Thoughtful Journey Suite showcased by Judith; our Artist of the Month

Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  This month Judith chose the Thoughtful Journey suite to showcase. 

Today I'm sharing a few of her pretty cards. 

May Judith diagonal Save

This card has is a fancy fold card that has two folds. The Pretty in Pink card base is cut off at an angle and DSP is added. The White front layer is actually a folded piece that folds down over the front diagonal layer.  Very cool and not difficult either.

Measurements:

  • Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the front half on the diagonal from bottom left to upper right. 
  • White 8 1/2" X 3" scored at 4 1/4"
  • DSP 5 3/8" X 4 1/8" cut in half on the diagonal

    The way she attached the mini envelope across the front 'bridge' is so neat.  Here are the directions she shared with me:

    The dimensions are:
    • 8-1/2 x 5-1/2 cardstock in Evening Evergreen
    • On 8-1/2 side score down 1/4, 1, 1-3/4, 2-1/2  6, 6-3/4, 7-1/2 and 8-1/4.
    • Banish all score lines toward the center
    • DSP strips are 5/8" X 5 1/4" and the center DSP is 1 3/4" X 5 1/4", the bridge piece across is 5/8" X 3 3/8"  

    It folds flat to fit in a A2 size envelope.  

    Oct Paula Boughsof Holly Save

    Products used include the Mini Pocket Envelope die, the tag was Tailor Made tags and the Rectangular Postage Stamp punch for the greeting. She also added the Flat Jingle Bells on page 27 of the Holiday catalog and the Wintry 3D embossing folder for the texture on the pocket. 

    The tag pulls out of the pocket for even more interest.

    She used Starry Sky and White card stock with beautiful Silver embossing on the greeting and some of our gorgeous Silver mesh ribbon under the center panel.
