Fine Art Floral Bottom Fold Card

Today's post features a demonstration of a Bottom Fold Card. It's unique and fun and easy to make. In the video replay of my February 19th Facebook Live, you'll see me make a bottom fold card and see 2 more I made all featuring the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper. You'll even see a demonstration of using our new Gilded Leafing with Tear & Tape for an easy, beautiful embellishment on your handmade cards. So take a seat and enjoy this video which I hope you will find so helpful and inspiring that you'll want to make some bottom fold cards of your own.

Card Dimensions:

• Card base = 6 1/2" x 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4" on long side, fold on score line.
• Layer inside card = 5 1/4" x 4"
• DSP for front flap = 5 1/4" x 2"
• Stitched Nested Die Flap = Use 2nd largest die.

Adding Gilded Leafing Embellishment to the top and bottom of my Basic White card stock was easy to do using Tear & Tape. No heat tool needed for  Gilded Leafing technique.

The sentiment used on this card is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set. It's filled with wonderful sentiments for so many different reasons for sending cards and spreading love and caring.

For the card below, I used the same paper from the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper pack but switched out the Merry Merlot and Basic White card stocks for Night of Navy and Very Vanilla. I like both pairs of card stock with this particular DSP equally well.

Once again, I used Gilded Leafing and Tear & Tape to add a touch of elegance to my handmade card.

Poppy Parade is a wonderfully bright and cheerful color to coordinate with the two paper patterns you see on the birthday card below. These too are from the Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper.

Gold Glitter Enamel Dots are my embellishment of choice for this birthday card. To me, they scream "celebrate".
