Good morning – we had a team meeting yesterday by ZOOM or in person, whichever folks could do and several of us presented or demonstrated a card. This was mine…

This card uses several NEW ONLINE EXCLUSIVE items: Simply Zinnia Bundle, Flowering Zinnias 12 x 12 DSP and Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. You can see three of the DSP patterns on the front of this card. They go from soft to vivid bright.

To make this card: Cut the card base (here I used Melon Mambo) 4 1/4 x 11 and score at 2 1/8 & 5 1/2. Burnish in a mountain. valley – the front folds back on itself and the other folds to the inside. On the 4 1/4 side and the end with the first score, mark the center point on the edge at 2 1/8. Cut from first score line to that center point, both from the top & the bottom, creating a point at that end. This is the flip end where the die cut flower will be placed. Cut DSP panels from the Flowering Zinnias DSP: 2 7/8 x 2 7/8 for the flip; 3 1/4 x 4 1/8 for the front left behind the flip; and 5 3/8 x 4 1/8 for the far right side (that’s the green panel in the photo). Adhere each of those to their respective places.

Using the Simply Zinnia Dies, create die cuts for the flower: Melon Mambo (2 1/4 x 2 1/4) for the backing of the flower petals; Flirty Flamingo (2 1/4 x 2) for the back petals layer; Petal Pink (2 1/4 x 2) top petals layer; scrap of Daffodil Delight for flower center and scrap of Lemon Lolly for the overlay of the floral center. Curl the petals with a bone folder then adhere together: Flirty Flamingo petals to Melon Mambo flower base with liquid glue; Petal Pink to Flirty Flamingo with dimensional; then add flower centers with liquid glue. Yay – the flower itself is complete!

With the card closed (as shown) adhere flower petal to the flip of the card, high enough and off the flip a bit so it does not go beyond the card edges. Remember only the bottom portion of the flower should be adhered to the flip! :O) Die cut the two stems (Mossy Meadow & Lemon Lime Twist adhering slightly together to create a shadow, then to the card front adhering under the flower head and just to the flip portion. Stamp the double leaf in Lemon Lime Twist ink on Lemon Lime Twist card stock and die cut with the appropriate die from Simply Zinnia Dies. Adhere to flip panel as shown. Stamp the sentiment from Simply Zinnia stamp set in Melon Mambo ink, trim edges, adhere to flip with dimensionals. Add three Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins and the card front is complete.

For the inside…

Here you see another panel of the DSP on the inside – it is 3 1/4 x 4 1/8. Adhere it to the inside of the card base. Cut a panel of Basic White 3 1/8 x 4 and stamp with the leaf in Lemon Lime Twist ink; adhere to the inside panel as shown.

For the envelope…

Adhere more of the Flowering Zinnias DSP to the envelope flap and trim. On the envelope front, stamp the double leaf image in Lemon Lime Twist ink – and your card is ready for most any occasion.
