Color and Contour - Soft Succulent Gate Fold

This is another Gate Fold Technique I learned from Carol Hickman's video.  I wanted to make one with the new In-Color Soft Succulent and I also used the new Hand-Penned DSP.  Although Soft Succulent is not one of the colors in the Designer Series Paper, I thought it went well with it anyway.  The greens in the DSP are Mint Melody, Garden Green, and Pool Party.  Here are my instructions:

Stamp Set:  Color and Contour

Cardstock:  Soft Succulent, Basic White, and Hand-Penned DSP

Ink:  Soft Succulent

Other:  Stampin’ Cut and Emboss Machine, Scalloped Contours Dies, Paper Trimmer, Bone Folder, 3/8” Open Weave Soft Succulent Ribbon, 2021-2023 In-Color Jewels, Glue Dots, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Dimensionals

 

1.     The base of the card is Soft Succulent cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 2-1/8” and 6-3/8” to form a gatefold.  (or score at 2-1/8” at both ends).  Use the Bone Folder to crease the score lines.

2.    Use the third Largest Scalloped Contour Die to die-cut two Soft Succulent scalloped rectangles and one Basic White rectangle.

3.    Adhere the 1-15/16” x 3-1/4” DSP to the two Soft Succulent Scalloped rectangles with adhesive (Multipurpose Glue or Stampin’ Seal).

4.    Ink up the stem/leaf flower outline image with Soft Succulent on the Basic White rectangle.  Using the 2-step stamping method, ink up the solid flower image with Soft Succulent ink and stamp off once so it’s not as bold.  It’s abstract, so it won’t line up perfectly.

5.    Use the largest Scalloped Contour Die to die-cut Basic White for the inside of the card.  Ink up the outline of the flower with Soft Succulent and stamp it in the lower right of the Basic White die.

6.    Only adhere one-third of each of the two rectangles with adhesive and put one at top and one at the bottom of the card so it’s opposite of both sides.

7.    For the top Basic White scalloped Rectangle, add Dimensionals only at the top one-third so it will hang down.

8.    Add the ribbon bow with a Glue Dot.

9.    Add three In-Color Jewels.
