more color mondays – daffodil delight, cajun craze and mossy meadow

Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge is getting us ready for Fall! The Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper was the inspiration for this Fall color combination of Daffodil Delight, Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow!

And the card inspiration is a CASE from one of my favorite demonstrators, Susan S. this Triple Display Easel card is a fun and easy WOW fold!

Follow along for all the measurements and details!

Measurements:
BASE: Mossy Meadow CS: 4 1/4″ x 11″
scored at 4 1/4″ and 10″
Cajun Craze CS: 1 3/4″ x 5 1/4″, scrap for die
Daffodil Delight CS: 1″ x 4 1/4″, 1 1/2″ x 5″, and
4″ x 5 1/4″, scrap for die
DSP: (2) 3/4″ x 4″, 4″ square
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″

Score the Mossy Meadow 4 1/4″ x 11″ base at
4 1/4″ and 10″.

Take the two Daffodil Delight layers and emboss them in the Sunflower 3D embossing folder.

Adhere the 4″ square DSP layer to the outside
4 1/4″ square panel.
Turn the base card over so the outside of the card is facing up and adhere one of the 3/4″ pieces of DSP to the top panel and the Basic White layer to the middle panel (which will be the back of the card!)
Die cut the Daffodil Delight scrap with the Spotlight on Nature second smallest die and then die cut the Cajun Craze scrap with the third die from the smallest the one that just has ridges no holes.

Stamp the sentiment “SO grateful FOR you” from the Lily of the Valley stamp set in Cajun Craze ink on the Daffodil Delight die.

Make cuts with the NEW detail scissors about every 1/4″ around the die ridges of the Cajun Craze die – crinkle the cuts to make them look like petals! Pop up the Daffodil Delight die onto the “petal -cut” Cajun Craze die.

Adhere the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Daffodil Delight 3D embossed layer to the inside middle panel.
Adhere the smaller Daffodil Delight embossed panel to the Cajun Craze matte layer. Popup the right side of the sentiment petal piece and adhere so the left side hangs over the Cajun Craze matte piece.

Adhere the embossed layer to the top folded panel – I left about 1/4″ surrounding the right and top sides.

Adhere the other 3/4″ DSP patterned paper to the Daffodil Delight matte piece
Pop it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals this will form the “kick-stand” for the easel portion of the card.
Open up the bottom panel of the card and adhere the DSP kickstand piece about 1/4″ above the bottom Mossy Meadow cardstock edge.

Then the easel will have a stopper to hold it up!

I added Adhesive-Backed Metallic Gems to the sentiment flower piece in Copper to enhance the Fall Color theme!

Hope you try this fun fold with items in your stash – let me know what you come up with! Now it’s your turn to create – one stamp at a time!

card sketch #119 – 4 cards from one 6″ x 6″ DSP

card sketch #119 – 4 cards from one 6″ x 6″ DSP

This card sketch inspired 4 cards from this one sheet of gorgeous Thoughtful Journey DSP this was a carryover product last year and I do not anticipate that it will be carried over again so If you love watercolor landscaped images get this paper before it is gone!

Card sketch #119. is here and what will you do with it – so many possibilities!

Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: (2) pieces of 8 1/2″ x 11″
Score one at 4 1/4″ and then cut on the 11″
side at 5 1/2″, score the other at 5 1/2″ and
then cut at 4 1/4″
(4) 3 1/4″ squares, scraps for sentiments
DSP: (1) 6″ x 6″ sheet cut into (4) 3″ squares
then cut each 3″ square into (3) 1″ strips
Mossy Meadow CS: (4) 3 1/2″ squares

Emboss each of the card fronts of the card bases in the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder.

Cut each of the 3″ squares into 1″ strips, keeping in order adhere them to the 3 1/4″ Basic White squares.
Adhere each of the 3 1/4″ white squares to the 3 1/2″ Mossy Meadow CS squares.
Adhere the first square to the center of one of the embossed card fronts.
Stamp a sentiment from the Wonderful Thoughts Bundle and then die cut around the words. Adhere to the card front over the DSP.
Do the same for the rest of the cards! I added a few left over die cuts from a previous card from the Springtime Scenes die set on the last card!
two different card orientations but basically the same sketch!
Adhere three Natural Matte Dots to finish off the card with some coordinating embellishments. These gender neutral cards are perfect for ANY occasion just by changing the sentiment and the Wonderful Thoughts bundle is a great all sentiment set.

Check these items out before they leave!
Now it’s your turn to create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
