Double Fold Sending Hugs ┃Inspiration Card

Happy Monday, Friends! On today’s blog, I’d like to share with you a “Double Fold & Glimmering” inspiration card made using Diagonal Stripes Hot Foil Plate, Perfect Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Perfect Sentiments Die for the glimmering look. Along with the hot foil plates, I’m using as well Joyful Bouquet Layering Stencil Set, Joyful Bouquet Stamp Set and Joyful Bouquet Die to add the floral touch +Essentials: Lacey Edgers 1 Die Set to add the lacey edge. Besides those sets, I’ve used Metallic Pearls -Gold to embellish the card and PFS- Inks to add those soft and delicate pop of colors. So, without further ado let’s jump right into the step-by-step for how I made it ↓

Therefore, this card has a little extra work of love, thus I started off by doing the hot foil stamping steps first using white cardstock along with Diagonal Stripes Hot Foil Plate and Perfect Sentiments Hot Foil Plate + Glimmer Hot Foil Roll - Polished Brass in conjunction of my Glimmer Hot Foil System Platform and Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine. Having that said, as soon as I had finished the hot foil stamping, I went ahead to use Perfect Sentiments Die to die-cut the hot foil stamping sentiments out of the cardstock, and once I had that step done, I went ahead to put them off to the side while I proceeded to create the card base.

Thus, I went ahead to adhere together with double-sided adhesive two A2 size side folding white card bases, and then I went ahead to trim off 1/8” of an inch from the lower flap using my Comfort Paper Trimmer. Next, I went ahead to line up over the top card base flap one of the dies including in Essentials: Lacey Edgers 1 Die Set at the 1-7/8” inches point mark (from the right folding to the edge.) And, after I got them line up, I went ahead to run them through the die-cut machine to add the lacey edge to the top flap.

Moving on, as soon as I had finished adding the lacey edge to the card base, I went ahead to adhere down with double-sided adhesive the hot foil stamping background over the card lower flap. Next, I trimmed down a smaller-narrow white panel, which I right afterwards got it mounted over the top card flap using craft foam adhesive to add a bit of dimension. So, after having the card base completed, I went ahead to put it aside while I started inking it up the floral cluster for the card.

As, for the floral cluster, I used my Make Art - Stay-tion and a large piece of white cardstock along with the 6 stencils including in Joyful Bouquet Layering Stencil Set + the following color ink combination; Ballet Slipper Ink, Peach Fuzz Ink, Coral Reef Ink, Marigold Ink for the flowers + Grassy Knoll Ink, Olive Ink with touch of Warm Buff Ink for the leaves. Next, after I had finished inking up the floral cluster, I went ahead to place the card panel inside my Memory MISTI and then, I lined up over it coordinating stamp image which is including in Joyful Bouquet Stamp Set. Having that said, once I had them line up, I proceeded to get the outlined stamp images stamped twice over the cardstock panel using Warm Buff Ink as I was looking to achieve a subtle-neutral stamping look.

So, as soon as I had finished the stamping for the floral clusters, I went ahead to use their coordinating Joyful Bouquet Die to die -cut them out of the cardstock. And, once I had that done, I got the largest floral cluster adhered to the top card flap using square foam adhesives to add a bit of dimension. Also, I adhered down the sending hugs hot foil stamping card sentiment in the lower side of the top card flap using square foam adhesives as well to add more dimension and then, I got glued down a tied bow over the floral cluster. A tied bow, which I’ve had created using a large piece of DMC in Metallic Gold.

Lastly, I finished the card off by gluing down here and there some Metallic Pearls -Gold to add even more shine to the card.
