I cannot believe that today is the last day of June – just crazy! Today is also the last day of the 15% off Designer Series Paper sale. It is also the last day of the current hostess code TZ9Z3W2M. I have one packet left from my paper share if anyone is interested let me know! $25 for over 100 sheets of 6″ x 6″ DSP – one of each of the double sided DSP sale merchandise! So many great designs and one of my surprising favorites (didn’t think I liked it this much until I actually saw it in person and now I LOVE IT!) Masterfully Made DSP is what I chose for this fun fold card today!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White 8 1/2″ x 11″
(3) 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″
scraps for sentiment pieces
DSP: (1) 4″ x 5 1/4″
(1) 3″ x 5 1/4″

Score the entire sheet of cardstock at 5 1/2″ on the 11″ side and at 4 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
Cut the upper left hand piece out.

Cut 1/2″ off both sides of the upper right hand piece, leaving a 3 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ section.
I rotated my card horizontally but the card can be made either way!

I used a blending Brush on the three 1/4 sheets of Basic White cardstock, leaving lighter and darker spaces in Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst and Old Olive inks. Then I die cut the berries and flowers from the Timeless Arrangements die set from each of the pieces of card stock.

I stamped two sentiments onto scrap Basic White cardstock and die cut them with the stitched rectangle dies and stamps from the Timeless Arrangements set and gathered up all the pieces for the card making.
I opened up the flap on the inside and stamped the last sentiment onto the card base in Blueberry Bushel ink.
I added the smaller piece of DSP to the front side of the flap and adhered it down.
I adhered several Berry die cuts to the bottom of the thank you sentiment piece and adhered it to the lower portion of the flap so that the berries hung down over the flap but did not extend past the card base perimeter.
I adhered all the colored die cuts to the back of the “your kindness means everything to me” sentiment piece and added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the underside and adhered it to the card front.
I finished the card with Ombre Matte Decorative Dots.
I love the surprise of the extra flap when you open up this card – an unexpected extra layer of fun.
Try this fun fold soon and go create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
