Layered Thoughts Flip Flap Tri-Fold

Layered Thoughts Flip Flap Tri-Fold

This week, I’ve been playing with the Flip Flap Tri-Fold Fun Fold designs. I love trying different patterned papers and stamp set with the fold. Today, I use Stampin’ Up!’s Layered Thoughts Photopolymer Stamp Set. (Find it in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog). And, I’ve grabbed the Splash of Sparkles Designer Series Paper.

Here’s what the inside of the card looks like:

You Make Me Smile

You Make Me Smile

Stampin’ Up!’s Nature Walk Suite Collection was designed with nature in mind. The Nature Walk 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper contains a more neutral color palette, and the bundle lends itself to creating masculine cards.

Nature's Symphony Suite Collection

I wanted to change the look a little bit. And for today’s card, I created something with color in it using a simple ink blending technique. (Inspired by Pam Dolan.) Be sure to watch the video below to see all of the details.

Measurements and Details

  • Thick Basic White cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 `/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4.
  • Secret Sea cardstock panel measuring 5 1/4 x 4
  • Basic White cardstock panel measuring 3 3/4 x 5 die cut with the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies
  • Basic White cardstock panel measuring 3 3/4 x 5
  • Used small blending brushes to adhere colors of Daffodil Delight, Balmy Blue, and Fresh Freesia to the inside of the circle
  • Stamped image and sentiment in Secret Sea
  • Moody Palette Glossy Dots

Think about changing the colors to suit your interests and/or occasion. I feel this card also lends itself to a number of other sentiments. It works as an Easter and spring card, a birthday card, and even a sympathy card.
