Double Front Card

It has been a while since I have made a Double Front Card (at least that is what I know it as) and I thought I would kick off the last week of my “A Card a Day in May” challenge with something fun! I also used all new products on this card as well and am so happy with the end result!

The base of my card is the new In Color, Cinnamon Cider which is cut to 6 3/8 x 5 1/2. Score at 4 inches on the long side. I cut a layering strip of Cinnamon Cider card stock to 1 7/8 x 5 1/4 which I ran through the new Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder. This adhered to the little flap on the base of the card front.

The base for the inside card, Whisper White, is 8 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 inches on the long side.

I cut two pieces of Misty Moonlight to 2 3/4 x 4 1/4 for the front and inside decorative panels.

Cut two pieces of Whisper White to 2 1/2 x 4 to layer on top. This is where I did my fun stamping!

On the inside flap I added some DSP from the Flowers for Every Season 6x6 stack. It is 2 x 5 1/4. I added a second little strip to the card base which peeks through when the card is closed. It is 1 x 5 1/4.

Adhere the Whisper White card base to the Cinnamon Cider base making sure to keep a little bit of space between the folds. You can then add the two Misty Moonlight panels making sure that the second one (attached to the Whisper White base) is hidden behind the first one. Embellish your card as desired!

I used the Lovely You and Field of Flowers stamp sets on my card. The sentiments on Just Jade are stamped with Versamark and embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. I cut both out using the Tasteful Labels dies.

I added threads behind my sentiments that I deconstructed from the open weave ribbon found in the Forever Greenery Trim Combo pack. It might just be my favourite new trick. I have to replace that Metallic Thread with something! And finally the little green gems on the front are from the Flowers for Every Season gems collection. They really do finish off the front panel.

This is the inside view of the first panel. You can see how I added in the DSP and have attached the two Misty Moonlight panels so they line up. The second one is hidden until you open the card.

And finally the next flip takes you to the back base of the card where I included another sentiment found in the Lovely You stamp set.

Isn’t the detail in the thread and gems just the perfect touch? It really elevated the sophistication of this card!

You are my favourite! Create with Connie and Mary

This week we are sharing our favourite NEW stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! demonstrator pre-order (best part about being a demo, getting the inside scoop and getting stuff early!). I am really loving the Tasteful Touches stamp set. It is also a part of a bundle with the Tasteful Labels dies. The feather is my favourite image in this stamp set.

The feathers are so bright and vibrant that I wanted to keep the focus on them by keeping the sentiment neutral. The sentiment is stamped and embossed in Whisper White on Basic Black card stock. I added I a few ribbon and paper scraps behind for a little interest. You are the Best is cut out with a die from the Tasteful Labels die. Both the stamp set and the dies will be available in June with the new catalogue release.

I stamped the feathers in Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry and Granny Apple Green. After stamping I went over the feathers with my Aqua Painter to soften the stamped image. I then flicked my coordinating Stampin’ Write marker over each feather.
