Measurements

Full list of supplies needed, listed below. A die cutting machine is needed for this card.
Card Base: Your Choice of Cardstock (see Shopping List and video below for the colors I used) 4 1/4″ h x 11″ w scored on the long-side at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″
Origami Square: Sunshine & Rainbows Sale-a-bration Paper 4″ x 4″
Binding Piece: Sunshine & Rainbows Sale-a-bration Paper 4″ h x 1 1/2″ w 1″ (I used scraps from Origami Square to coordinate)
Sentiment Layer: Basic White scrap
Inside Layer: 4″ x 4″ Basic White

Let’s Create

  1. Affix all stamps to Acrylic Blocks.
  2. Fold the Card Base in half using a Bone Folder to sharpen the crease. Then fold on the 4 1/4″ mark and use a Bone Folder to sharpen that crease.
  3. Make the Book Binding: Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere the 4 1/4″ h x 1 1/2″ w part of the Card Base front to the Card Base back.
  4. Use Stampin’ Seal to adhere the Binding Piece of Sunshine & Rainbows paper to the Book Binding part of the front.
  5. Make the Origami Square:
    1. Fold the 4″ x 4″ piece of Sunshine in Rainbows Paper in half. Then unfold it.
    2. Turn and fold in half the other way. Then unfold it.
    3. Fold each corner up to the center where there are crease marks from the two folds you made previously. Repeat until all corners are folded in. Then fold each corner tip, back on itself. See pictures.
  1. Use Paper Snips to fussy cut a Rainbow from the Sunshine & Rainbows paper.
  2. Attach Rainbow to center of Origami Square with a Stampin’ Dimensional.
  3. Use Stampin’ Seal to attach Origami Square to front of card.
  4. Stamp Sentiment from Color & Contour Stamp Set in coordinating ink color on Basic White scrap and then punch out with the Label Me Fancy Punch.
  5. Attach Sentiment to one of the Origami Square Flaps. Since the Origami Square is 3-D and will get smushed flat when you put it in the envelope, if you attach the Sentiment to two flaps, or the base, it will not flatten correctly in the envelope and will possibly create an additional crease causing your card to not sit correctly when removed from the envelope.
  6. Wrap Crinkle Seam Binding around the Book Binding and secure with a bow.
  7. Stamp and decorate the inside and attach with Stampin’ Seal.
  8. Decorate your envelope.
  9. So cute! Now send it to someone special.

Step It Up: Blessings of Home

What’s better than making one card? Making three cards, of course! We had fun stepping up these three cards, and we hope you have fun too, whether you make one card or all three! (Products referenced are linked below)

CASUAL

For our Diese Karte beweist: Du bist grandios card, we used both the stamps and the die cuts from the Blessings of Home bundle. We first stamped out a gorgeous floral arrangement in VersaMark ink, which we heat embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder and colored with Watercolor Pencils. We then die cut some lovely leaf trim using gold foil and stamped out a sentiment in Rich Razzleberry ink using the Special Moments Stamp Set. Finally, we tore the top and bottom of the panel behind the floral arrangement for texture.

AVID

We added Pattern Party Designer Series Paper and Gilded Gems to our Geweldig goed gedaan card for a nice pop of color. We then used the White Watercolor Pencil to add shading and dimension to our beautiful flowers. Finally, we die cut a fun label for our sentiment using the Meadow Dies.

ARTFULLY AVID

For our last project—Just a Card to Say You’re Amazing—we broke out the cardstock! We accented the top and bottom of the card with die cut Basic Borders in Rich Razzleberry; then we die cut the floral arrangement in white and the sentiment in Polished Pink. We finished off the card with some Gold 1/4″ (6.4 mm) Shimmer Ribbon. Isn’t it beautiful?
