Flowing Flowers Double Dutch Door Card for the Pals Blog Hop

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop – this month, the theme is Birthday Bash. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, we would appreciate your comments because we enjoy hearing from you. Before you go, look for the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I just love making easy fun fold cards! When I made my first Double Dutch Door card, I just loved it and decided to give it another try. For my card today, I made one using the Flowing Flowers stamp set and two different designer papers. As I began to write this post, I am pretty sure that my heart skipped a beat, thinking I had made an error with my colors. However, I looked at them again and there was only one issue. If you can see it, you have a great eye for color!

My secrets to making this Quiet Meadow project

• Firstly, I thought I would share the Splitcoaststampers tutorial that guided me, even though my card dimensions are slightly different.
• The card base is 4-1/2″ x 10″ and scored at 6.”
  • Top Flap:
    • White: 4-1/4″ x 3-3/4″
    • DSP: 4-1/8″ x 3-5/8″
  • One piece of cardstock, cut 2″ x 9″ and scored at 2-1/4″ on both ends. I would suggest that you score one end then wrap it around the card to mark the other side to score for accuracy.
  • Bottom Flaps:
    • White: 1-3/4″ x 2″
    • DSP: 1-5/8″ x 1-7/8″

Now, the FUN Part!

• I took the gorgeous floral image and stamped it twice with VersaMark and Pale Papaya ink, then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. After that, I fussy cut one and cut the other one with Encircled In Beauty dies. Because I didn’t think it was quite big enough, I made a 4″ white square and layered the New Horizons DSP on top – exactly what I wanted!
• Then, I layered the ribbon as a “lazy bow” onto the panel before attaching the flowers.
• Lastly, I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment, then cropped it out with the Stitched Rectangle. Because it needed just a little “sumthin-sumthin”, I cut out the cut little die piece from Painted Labels and glued it to the back before popping it up onto the dimensionals.
• Finally, I added three little Polished Dots to the top flower.

Card Inside

• Center Panel:
  • White: 4-1/4″ x 5-3/4″
  • DSP: 4-1/8″ x 5-5/8″
• Bottom Flaps:
  • White: 1-3/4″ x 2″
  • DSP: 1-5/8″ x 1-7/8″

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 9th. Our theme will be Cute Critters where our Design Team creates a project with any kind of animals, birds, butterflies or insects.
