Garden Impressions So Much To Love Front Flap Card
The front flap card is one of my favorite, easy-to-create, fun fold cards right now. I love how Renee decorated her swap card with the Garden Impressions DSP.
Background Basics—The 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" quarter sheet of Petal Pink cardstock creates the base of this card. Renee added a 4-1/4" x 1/2" strip of Garden Impressions DSP across the middle of the base.
Next, she created the front flap with a 3-1/4" x 10" Soft Sea Foam, scored at the 5-1/2" mark. It's adhered to the card base with Tear & Tape Adhesive. A 3" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White was added to the inside for the card's message.
Sweet Sentiment—Renee finished the card by stamping the Abstract Impressions sentiment in Lovely Lipstick ink onto Whisper White cardstock. She also used two of the Abstract Impressions images to create a little butterfly. The body is stamped in Soft Sea Foam and the wings are stamped in Petal Pink. It's punched out with the 2-1/4" Circle Punch, then layered onto a 2-1/2" circle die-cut with the Layering Circles Framelits from Soft Sea Foam. It's popped up onto the flap with Dimensionals.

Springtime Impressions Two Blooms Card
Marcia Gay created this pretty card featuring the Garden Impressions DSP along with some bitty blooms from the coordinating Springtime Impressions Thinlits.
Background Basics—Marcia adhered a 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White layer onto a Shaded Spruce card base to start. Next, she layered a 2" x 5-1/4" piece of Garden Impressions DSP onto a 2-1/4" x 5-1/4" layer of Lovely Lipstick. She tied a 1/8" Shaded Spruce Metallic Ribbon around the layers, then adhered it to the card front with SNAIL.
Sweet Sentiment—Marcia stamped the Abstract Impressions greeting in Shaded Spruce ink onto a 2-1/4" square of Whisper White. It's layered onto a Lovely Lipstick scallop square die-cut with Layering Square Framelit, then layered onto a 2-5/8" square of Shaded Spruce and popped up with Dimensionals.
Bitty Blooms—The two blooms and leaves are cut from Lovely Lipstick, Daffordil Delight and Shaded Spruce cardstock with the large floral thinlit from the Springtime Impressions Thinlits. Marcia cut the different colored elements from the original die-cut and adhered them with Multipurpose Glue.
