Short Front, Fun Fold Friendship Card

 

I am a beach person through and through and so this bundle really found its way into my heart and craft room!I hope to be creating more cards with it.  I'm sure you will enjoy it just as much as I am.

SHORT FRONT FUN FOLD FRIENDSHIP  CARD

Cased Juli Baca



HOW TO CREATE & ASSEMBLE: 

  1. Start with your (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock and randomly stamp pebbles in Crumb Cake ink. This will serve as the base of your card. Set aside for a moment. 
  2. Randomly stamp the dots in Summer Splash on the (3 1/2” x 5 1/2” scored at 1/2”) Summer Splash cardstock.  Fold and burnish at the score line.  Using glue or Stampin’ Seal, adhere the piece of Crumb Cake cardstock to the narrow strip making sure it is lined up to the score line. Set aside.
  3. Take the (1 3/4” x 5 1/2”) strip of white cardstock and using the blending brush and the Summer Splash ink add some color.  Then, tear down the length of the strip to create a rough edge like a wave. Adhere this to the to the card front lining up the straight edge side to the edge of the Summer Splash piece.  The wave will face the fold (left).
  4. Stamp on the (3” x 4 1/4”) white inside layer and on your envelope to coordinate.  Adhere this piece centered on the inside of the card .
  5. Stamp the sentiment on to a scrap piece of Crumb Cake Cardstock and die cut out with smallest Deckled rectangle die.  (Optional: you can stop sentiment right on to the card front once it’s assembled)
  6. Cut out the die pieces on Basic White (4 1/2” 5 1/4”) using the Hybrid Die and Embossing Folder. You can either leave your sand dollars white or using the blending brush and the crumb cake ink you can add some color.
  7. Now to assemble these to your card front, arranging your sand dollars in whatever order you prefer overlapping the summer splash cardstock and not going past the right edge of the card base but ensuring you are covering the inside white piece. 
  8. Wrap your linen thread around your fingers once or twice to create small loop. Adhere to card front with mini glue dot and the using dimensionals, adhere the sentiment over the linen.  Adhere a couple of the faux sea glass shapes to the sentiment and you’re done! PHEW!

 Lauryn  was here visiting.  She enjoys creating cards with me so she created this one for our card class this month.  This stamp set is so cute.  Good for birthday cards and baby cards too.  I apologize that the Designer Series Paper is retired but you could use any DSP you want.
