This Fun Fold is a simple Card in a Card variation. The Hydrangea Paper is just beautiful and says spring to me. You will notice that I rimmed the smaller card on one of the versions in Misty Moonlight and used Gorgeous Grape for the second. You could easily use any of the complimentary colors in this way to change the look of the card. I am so looking forward to Spring and Flowers and everything green.
Measurements and Supplies for today’s Hydrangea Have a Beautiful Day Card:
I used a Basic White Base measuring 5 ½” by 5 ½” Scored and folded at 4 ¼”, plus 2 additional pieces the first cut at 4 ½” by 3 ½” and a second a piece of scrap to cut the sentiment label. Next I used Gorgeous Grape and cut a piece 7 ½” by 4 ¾” Scored and folded at 3 ¾”. I used 3 pieces of the Hydrangea Hill DSP. The first is cut 4 1/8” by 5 3/8” second 4 ½” by 2 ¾” and finally a piece 1 1/8” by 5 3/8” and fussy cut one of the bouquets from the DSP to add to the front of the card.
This card has a surprise inside, the butterflies on both sides look like they wrap around the card! This background paper for the Bijou Butterfly DSP is so pretty. I did offset the sentiment and used a belly band to hold this one closed.
Measurements and Supplies for today’s Mother’s Day Butterfly Gate Fold Card:
I used a Calypso Coral Base measuring 8 ½” by 5 ½”, Scored and folded at 2 1/8” from both sides, plus a piece of scrap to cut the backing for the sentiment
I used a piece of the Butterfly Bijou 6” by 6” DSP and cut two (2) pieces 2” by 5 3/8” for the two front panels of the card – as well as a small piece of scrap for the sentiment.
Then I used the small pattern of white dots on Calypso coral to cut two pieces ½” wide to make my bellyband and fussy cut one of the butterflies from the DSP
Next a piece Whisper White/Basic White 3 ¾” by 5” for the inside of the card
Finally Some scrap Basic Black to die cut the Butterflies
This Hydrangea paper is just so beautiful. When you watch the video you will be able to see just what I did to get a side view of the butterfly. The butterfly looks to me like a Monarch with the orange wings.
Measurements and Supplies for today’s Happy Thoughts Butterfly And Hydrangea Card:
I used a Whisper White/Basic White Base measuring 8 ½” by 5 ½” Scored and folded at 4¼”, plus a piece cut at 3 ¾” by 5” for layering on the inside of the card
I next used a piece of Seaside Spray cut 4 1/8” by 5 3/8” also for the inside of the card
Then a piece Hydrangea Hill DSP cut 4” by 5 ¼” for the front of the card
Then you need a couple of pieces of scrap in Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie to die cut your butterfly pieces
