Z Fold Best of Flowers Card

I paired the Best Of Flowers, Papillon Potpourri and Hello, Doily sets to create this Z Fold card ...

These Z Fold cards are so interesting and I love making them.  I used the Quatrafoil Specialty DSP and added some Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie inks for a pop of colour.  No matter how many times I use Hello, Doily I am pleased with the outcome.  I used the Old Olive and Daffodil Delight markers to colour the daisy stamp, then used a dauber to add some Pumpkin Pie on the ends of the flowers.

   Stamps:  Hello, Doily, Best of Flowers, Papillon Potpourri
   Ink:  Island Indigo, Pumpkin Pie
   Markers:  Old Olive, Daffodil Delight
   Paper:  Island Indigo, Whisper White, Quatrafoil Specialty DSP
   Other:  Designer Frames EF (hand cut out), Bitty Butterfly Punch, Basic Rhinestones coloured with a blue Sharpie marker

I hope you get a chance to try one of these Z Fold cards. 

1.  Cut a piece of cardstock 11 x 4-1/4" (for the base)

2.  Score at 5-1/2 & 2-3/4"

3.  Cut a piece of cardstock 2-1/2 x 3-1/4 (for the piece on the front)

Framed Flowers Card

Using the Best of Flowers stamp set again today ....

With the new Magnetic Platform, using the Stampin' Up! Framelits Dies is so much easier.  The platform is not available at the moment, but as soon as Stampin' Up! gets another shipment, they will be again.  I was so lucky to get mine way back in May, and I can't tell you how much I use this baby.  I will give you more info on it below ....
This card uses the Apothecary Arts Framelits Die with one of the Ovals Framelits dies nestled in the center.  I cut them both out at the same time!  This flower is one of the special ones available in the Best Of 25 Years stamp sets which are being released at the beginning of each month all year long.  This one is May's set, and includes the Hydrangea stamp that I used a few days ago.  The background Pink Pirouette layer is embossed with the Modern Mosaic Embossing Folder.

   Stamps:  Best Of Flowers, Petite Pairs
   Ink:  Strawberry Slush, Midnight Muse
   Paper:  Whisper White, Pink Pirouette, Strawberry Slush
   Other:  Apothecary Arts Framelits Dies, Oval Framelits Dies, Modern Mosaic EF, Basic Pearls

This card was surprisingly quick and easy to do.  Specially when I used the Magnetic Platform.  Here is some information on the platform . . . . .
