Fun fold hidden messages card - Berry delight

 

Hello everyone and welcome to yet another craft along tuesday. Wow and it's now February already can you believe it..... where did January go!

Today I have a really lovely fold for you, well it's not really a fold more a cut card, and I'm using the 'Berry delightful' designer series paper which comes with a stampset called 'Berry blessings' this is one of the sale a bration items that are available free until the 28th february with a qualifyling spend of £90. For the card I'm making with my ladies I've not used the stampset but I have made a different one using it, whch I will show you at the end. So let's begin with what we will need and hopefully this week I will get the measurements right and not have to go and correct them oooops sorry!

Materials needed:

Poppy parade cardstock

1pc - 5-3/4" x 8-1/4" scored at 4-1/8" for card base

1pc - 1" x 4" for the front banner

1pc - 2-5/8" x 2-5/8" to die cut the circle (which is approx 2-1/2")

Granny apple green cardstock

1pc - 1-1/4" x 5" for the front banner

1pc - 1" x 4" for the inside middle banner

Basic white cardstock

1pc - 3/4" x 3" for the front banner

1pc - 3/4" x 3-3/4" for the inside middle banner

1pc - 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" to die cut the circle (which is approx 2-1/8")

1pc - 2-1/2" x 4" for the inside of card

Berry delightful dsp

1pc - 4" x 5-5/8" for the front of card

Sheet with strawberries on for fussy cutting

Card Recipe:

1. Fold and burnish your card base. Glue the dsp to the front of it and leave to dry, once dry cut each side of the front panel, from each side at 1-1/2" (from the score line right to the bottom) this will leave the card front having 3 sections.

2. Now having cut, die cut and punched all of the pieces that are needed for the card start glueing them into place. Fold the middle section of the front so it's tucked up inside the card, like below, glue the green banner into place.

3. Now glue the red banner, stamp the sentiment (I've used the sentiment from the 'Sweet strawberry' stampset for mine), using Poppy parade ink, onto the white banner, which only needs punching with the banner punch at one end, as the other end is going to be hidden and then glue the red circle into place , making sure you only put glue where needed.

4. Open the card up and start working on the middle panel attaching the green banner into  place, by laying it wrong side up onto the reverse of the front banner and this will enable you to see where the glue needs to go before you shut the card up. See below.

Bring the middle panel up to glue to the banner.

This is what it looks like once in place.

5. Stamp the sentiment onto the white banner and then glue it in place. Fussy cut out the tiny flowers from the strawberry paper and glue these into place.

6. Now lift the middle panel up and attach the white piece of card for the inside where the greeting can be wrote for the recipient of the card.

7. Now all that remains to be done is the fussy cutting of all of the strawberries that are required and these are then attached to the white circle which is glued onto the red circle using dimsensionals. There is also a tiny strawberry which is fussy cut and attached to the left side of the card using a mini dimensional, having it hanging over just slightly, as I think it gives the whole look a bit more 3D effect.

That's the card complete and what I really love about it is you have 2 hidden sections that you can place messages onto, and it's quite an easy card to make too.

Below I've used the 'Berry blessings' stampset and Pacific point / Garden green ink along with a different sheet of the papers.

Just love the colours of this one but unfortunately when I'm sending kits out in the post for my ladies I can't give them any of the stamped images as it's against Stampin' Up! policy so I could only show them this, as most of it is stamped and fussy cut.

Hope you enjoyed todays project although it was a bit long drawn it is actually a very quick and easy card to make so I hope you give it a go. Stay safe everyone until next time.... Keep crafting!!!
