Painted Petal Point Card

 

I love special fold cards — they seem like such a treat.  When I was at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference last month a fellow demonstrator, Pat Ertman, gave my sister, Tina Rappe, a card to say thank you for a little gift Tina sent to Pat.  The card Tina received had this fold.  I thought it was great to share at my Fast & Fabulous Card Class last week.
Painted Petals Point FoldYes, this card really is Fast & Fabulous.  The base of the card is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" of Melon Mambo.  The designer paper point are from the Back to Black DSP.  I cut the DSP 2 1/2" x 4" and scored the long edge at 1/2".  Then you create the point by folding the top corners at an angle to touch the score line. 

Adhere the 1/2" scored edge to the back of the Basic Black layer and attach to the Melon Mambo card base.  Add a layer of Wild Wasabi which I stamped the inside words on. 

I used the Painted Petals stamp set to stamp the leaves/stems in Wild Wasabi ink and the flower petals in Melon Mambo ink.

Here is the inside of the card:

To a Classic Birthday Greeting

Happy Birthday to a Classic — I think this is a perfect saying for a Masculine card.
Happy Birthday ClassicThe stamp set featured on this card is Guy Greetings.  I am really enjoying working with this stamp set.  The base of the card is Cajun Craze with a layer of Natural Ivory cardstock.  I used the Adventure Bound DSP Stack for the plaid and dotted layers.  I added a piece of the 7/8" Cotton Ribbon to cover the DSP seam and give the card a little more dimension.  I stamped the car with Early Espresso ink and the Happy Birthday with Cajun Craze ink on Natural Ivory cardstock.  I sponged Early Espresso around the edges.  This was adhered to a Cajun Craze layer and attached to the card front with dimensionals.  I stamped To a Classic with Cajun Craze ink, sponged the edges with Early Espresso and adhered that to the front of the card with dimensionals.

Big DayThe base of this card is Coastal Cabana (one of my favorite colors) with a layer of Early Espresso.  The used the Tiny Triangles embossing folder on the second Coastal Cabana layer.  To this layer I added a piece of Best Year Ever DSP (also a FREE choice with a $50 order) and a piece of Early Espresso 1/4" ribbon.  I cut out a starburst framelit from Early Espresso cardstock.  Next I stamped the birthday cake and candles on a 2 1/2" Whisper White circle using Memento ink.  I colored the cake using Blendabilities — Daffodil Delight, Calypso Coral and Coastal Cabana.  I stamped Happy Birthday with Early Espresso ink on Whisper White cardstock and used the Honeycomb Punch to make the banner ends.  This card was pretty quick to make and gives a real WOW factor to the recipient.
