Sale-a-bration Summer Shadow Dies with Beautifully Penned DSP Corner Latch Fun Fold

 Clean, simple, elegant!
Wow....yes I think that all of these words could be mentioned about this card.
It is a pretty black & white fun fold.
This is called the Corner Latch Fun Fold!
 I used 2 of the Sale-a-bration choices on this card.
  • The Beautifully Penned DSP- FREE with a $50 product order
  • Summer Shadows- FREE with a $100 product order
Did you know that these Summer Shadow Dies coordinate with the 
Shaded Summer stamps set that can be found on page 75 in the Annual Catalog!!
Wow- isn't that cool!
How about adding some color?
I colored this card with the Stampin' Blends.
I used the Light & Dark Polished Pink and 
the Light & Dark Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends.
This is what it looks like when it is opened up!

Delicate Dahlias

Here is another totally Susie card.
Check out this awesome dis'ink'tive stamp set called- 'Delicate Dahlias'.
It is one of the Sale-a-bration choices that
you can get it FREE with a $100 product order.
I think that this flower is just gorgeous! 
 
There are no dies with this 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set-
so I fussy cut out all of these flowers & leave with my scissors.
But I do like to cut things out though!
If you don't like to fussy cut things out-
 keep on reading & see how you can do the "masking technique".
This is what my card looks like when opened up!
  This a fun accordion z fold card! 
 
The Garden Green DSP is also a Sale-a-bration choice.
It is from the Peaceful Prints 12x12 DSP pack
that is FREE with a $50.00 product order.
I made all of these cards for a swap that I participated in with 
some other demonstrator friends.
And I used the 'Delicate Dahlias' stamp set with with it too!
For the flowers I used the Stamparatus so that it was easy to line up
& so that I could mass produce it so much faster!
 
You don't have to fussy cut out this flower.
For this flower I did the "masking technique".
How did I do it?
#1.  Stamp Flower using the Stamparatus.
 
#2.- I used a pink post-it-note, stamped the flower outline onto it 
& then fussy cut it out with scissors.
I put this post-it-note flower directly over the Fresh Freesia flower I stamped.
#3.  I then stamped the leaves.
Notice how I stamped the leaves slightly onto the post-it-note "flower mask".
#4.  This is what the "masking technique" flower looks like when finished.
It is really cool huh!
By doing the stamping with the "masking technique" way- 
it looks like the leaves are behind the flower.
 
Both of the flower/leaves are very pretty!
Which one do you like better?
Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp set:  'Delicate Dahlias'
card stock:
  • Garden Green- 4 1/4 x 5 1/2"- base
  • Garden Green- 5 1/4 x 11"- score at 1 3/4", 3 1/2", 5 1/4", 7"

Peaceful Deer Bundle Fun Fold

 Here is a totally Susie card!
I LOVE this NEW Peaceful Deer Bundle!
IT just makes me smile.
My head just spins with ideas using it!
And the Deer is a PUNCH!
WOO HOO!!

This is a really cute fun fold card.
The center circle flips up & shows on the inside of the card when it is opened up.
Isn't this so cool!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So how did I do it?

#1.  Die cut circle window in card front.  
SAVE this piece as you'll use to layer the other circles/deer onto later.  
 #2.  Stamp words onto the lower part of the inside Basic White cardstock & then adhere to inside of card.

 

#3.  Make a box like this & add adhesive to the 1/4" strip & put together to form a box.

This is a 2 1/4 x 4 1/4" strip- score at 1/2", 1", 2", 3" & 4".

Here is the pattern you'll need to make the box above!
#4.  Adhere the box to the inside of the card as shown above.  
Put the box in the CENTER & close to the center fold of the card. 
Have the adhesive on it downward onto the Basic White card stock that is the inside base piece. 
 
#5.  You'll add adhesive along the lower part of the inside card front & then close the card.  
The card front will now be stuck down to the box top! 
 
#6.  I added the DSP strips & words onto the card front.
 #7.  Now you'll put adhesive on a little tab you make- like shown here on the right side.
 This is the pattern for the tab you'll need.
It is 3/4 x 2" & score it in half at 1".
#8. You'll fold the tab in half & adhere it down onto the box top.  
Make sure that the TOP (open) end of the tab is up & adhere it to the middle/top part of the box as shown here above.
You'll now add a piece of adhesive to this tab (on the top side) too!
*So yes- BOTH folded sides of this tab have adhesive onto them.

#9.  You'll put the 3 circles together.
With the card shut- you'll adhere the circle pieces to the center tab that is on the box top shown in the photo above for step #8.
#10.  You'll then add the deer. 
#11.  Your card is complete!
Here are the supplies & measurements.
stamp set:  'Peaceful Deer'
card stock:
  • Old Olive- 5 1/2 x 8 1/2"- score at 4 1/4"- fold in half for card base.  Cut circle out of center front of this piece.  Save circle to layer other circles onto & reattach later to fit into card front "window".
