Flowering Fields DSP

WOO HOO!!

Spring is here!!

The perennial flowers/plants are starting to come up.

And we even have some green popping through the grass.

Isn't this field of multi-colored tulips is just beautiful.

Daffodil Daydream Bundle

 

WOW!!!

Check out these pretty cards!

I used the 'Daffodil Daydream' Bundle.

 

The didn't emboss the card on the left, but I did emboss the card on the right!

 

This is a fun fold latch card & I just love the way it turned out!

 

How did I do it?

Pale Papaya card stock-

• 4 1/4 x 5 1/2"- card base
• 4 1/4 x 5 1/4"- score at 3 1/4"
• die cut
• EMBOSS now if you desire to do that
  
• add Tear & Tape along left edge
  

• Fold on score line, remove Tear & Tape
• adhere to card base- leaving approximately a 1/8" along top, bottom & left sides

• add glue or adhesive around the back side of this die cut window
• adhere 3 x 5" Very Vanilla card stock

NOTE:  You can stamp daffodil directly onto this or just adhere this as a plain

piece of Very Vanilla card stock & add a die cut Daffodil onto it.

• I added a 3x5" Very Vanilla card stock piece along the center fold of card.
• adhered DSP strip- 1 x 5 1/4" along right edge of card base.
• Add layered words with dimensionals along the RIGHT edge & stick this to the DSP strip.
• These layered words now become a 'latch' that your card front slides into to hold the card shut.
  

I did stamp the Daffodils & add them with dimensionals to the card front.

 

Isn't this just gorgeous!

Just change the words & it would be an awesome card for many different occasions. 

 

This is one of the cards that everyone stamping with me 

at my March monthly classes will be making!
