Fancy Fold Card (12/30/2017 Rose Hill Stamp Camp)

OH MY GOSH!!!!  I can't believe it's been so long since I posted any projects!  Guess I wore myself out with the Christmas Countdown . . . ?  Plus, it's been a whirlwind January -- lots of activities!  Now that I have a little breathing space I'll be sharing lots of photos over the next several days.

In any event, today I'm sharing with you the card we made at my table at Rose Hill Stamp Camp on December 30.  It's a fun fold card and uses one of the FREE stamp sets from the 2018 Sale-a-Bration Catalog.  (Click HERE for details on how to get this free set.)

Instructions
(NOTE:  For visual step-by-step directions, see photo below.)

1. Score 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" Basic Black card stock at 5-1/2"; fold away from score line to create card base.

2. Use Big Shot and Embossing Folder to add texture to 5-1/4" x 4" Whisper White card stock; adhere to inside of card.  (NOTE: Because of the design of this folder, there really is no top or bottom, so it will be perfect no matter which way you insert it into the card.)

3. With smaller flap to the right, adhere 4" x 2-3/4" DSP to OUTSIDE of flap.

4. Score 8" x 3" Basic Black card stock at 4"; fold away from score line to create smaller card.

5. Use Basic Gray ink to stamp flower image on one piece of 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" Whisper White card stock; adhere to front of 4" x 3" card.  Reink and stamp image just in the lower corner of the second piece of 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" Whisper White card stock; adhere to inside of card.

6. Adhere smaller card over textured Whisper White card stock near upper left-hand corner as shown.

7. With smaller card open, fold flap of larger card to the left; then close smaller card over the flap.

8. Stamp sentiment on scrap of Whisper White card stock; punch out with Pretty Label punch.  Use brush end of Basic Black marker to trace around edge of label (this will create a fine line around the edge to define the label against the lighter background).  Adhere Mini Stampin' Dimensionals to back of upper left-hand corner of label and adhere label to lower corner of smaller card.  (Yes, it's attached to the smaller card -- NOT the right-side flap -- so it moves with the front flap when you open and close the card.)

9. Don't forget the BLING!!!  Adhere self-adhesive Faceted Gem to center of large daisy on image to add the just right amount of glitz to this card.

Hope you enjoyed this fun card!  It's a little out-of-the-ordinary and very simple to make!
