Oh, the Scenic Coast Speicialty Designer Series- so beautiful! I wanted to show the gorgeous hues of purple on this card. I used a Highland Heather card base on one and a Timid Tiger card Base on the other while keeping the lighthouse Highland Heather but now as I see it, I wish I had made one Timid Tiger, too!

Make sure to watch the video as the “simple” fold on the inside is easy to mess up! LOL…says the demo who had to restart the video when she came to that point!

Here is how you cut out the lighthouse circle from card stock to adhere to the cut out circle with the DSP on it. Use the largest Stylish Shapes Circle Die then lay the lighthouse die on the die cut circle right inside the stitching. It is very delicate! Make sure your line up your lighthouse straight up with the horizontal sunset.

Please note that this card folds totally flat to go inside an A2 envelope but if does not go completely flat on the table when opened. Someone commented on Youtube they would not make a card that does not fold flat. I replied that is does go flat to go in envelope but not when lying on the table. You can still easily write your message on the inside right flat:)

Measurements: Card Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″, Inside White folded mechanism: 5-1/4″ x 8″ scored at 2″, 4″, and 6″ Adhere as seen in the video!

Here’s a fun shadow box technique to try with your stamping goodies- use any paper you have to create a fun eye catching card! I used a 3″ x 3″ piece of the Moonlit Flora with the Fern & Flora Bundle.

I ran everything through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine before adhering to the card. I did use a retired 3D Fern Embossing Folder but there is a really cool one current called Fern & Flora with fun little fern curls in it! I just didn’t have one yet….my husband would laugh at that!!

Watch this video to see how I made it!

I love the Fern & Flora Bundle- it’s really pretty!

See all those little dies that look like bows? They make 3D posies…hence the name flora!

Measurements: DSP: 3″ square cut into four 1-1/2″ squares, (4) 1-1/2″ Secret Sea squares, Golden Glow square: 3-5/8″ and rectangle: 1-1/8″ x 3-5/8″, Old Olive Panel: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″, Inside white: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

How fun is this card? I just love the colors in the NEW Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper- it reminds me of a party so I pulled out my NEW Stampin’ UP! Balloon Festoon Bundle and the Party Banner Dies!

I did change the Lost Lagoon balloons to Pool Party on my cards prepped for my class as it was a tad brighter but I still love the Lost Lagoon, too! Here is a video showing how AH-MAZING both the Balloon Festoon and the Party Dies are…they are perfect for cards but go way beyond cards with the size of the dies….just amazing how you could make great banners with them!!!

Did you see how many dies are in the Stampin’ UP! Balloon Festoon and the Party Banner Dies?!?!?!? And I just used the ones that fit on a card…imagine scrapbooking with them…or decorating a room for a fun party! To create any shaped card, just place the die cutting edge above or off the scored fold:)

I like the strings placed above the end of the balloon tie on the card below, don’t you? The Array of Dots are just so sweet and versatile with the colors in it!

A festive inside…sorry that the whites don’t match up? Hmmm…I must have used two different thick whites I have or took pics at different times of the day?
