MAGNOLIA MOOD
The first thing I picked out to make this card was the Wildly Flowering Designer Paper…it is SO pretty! The colors and stamp set were chosen from there. Next was the closing mechanism…the Something Fancy Die worked for the Magnolia Mood greeting size…and adding the small flower in Magnolia Mood worked perfectly on this Angled Gate Fold card!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 11 Moody Mauve cardstock, scored at 3-3/8 and 7-5/8.
- Along both sides, I placed a small pencil dot at the 1-1/2 mark. At 1″ from each bottom corner, I added another pencil dot. The angles were cut with my Stampin’ Trimmer.
- I embossed only the left angled side with the Eyelet Embossing Folder.
- I cut the Wildly Flowering DSP at 3-1/8 x 5-1/4 and repeated the pencil marks and cut angles with the same measurements as above for the layer on the right side (repeat if you want DSP on the left side, too, just make sure your directional patterns line up correctly.)
- I stamped the 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White cardstock with the small magnolia flower in Mossy Meadow Ink and colored with Dark Soft Sea Foam, Light Bubble Bath and Light Moody Mauve Stampin’ Blends. I adhered the layer to the inside.
- I created the latching mechanism by cutting the Something Fancy Label Die from Basic White cardstock and stamped the Magnolia Mood greeting with Moody Mauve Ink.
- I stamped another small Magnolia Mood flower with Mossy Meadow ink on scrap Basic White cardstock and colored with the same Blends as above. It was cut with the Magnolia Mood Dies.
- I add Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back left side of the label and the flower, then added them to the left angled panel on front. I made sure the right panel would slide under the mechanism and hold the card closed.
- A trio of blue In Color Sparkle Dots were added to the background and label.
This fancy latch card looks so much harder to make than it does! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Stamping Friends website, then on to creative Debbie Henderson, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!
