Brushed With Beauty is one of my all-time favorites. I just love the colors and the vibrancy and the nature images. I came across this fun fold the other day on Pinterest and just had to give it a ‘go’ using this paper. It coordinates with Petals of Beauty bundle & Words of Beauty bundle, as an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE back in November. I’m surprised the other but the same I have any remaining paper! I’m sharing two cards today using different patterns in this paper pack – each so different from the other but the very same fun fold.

Card one is made with Darling Duckling for the card base and a layer of Early Espresso behind the DSP on the card front. I stamped and die cut leaf images using the Petals of Beauty bundle. The sentiment is from Words of Beauty stamp set & die cut using a Die from the coordinating bundle. The embellishments are Opal Rounds from the Mediterranean Blooms suite of products. On the inside, I again stamped in stamped off Early Espresso ink for the leaf image and full strength for the sentiment (Words of Beauty stamp set). I layered these Basic White ‘book pages’ with Early Espresso card stock.

For card 2 – remember it’s still the same Brushed With Beauty DSP pack. The card base here is Petal Pink and the DSP is layered on Mossy Meadow. The flower is die cut using the Petals of Beauty Dies: I stamped the flower in Petal Pink ink directly on the DSP & die cut the that, then die cut the white separately. The words are from Words of Beauty and die cut with the Dies: mossy Meadow for the shadow and Brushed with Beauty for the words themselves. For embellishments I used Low Profile Dots from Mixed Media Florals suite of products. On the inside, the words are stamped in Mossy Meadow ink using the Words of Beauty stamp set and the flower in Petal Pink ink with the Petals of Beauty stamp set and more Low Profile Dots.

Instructions how to make this card:

• card base is 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
• DSP is 5 1/4 x 8 1/4:
  • with long side at top, score at 4 1/8, burnish gently
    • with short side at top, & DSP at 1″ mark, cut between 1″ & 7 1/4″, repeat for other side
      • with long side at top again, line up at 1″ & score between the long cuts at 1″ & 1 1/2″: repeat for other side. With long side still at top, score at 2″ in the upper & lower 1″ sections. Repeat for other side. Burnish all score lines gently… valley (1″), mountain (1 1/2″), valley (2″), mountain (for 1″ section; valley for center section), valley (other 2″ score), mountain (other 1 1/2 score), valley (final 1″ score.) It should look like photo below

• With card base flat, adhere one ‘end’ on the DSP (between the 2″ and 1″ score lines): repeat for other end.
• Close card so all score lines fold as required – see photo below

Now decorate:

• Card front layers: card stock is 3 7/8 x 5 1/8; DSP layer is 3 3/4 x 5 & added to card front with dimensionals
• Card inside layers: card stock is 2 1/2 x 3 1/8; Basic White is 2 3/8 x 3. ( I used a card stock layer only on the Darling Duckling card)

Envelopes…
