3/4″
Copper Foil 4″ x 4″ piece for die cutting
I used the largest scalloped circle die and the 2nd and 3rd to the largest plain circle dies

Fold the Basic White cardstock and crease with a bone folder as shown in picture. Adhere large panel to the inside back of the card base.
Adhere the 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of DSP to the outside of the card using glue only around the edges so you can use the die cuts separately if desired.
Cut the largest plain circle in the upper middle third of the card front.
With the 4″ x 4″ Smoky Slate cardstock and the copper foil cut the largest plain circle first and then position the scallop circle equidistant on all sides on the circle.

Adhere these “window frame” pieces around the circle cut out of the card.

Cut the 4″ x 4″ Basic white square with the smaller of the two plain circles – decorate it and mount onto the copper circle cut out when you made the “window frame” (I embossed the flower image from the Elegantly Said stamp set in Copper Embossing Powder.
Mount the two 1 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ pieces of DSP to the two smaller sections of the Basic White cardstock and then with the card front closed place Tear&Tape on the visible part of the flap DSP through the circle and mount the embossed circle onto the flap.
I embossed the sentiment in Copper EP on the base of the card and voila a very fun pull out flap card!

*Basic White Cardstock (#159276) : scraps for
embossing and the tag punch

4″ x 1/2″ piece for the inside of the card
* 16″ piece of Pale Papaya Open Weave ribbon
(#155672)

Using a blending Brush (#153611) in Cinnamon Cider ink (#153114) add color to the gold foiled white background DSP. When desired tone is reached adhere to the base Cinnamon Cider Cardstock.

With a Basic White scrap punch out the Elegant tag punch.
Stamp the corner image in the Cinnamon Cider ink and stamp off 1-2 times and stamp the lightened image onto the edge of the tag.

Stamp the sentiment full strength onto the tag, using the blending brush add a little color to the edges and pop up on dimensionals, placing it in the lower right hand side of the card.

Using the other scrap piece of Basic White cardstock stamp the flower image twice in Versamark and pour the Gold Embossing powder and heat set it with the Stampin’ Heat Tool.

Fussy Cut the flowers and layer them under the tag on the front of the card.

Open up the card and stamp in Cinnamon Cider ink the corner stamp in the upper right hand corner, the sentiment in the middle and then adhere the 4″ x 1/2″ sheet of DSP paper that is colored in the same way as the larger piece to the bottom of the card inside!

Using a Blender Brush place the new Pale Papaya Open Weave ribbon on the ink pad, apply pressure and pull the ribbon through the space below the blending brush- dragging it across the ink pad surface – do this on both sides to color both sides evenly.

DO YOU REALIZE WHAT THIS MEANS!!!!!!!

Open Weave ribbon in virtually every Stampin’Up! color!!!
