

The side snap gives a better view of the two folds of the card.

I started with a card base of Orchid Oasis cut 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″. The Fresh Freesia panel is cut at 8 1/2″ x 4″ and scored at 3 1/4″. I adhered this panel to the card base and added a mat of DSP cut 5″ x 3 3/4″.

I embossed a piece of Basic White cut 3 3/4″ x 3″ with the crosshatch pattern using one of the Basic 3D embossing folders from the Online Exclusive products. This is adhered to the outer portion of the Fresh Freesia panel that is folded up.

The small fold using Orchid Oasis is cut 8 1/2″ x 3″ and scored at 4 1/4″ and the mat of DSP on the front is 4″ x 2 3/4″. I added a mat of Basic White cut 4″ x 2 3/4″ for the inside of the fold for writing the sentiment. This fold is adhered on top of the larger folded panel.

I finished the card with the sentiment from Around the Bend stamped with Orchid Oasis classic ink and die cut with the Stylish Shapes die. This is popped up on a Fresh Freesia die cut also using the Stylish Shapes dies with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Orchid Oasis ribbon to the back of the sentiment piece and adhered it to the front panel also with Stampin’ Dimensionals. A few of the 2022 – 2024 In Color Matte Decorative Dots completed the card.
