Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper Z-Fold Cards

Hi Stamping Friends,
 
I'm loving the double-sided designs on the Painted Seasons Designer Series Paper, so I couldn't wait to try it with a project showcasing both sides of the paper. 
 
Yesterday, I created a pair of two cool cards with this awesome paper from the Sale-a-Bration 2nd Release during my Facebook LIVE. Watch the replay below to see me create these two cards as I share lots of Too Cool Tips along the way!  Then, check out the photos, measurements and supplies links on the post below.

Fun-Fold DSP Card Base—Select your favorite double-sided sheet of DSP, like this one from the Painted Seasons Bundle Sale-a-Bration selection.  Cut it to 5-1/2" x 12", then score along the 12" side a the 1-3/4" x 4-3/4" and 7-3/4" marks.  Fold back the first smallest panel, then accordion fold on the remaining score lines.  I like to secure the first folded-back flap with some SNAIL adhesive.  For card stability, I mounted the card onto a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" quarter sheet of Poppy Parade card stock using Tear & Tape Adhesive.

Sweet Sentiment—I stamped the sentiment from Rooted In Nature in Early Espresso ink onto a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" square of Whisper White cardstock, then layered it onto a 2-5/8" x 2-5/8" piece of Call Me Clover cardstock.  It's popped up with Dimensionals onto a 3" x 3" square of Poppy Parade cardstock, then attached to the front card flap with Dimensionals.

Painted Flowers—I stamped the Painted Seasons larger flower in Poppy Parade ink and die-cut it with the NEW Four Seasons Framelits.  This coordinating set of dies will be available to customers for a limited time, from March 1-31.  If you want them right away, you can simply add the Four Seasons Framelits (150074) to your $99 Starter Kit or $129 Starter Kit order, or pre-order the dies when you're a demonstrator!  The leaves are stamped in Call Me Clover full-strength for one and stamped-off for the second. They are added to the bottom of the sentiment layer with SNAIL and a Dimensional in the corner for stability. 
 
Stamparatus Die-Cut Stamping—In the video, I shared how you can easily create a template to use with the Stamparatus for quick & accurate stamping on die-cuts.  This comes in handy when you are making several cards at once and need lots of flowers and leaves.  
 
Finishing Touches—I tied a Petal Pink & Silver Baker's Twine bow and attached it to the flower collage with a Glue Dot.  Then I finished with three Artisan Pearls floating around the sentiment.  So cute!

Two Cool—I created a second version using my next favorite sheet from the Painted Seasons DSP and mounted it onto a quarter sheet of Pool Party cardstock.

Sweet Sentiment—This time I stamped a Forever Lovely greeting in Shaded Spruce ink onto the 2-1/2" square of Whisper White.  It's layered onto a 2-5/8" square of Grapefruit Grove cardstock and popped up onto a 3" square of Pool Party.
 
Floral Décor—I stamped the smaller Painted Seasons flower in Pool Party onto Whisper White and die-cut with the upcoming Four Seasons Framelits. The leaves are stamped the same as the first card in Call Me Clover ink.
 
Finishing Touches—Same baker's twine bow and same Artisan Pearls, still super-cute!
