Paisleys & Posies Fancy Flap Opening Cards
Today's pair of Paisleys & Posies cards from my Stamp-of-the-Month class kit features lots of the beautiful images and a fun, non-traditional card opening. Let's take a closer look at the details…
Background Basics—The base of this card is a quarter sheet of Rich Razzleberry card stock measuring 4-1/4" x 5-1/2". The part of the card that opens is created with a 10-1/4" x 3-7/8" sheet of Night of Navy, scored at 5-1/8" and rounded at the bottom four corners with the Corner Round Punch.
Stamped Layers—The stamped background starts with a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Very Vanilla card stock. I stamped the Paisleys & Posies images randomly over the entire sheet using Night of Navy, Rich Razzleberry and Mint Macaron inks.
Some TIPS:
- Start by stamping larger images first, then add medium images and fill in with the smallest images.
- Be sure to stamp off the edge of the card stock, so it looks like it's cut from a sheet of paper.
Sweet Sentiment—I adhered a 3-3/4" x 3/4" layer of Copper Foil across the front. The Paisleys & Posies greeting is stamped in Night of Navy ink onto a 3" x 1" piece of Mint Macaron, then fishtailed on one end. It's adhered about an 1/8" from the right side with Dimensionals.
Fancy Flap Inside Décor—On the inside of the card, I added another 3-3/4" x 5" Very Vanilla layer, with the corners rounded, and stamped with matching images. The Paisleys & Posies set has two phrases that are perfect for the inside of the card.
Two Cool—The second card from the pair uses the same basic elements in a horizontal layout and Cajun Craze color.
The background stamping is done with Night of Navy, Cajun Craze, Rich Razzleberry & Mint Macaron ink. My Copper Foil strip measures 5" x 1".
Inside—I love using the paisley designs on the inside to really dress it up!
