Collar Fold Card – LICI-B-07

Still working on the Everyday Enchantment DSP that I have loved and now chopped.  I chopped it in 5-1/4” strips then cut the strips into 4” pieces.  Kept the leftover strips too.  I have stored them in a Full Wide Stamp case. Kylie Bertucci has given us permission to Love It Chop It!  Any DSP would work but its nice to use up retired stuff!

Stamps: Something Good to Eat (Sept 2016 PP), So Hoppy Together (SAB 2019), Dragonfly Dreams (inside).

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Everyday Enchantment DSP (SAB 2012), Lucky Limeade, Peek a Boo Peach.

Ink: Light Old Olive Blends, Dark Old Olive Blends, Black, Peek a Boo Peach marker, Lemon Lime Twist (on envelope).

Tools: Everyday Enchantment brad, Stamparatus, bone folder, purchased envelope, sponge, dimensionals, Tombow adhesive, snail adhesive, regular and mini glue dots, black rhinestones, 9” black seam binding ribbon,

Punches/Dies: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering circle Dies, Trio Flower punch, Silent Setter.

Started with a 4″ x 5-1/4″ DSP from my Love It Chop It stash.  Using the trimmer, make a 1-3/4″ long cut mid-height (2-5/8″) from top edge.  

Use the scoring blade on the trimmer to score from the top and bottom corners to the endpoint of the cut.  That made it easy to fold back the corners.  Fold the two flaps to the right side.  Slightly curl both points. 

Cut Lucky Limeade cardstock 5-1/2” x 4-1/4”.  Stamp phrase from the Something Good to Eat stamp set with Black ink.  Do NOT adhere to card front until we have placed the brad in place.   Adhere panel to the DSP.  Place a Dimensional behind each flap, close to the fold.

Stamp sitting frog with Black ink on to a scrap of Very Vanilla. Die cut with the 2nd smallest Stitched Shape die.  Die cut Peek a Boo Peach cardstock using the scallop circle die and die cut a Lucky Limeade circle

Color the frog with the Blends and marker.

Now make a Brad Bow.  There is a good Tutorial here.

Lay the frog on the front panel to determine where to place the brad.  Mark brad placement with a pencil.  Punch a hole with the Silent Setter.

Adhere the frog to the card front. 

To add the Brad Bow, insert the prongs in the cardstock. Open brad on back side of the cardstock.  Adjust bow as you like and trim the ends.  Adhere panel to the card front.  Add three flowers from Peek a Boo Peach cardstock. 

Add a phrase to the inside with black ink and stamp an envelope.

Stamp a phrase to the inside.  Punch a couple of small daisies from the scrap of leftover DSP.  Adhere around the phrase.  Punch a couple of ¼” Peek a Boo Peach circles for the centers.

I have loved and now chopped the entire package of my Everyday Enchantment DSP from 2012!  I chopped it in 5-1/4” strips then cut the strips into 4” pieces.  Kept the leftover strips too.  I cut the cardboard backing from the DSP to fit in a Full Wide Stamp case. I checked my ribbons to see what I had that matched and taped a small piece to the cardboard.  Stored all the chopped DSP in a Full Wide Stamp case.

I used a full DSP panel from my Love It Chop It stash (5-1/4” x 4”) then basically copied my Rhino card from Christine’s Stamping Spot.  She has a great video on how she did it so no need for me to go into details.

I used a little Wink of Stella on the leaves.

I do love how much better the Blends seem to blend by coloring twice.

To create an open circle, tape the 2 largest Stitched Shape dies together.  Die cut one from Pool Party cardstock and another from Basic Gray cardstock.

Stamp phrase on the negative Pool Party circle.  Add to inside of card.  Stamp an envelope.

Punches/Dies: Stitched Shapes Framelits, Petals and More Dies, Lace Ribbon die, Trio Flower punch.

Stamped the phrase on a Very Vanilla panel in Soft Suede ink then ran it through the Subtle EF.

The markers were too harsh, and the Poppy Parade Blends were too pink to color the bird so I inked the large water/mountain image from the Waterfront stamp set in Poppy Parade, stamped it off then stamped over the bird. 

I bought the Lace Ribbon die from a friend.  Once I die cut it, I did cut it in half before adhering it to one long edge of the DSP strip. 

Used an older punch to punch the flowers.  Added pearls to each one.

Stamp a phrase from the High Tide stamp set to the inside.  Stamp the front of the envelope.
