Two Cool Fun Front Flap Cards

Hi Stamping Friends!
 
Every month I do a swap with my Too Cool Team and I just received two cards that have a fun front flap that were simple to make and so, so pretty!  I couldn't wait to share them with you today!

Blossoms in bloom fancy front flap - shinn 1
Swap Card Created by Janet Shinn.
 
Janet's Blossoms In Bloom Hello Beautiful Card
Too Cool Team member Janet Shinn created this pretty card featuring the Blossoms In Bloom stamp set. I love this simple, overlapping front flap design! It is easy to create and really adds a lot of interest, allowing the stamped inside piece to peek through and become part of the card front décor.
 
Background Basics—Janet's card begins with a 8-1/4" x 4-1/4" Night of Navy card base, scored at the 2-3/4" mark. She decorated the front flap with a 2-1/2" x 4" piece of Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper with a subtle Bumblebee colored pattern.

Front Flap—Janet stamped several Blossoms In Blooms small flowers in Misty Moonlight ink onto a 4" x 2-1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock. She added Bumblebee flower center dots and small leaves in Granny Apple Green. After layering the stamped piece onto a 4-1/4" x 2-3/4" piece of Night of Navy, Janet popped up the layers onto the front card flap with Dimensionals.
 
Sweet Sentiment—Janet stamped the sentiment from Butterfly Gala in Misty Moonlight onto Whisper White cardstock, then punched it out. She layered it onto a Bumblebee Tasteful Labels die and popped those up with more Dimensionals.  
 
Finishing Touches—She finished up the card with a pretty Denim Ribbon bow, attached with Glue Dots, and a few Basic Rhinestone Jewels scattered around the card front.

Inside The Card—The inside of Janet's card has beautiful stamping onto a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Whisper White. She started by stamping the large Blossoms In Bloom image in Balmy Blue. Then, it looks like she may have used a circle stamp from the High Tide to add a little stamped-off Misty Moonlight to the center of the flowers before adding the Misty Moonlight dots from Blossoms In Bloom.  The smaller flowers are stamped in Bumblebee with Misty Moonlight centers and she added leaves in Granny Apple Green. Beautiful!
 
 
Forever fern fancy front flap - madsen 1
Swap Card Created By Kathe Madsen
 
Kathe's Forever Fern Hello Friend Card
I received this pretty Forever Fern card from Too Cool Team member Kathe Madsen and I just adore the color combination, especially for fall!  She created a similar front flap style card in a vertical orientation.
 
Background Basics—Kathe's card begins with a 6-1/2" x 5-1/2" Cinnamon Cider card base, scored at the 2-1/4" mark. She added a 1-3/4" x 5" strip of Crumb Cake cardstock that was embossed with one of the Greenery Embossing Folder. It's layered onto a piece of 2" x 5-1/4" Real Red and adhered to the front panel.

Front Flap—Kathe first stamped the Forever Fern sentiment in Real Red ink onto a 2-3/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock to allow for best positioning of the decorative stamping.  Then, she stamped a couple of Forever Fern leafy images in Crumb Cake, as well as a couple of branches in Cinnamon Cider, onto the piece. It's layered onto a 3" x 3-1/2" piece of Real Red, then onto a piece of 3-1/4" x 3-3/4" Crumb Cake and popped it up with Dimensionals onto the front flap. She finished by stamping another branch in Real Red onto a separate Whisper White piece, then die-cut it with the Forever Flourishing dies and adhered onto the focal point to give a pop of color…gorgeous!

Inside The Card—Kathe finished the card by stamping another Forever Fern phrase on the inside in Cinnamon Cider and a few more leaves in Crumb Cake onto a 3" x 3-1/2" piece of Whisper White. She adhered it so it was positioned directly behind the front focal point to hide it. Perfect!
