Wildly Flowering Thinking of You Open Box Fun Fold Card

Greetings! 

Today's card features the Wildflower Designs stamp set and Wildly Flowering Designer Series Papers (DSP) which are part of the Wildly Flowering Suite Collection.




Gather Your Supplies:

  • Wildflower Designs stamp set
  • Crumb Cake cardstock 
    • card base 8 x 8 - scoring and folding instructions listed in the "Here's How It's Made" section below
  • Misty Moonlight cardstock
    • 4 x 1/2
  • Wild Wheat cardstock
    • 4 x 3/4
  • Basic White cardstock
    • 3-3/4 x 5/8 
  • Wildly Flowering Designer Series Paper 
    • 4 x 2 scattered white flowers on Misty Moonlight background print
    • 3-3/4 square Multicolored floral print on Misty Moonlight background print 
    • 3-3/4 square  Misty Moonlight tone on tone floral print (reverse side of above print)
  • Misty Moonlight Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Crumb Cake Classic Stampin' Pad
  • Ombre Matte decorative dots
  • Paper Trimmer
=============================================================
Here's How It's Made:

Score Crumb Cake cardstock at 4", turn once and score at 4".  Cut one score line from edge to middle intersection.  Score adjacent square diagonally from center intersection to outer corner.  


Position card base with solid square (no cut lines on either edge) on right and scored line at left edge, adhere 2 x 4 DSP piece 1/8" from score line.  Adhere Misty Moonlight cardstock strip at right edge of DSP.  Ink plant stamp with Misty Moonlight, stamp in lower open area to right of Misty Moonlight cardstock strip. Ink "sending happy thoughts" with Crumb Cake, stamp onto Basic White cardstock.  Adhere to Wild Wheat cardstock with bottom edges aligned, adhere in upper portion above stamped plant.


Flip cardstock over.  Adhere multicolored floral print to upper left square (this is the backside of the card front).  Cut remaining tone on tone DSP print diagonally, adhere each piece on either side of the diagonal scored line area of the card base.  Ink "you've been on my mind", stamp in square to right of diagonal square, stamping with top at right edge, so when this piece is folded in and up, the sentiment will be in the correct direction.


Apply adhesive to backside of square with "you've been on my mind" message.  Fold up sentiment square so left cut edge aligns with inner score line of piece above, so you have two layers; press together. You now have an inside that will look like an open box.


Here's how it should look from front:


Embellish with blue and olive large and small Ombre Matte Decorative Dots.
