Project no. 2:  A Flip Fold Photo & Card Booklet

 

Heartfelt Creation supplies used:

 

Other supplies used:

Die cutting machine, Spellbinders Wonkey rectangles die, Spellbinders Fancy Lattice die, Spellbinders 5″x7″ Mystical Embrace die, spellbinders Fancy Tag 2, fussy cutting scissors, clear rock candy glitter, Elezabeth double sided adhesive sheet, glue, glue dots, seamed binding ribbon, 3 shades of distress inks Spun Sugar, Seedless Preserves, Scattered Strw, Peeled Paint and Aged Mohaghany, Plum And black archival inks.

 

Here are the instructions for…

 

The front panel of the card:

I have used Spellbinders Mystical Embrace die as a base for the front panel of my flip fold card booklet.Mat a die cut with designer paper from Cascading Fuschia Collection and fussy cut neatly. Cut out two frames using spellbinders Wonky rectangle and adhere Elizabeth craft double-sided adhesive sheet in between. Sprinkle clear rock candy glitter and dust extra. Burnish a little with your fingers for extra shine.Don’t forget to chk the close-ups pics of the same. I promise you will fall in love with these.

 

The layered flowers:

For the main focal image stamp the image from HFC Fuchsia Cluster 6 times. Visualize the image, paint separate parts of the image taking the complete image as your first layer and top leaves and sepals of the flowers as the final layer. Adhere all the layers with glue dots. You can use any medium to color the image. I have used various shades of distress inks like Spun Sugar, worn lipstick and Picked Raspberry for flowers and Peeled paint, Scattered Straw and Aged Mahogany for leaves.

 

The card’s base:

For the card’s base I have used 7″ x 21″ panel from HFC Pocket and HFC Flip Fold Inserts B – White kit. I adhered an extra panel of 6 1/4″ to the back and kept it open from the top so that it can be used as an  additional  pocket to hold larger pictures. A die cut from HC Regal and Pocket die is attached on the top of the tag which can hold 2 pictures. All the inside panels are layered with HFC CascadingFuchsia  Designer Pattern Papers. . I have added an extra dimension to the front fold of the album with fussy cut images from the designer paper itself.

 

The 3D Fuschia flowers:

I have  made these flowers using HC Fuschia cling stamp and HFC Cascading Fucshia die. The images are first stamped with plum archival ink and then aligned to cut through cutting machine using Cascading Fuschia die. For full instructions on how to shape Fuschias, check out Emma Lou Beechy’s video below.  

The ribbon:

Squeesh Seedless Preserves and Spun Sugar Distress Inks on the craft sheet, roll seemed binding ribbon, mist it with water and heat set it. Adhere the ribbon below front fold panel in the front and below the back panel.    Here is the card how it looks from the front.

Also chk the beauty of clear rock candy glitter layer in between the diecut layers.  I promise its more beautiful if seen in person.

Few more pics to show you all the layers that I have created to the top panel  and between top panel and front fold of the booklet.  Yes… I love my fussy cutting and love doing it too. The butterfly and the sentiments are fussy cut from the designer paper itself and are adhered using glue dots.

 

Here is the pic to show how it opens.

Did you notice something ?? I have adhered an extra half die cut of Mystical Embrace on the back of the top panel. Its adding an extra neatness on the back of my card too 🙂 That’s something that I never avoid.
