All Aflutter envelope-flap style card with free project sheet & video

This neat fun fold card was created for my June card clubs. I call it an envelope flap closure.

Save

My colors include Darling Duckling, Blueberry Bushel with White. Wonderfully bright for summer! I used quite a few products here so I’ll list them for you.

• All Aflutter stamp and dies bundle seen here
• Darling Duckling 12 X 12″ Two-toned card stock
• Irresistible specialty designer paper seen here
• Lazy Daisy & Floral Spray 3D embossing folders
• 1 3/4″ and 2″ circle punches
• Blending Brushes
• a sanding block

Save

The Irresistible designer paper is cut into a 3 3/4″ square and scored in the center diagonally. It’s adhered to the back of the Blueberry Bushel card base before that is adhered to the larger Darling Duckling CS.

There are three patterns in this specialty Irresistible designer paper you can see here. When you add ink to this specialty paper it reveals the white shiny pattern.

You can see the two patterns I used on my card here.

And here’s the other version. Note both the blue Irresistible patterns and the embossing folders.

After we textured the 2-toned Darling Duckling card stock we sanded it with a sanding block (from my husband’s shop) to reveal more of the White core.

You can see the All Aflutter bundle here. I love having butterfly images with a coordinating punch! See it here.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, photos and supplies list. Click here to see it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card and one other made with the cute All Aflutter bundle.

I’ll share the second card with the free project sheet tomorrow.

  Today I'm sharing the second card I made on last week's video. I chose to feature the Winterly Tree Tops bundle.

  I love this color combination of Balmy Blue with Cherry Cobbler! 

  In the video I shared how to use our Watercolor Pencils along with our Blender Pens. It's a classic pairing that produces beautiful results with easy shading.  Watch the video here or below to see how it's done.

  The little white Snowflakes are from the Holiday catalog; they're called White Loose Snowflakes. Sadly they just ran out of stock but should return in a few weeks.  The White textured die-cut is from the Countryside Corners dies seen here.
