Flowering Zinnias Fancy Fold
May 23, 2024
The Flowering Zinnias DSP from the Online Exclusives range has to be 0ne of my favourite paper packs. The colours are simply gorgeous - bright, summery and they make you smile.
In the pack is this fabulous sheet that provides 2 border strips. It would be fabulous as a border on a scrapbook page or of course, cut into card fronts.
However, I wanted to use the complete border or most of it at least and this design by Rachel Tessman fitted the bill perfectly.
Rachel has named it the Twist Corner Tri-fold card. It starts in portrait style as you see in the photo above, but morphs into a tri-fold landscape card that displays the beautiful Zinnia border. I've changed up the measurements to be closer to a metric size card and made the message panel a little larger as well. I love that the bright Lemon Lime Twist print on the reverse side is also displayed and I've used it as an accent together with a pop of Berry Burst.
When you open the front panel and turn it to landscape the border starts to unfold. I've used my favourite birthday greeting from the Unbounded Love stamp set and cropped it with the pierced label die from the Unbounded Love Dies and trimmed it with another label cropped from Lemon Lime Twist cardstock. The Berry Burst panel on the right has been dry embossed with the cross-hatch design from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders and embellished with a fussy cut Zinnia from another of the sheets. The narrow strip of Lemon Lime Twist print is the piece I cut off the border panel to form the card base, so all 12" (30.5cm) of the border has been used.
The photo above shows the card fully extended. I've added an embossed strip trimmed with Lemon Lime Twist to host the 'Celebrate' cropped from Berry Burst card stock using the Wanted To Say Dies. The writing panel is trimmed with a Lemon Lime Twist mat and another fussy cut Zinnia. Lots of Brushed Brass Butterflies have been sprinkled around the flowers.
This card has a real 'wow' and the ladies enjoyed making it in our class last week.
