Storybook moments and timeless plaid fun fold card

 A Little something different for today's inspiration....A different colour palette for spring.... shades of blue 💙. This colour palette was directed by the ever so cute blue watering can die cut from the Storybook moments  paper pack that effortlessly coordinates  with the gorgeous check papers in the Timeless plaid pattern paper pack!

The card is a very simple fold back fun fold. Starting with a piece of coordinating cardstocks measuring 14.85cm x 21cm and score at 10.5cm.  Next line up the top right edge of the card base with the edge of your trimmer and the bottom right edge with the gully and score diagonally.  Now this makes no sense so let me show you...

Once you've made your card base choose your pattern paper and cut to 9.5cm x 14.4cm.  Then follow the same process as for creating the fold on the card base but instead of scoring cut the paper. As the Timeless plaid pattern paper is a 6"x6" pack use the leftover piece for the inside of the card. Add a piece of white cardstock as a place to write your personal message. I also added the blue welly boots die cut to the inside for fun.

As this version of the fun fold is in the landscape orientation and I've chosen to add some quite weighty embellishments I have added a small scrap of coordinating cardstock to the bottom left corner of the card base on the inside just to give a little more stability when the card is standing. 

The fun spiral flowers are made by roughly cutting 3 different size circles out of cardstock then cutting into them in a spiral and rolling them to make the flowers . Here's a little video of how I created them.

The leaves are simply a piece of pattern paper folded in half and cut freehand. I then used the watering can die cut to sprinkle small brushed brass butterflies over the flowers. A simple linen thread bow and a sentiment and the card was complete. 

I would say that this card will need a larger envelope and will probably be best hand delivered due to the depth of the flowers .
