The card I am sharing today is created using Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest stamp set and the Hand Penned DSP.  My card is a CAS of Mary Deatherage.

Since this is a fun fold I am entering the Creative Creases Challenge, it is always a fun fold and they are my favorite but don’t always make.

The first thing I did was to score and cut a panel of Soft Succulent card stock.  You can see the diagram above for scoring and cutting.   Put the short side (the 5-1/2″ side) in the Paper Trimmer, I cut the card stock 1-1/2″ from the edge of the card stock, from the first score line down to the third score line.  You need to turn the paper around and do the same on the other side. 1-1/2″ cut on both sides from score line to score line.

You can see in the diagram above how to fold after scoring and cutting.

This is how the card looks out flat to add the mats and DSP. I should have taken a picture before I added the flower piece and greeting.

Here are the card cuts which are usually at the end of the post.  You will need the following.

• Soft Succulent card stock — this is the card base. Cut 5-12″ x 8-1/2″  — score, cut and fold according to the diagram above.
• Basic Black card stock 
  • mats for the DSP pieces –( cut 2) mats 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″
  • mats for the DSP — (cut 4)  1-1/4″ x 1-7/8″
• Hand Penned DSP
  • (cut 2) 1-3/4″ x 5-1/8″
  • (cut 2) 1-3/4″ x 2-1/8″
  • (cut 4) 1-1/8″ x 1-3/4″  I used two different patterns for this as I wanted to add other elements to these panels.
• Basic White card stock
  • front panel — 4″ x 5-1/4″ I used the next to the largest Scalloped Contour Dies to crop this piece.
  • envelope flat — 2-1/4″ x 6″
• Highland Heather card stock used to crop the flowers using a die from the Tulip Dies

You can see from the diagram how the mats and DSP are put together and adhered to the card base.

I colored the Scalloped Contour cropped piece using Soft Succulent, Daffodil Delight ink, and a Blending Brush. Stamped grass in Soft Succulent ink.  I stamped a flower image from Stampin’ Up! Nature’s Harvest stamp set in Highland Heather ink, I stamped again in Soft Succulent ink.  I fussy cut all the pieces and paper pieced to get the flowers the way I wanted.  I used Mini Glue Dots to adhered the flower heads to the stems.   The flower piece is popped on the colored panel using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.  A greeting from Stampin’ Up! Special Moments stamp set is stamped in Soft Succulent ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock and cropped with a die long retired but any die could be used that fits the greeting.  Brushed Brass Butterflies are popped in several spot on the card along with Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels. 

A medium Basic White envelope gets a panel of Hand Penned DSP applied to the envelope flap.

If you would like to create this card all the products used are in the post instead of at the end of the post as they usually are.
