I decided I wanted to make a card with a flower. I looked at my stash of flowers and found this easy Flower Fold-it die from the Stamps of Life, it is sized A1.
 |
| I pretty much followed the packaging that the A1 Flower Fold-it die came with. The yellow polka dot paper came from a 12X12 Designer Series Paper pack from Stampin UP - A very Long Long time ago. I am pretty sure it is in the color Daffodil Delight. |
 |
| I am primarily using Stampin Up paper for this card. |
 |
| The big die is the actual card die and the panel you cut out to cover the fold. |
 |
| I used from Stampin UP - Pale Plum, Elegant Eggplant, Granny Apple Green, Call Me Clover, and Very Vanilla. I used from the Stamps of Life - Powder Sugar - the white for my card base, I was going to use Very Vanilla but it was not sturdy enough. |
 |
| I used a two tag dies from my stash to cut out solid colors of card stock. A bigger tag die for the neutrals and a smaller tag die for the solid color card stock. I put the company initials on the back. |
 |
| I am using a combination of Tombow Mono Liquid glue and Stampin Up dimenstionals to put my Flower together. |
 |
| Adding different layers of dimension will give this simple card depth. |
 |
| I like to use a combination of Tombow Mono Liquid glue and foam dimensionals to give a little wiggle room while placing the piece on my project. |
 |
| For the fine line leaves and center of the flower, Barley Art Glitter glue with the fine tip is essential. |
 |
| Finished Card. |
 |
| Side View - I am leaving the card blank because you can use this card for many occasions. |
 |
| It does stand up. |
 |
| Closer view - I also used an enamel dot for the center of the flower to give dimension and shine. |
