Shaped Fun Fold - Elizabeth Craft Designs

Hi and Welcome!

Todays card is a flower pot fun fold. I used the beautiful Dahlia die to create my pretty sunflowers. Thank you to Els Van de Burgt, Liz Gaze and Angelica Turner for all of the beautiful designs that enabled me to put together this card.

This pretty flower pot card was a lot of fun to make.

Cut a piece of terracotta colored cardstock 8 1/2 x 4". Score at 3 1/2 and 7" and fold as shown.

Mark at 1/2" in on both sides of the bottom, place in trimmer and cut up at an angle from the 1/2" mark om the bottom to the top fold. Repeat on the other side. This gives you the flower pot shape.

Use a decorative punch on the top flap and ink all of the edges.

Add 1/8" tape to both sides if the flower pot to close it. Note: the top remains open.

Cut the decorative die from the Delicate Fancy Purse from terracotta cardstock. Adhere 2 together and set aside. Adhere the third one to the front of the flower pot under the top flap.

Adding the dimensional dots or squares under the flap gives it more dimension.

Cut terracotta cardstock 1 x 7" and score at 2", 3", 4" and 6". Add glue to the 1" end and adhere to the other end which will form a triangle. Fold in the middle and adhere this stand to the back of the flower pot card base.

Love how this works.

Cut terracotta cardstock 3 1/2 x 3 1/2". Measure 1/2" in on both sides of the bottom and use a trimmer to cut at an angle from the 1/2 mark up to the corner on both sides. Cut cream cardstock 3 x 3" and cut at an angle the same way. Stamp a sentiment on the cream cardstock and adhere the two together. Adhere the other decorative diecut to the top of the sentiment as shown.
(Important! Just add a thin line of glue to the top of the flower pot shape because you wnat the decorative die to hang over when inserted.)

Diecut a circle to adhere to the back of the decorative die for support. This will also help to hide the glue on the back of the flowers.

The card measures 5 x 7" with the flowers.

A view of the back when its all together.

Diecut, color and shape the flowers and leaves. Spray with Imagine Sheer Shimmer Craft Spray - Sparkle. Assemble the flowers, add brown beads to the flower centers and adhere to the decorative die using hot glue.

Hi and Welcome!

It's July 1st and we're in the middle of a heat wave.

Cut Pink cardstock 8 1/2 x 5 1/2", score at 4 1/4" on the long side. Place in the paper timmer at an angle and cut from the score line to the outer corner to create diagonal front. Cut Bohemian Rose cardstock 4 x 5 1/4", place in the paper trimmer and in half on the diagonal. Ink the edges and adhere one half to the diagonal front and save the other half for another joy fold card. Cut white cardstock 4 x 5 1/4", dry emboss and adhere to the inside of the card. Cut pink cardstock 3 1/4 x 8 1/4" and score at 4 1/4". Cut white cardstock 3 x 4", dry emboss and adhere to the front of this tent folded insert. Now adhere to the inside making sure that the diagonal front closes over it.

Diecut, color and shape the roses and the greenery. Assemble the roses and create a pretty cluster on the front of the card.

Stamp the sentiment on white cardstock, fussy cut and adhere under the roses using dimensional dots.

I love this fun fold. It's so easy and yet it creates a really interesting card.

Yes, my hubby likes it when I add flowers to his cards.
