I love this card that I received as a swap by fellow demonstrator, Brenda Hukriede! (Thanks, Brenda!)
The Fringe Scissors and bright summer colors give it a lot of flair and pizzazz.
I wanted my customers to recreate it, but I needed a "fun fold" card rather than just a typical card for my Stamp Camp event.
LIGHTBULB!…
I converted Brenda's card into a "fun fold" by first cutting it into just a card front. Then I simply attached this front to a z-fold base – an 11" x 4-1/4" piece of card stock that was folded in half at 5-1/2" and then folded again – the front folded back on itself (scored at 2-3/4").
Ta-da!
The rhinestones have all been colored with either Sharpie markers or our soon-to-be-released Blendabilies Markers. The large rhinestone (hidden on the inside until opened) helps to keep the card propped open when sitting on a table.
Our Whisper White Organza ribbon is one of my favorites! Glad it will be returning in the 2014-15 Catalog that will debut online on June 2nd.
The card front with fringes is easy to recreate. Use two 4-1/4" x 1-3/4" strips of Crushed Curry, two 4-1/4" x 1-3/4" strips of Tangerine Tango, and two 4-1/4" x 1-3/4" strips of Melon Mambo. After cutting along all the long edges of each piece with the Fringe Scissors, layer them onto a base sheet of 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" Melon Mambo card stock starting with the bottom layer first. Stamp your flowers with coordinating ink colors on a piece of 4-1/4" x 2-1/2" Whisper White card stock and attach to the top half of the card front. Wrap around and tie the ribbon in a knot. Then just add colored rhinestones.
What a great design this would be for a summer party invitation or birthday card!
