Hey everybody! Happy Thursday – I hope you’re having a great week. I’m stoked to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today created our new Back to Basics 6×9 Lime Collection Pack! OMGosh, I totally love this color. Green (in any variation) has been my all-time favorite color since I can remember, so I thoroughly enjoyed making this. I’ve created quite a few of this version of a triple fold over the years and decided to give this one a little ‘faux’ twist by adhering the second flap down to the card base, thus giving it the ‘faux’ look of a triple fold. I thought that added a little more fun to an already fun design. And of course, these die cuts from our Lucky Day Collection make it even more fun… along with my handmade pom-pom on his hat! ;)
I cut the 5-1/2″ x 11″ card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock and scored it at 1-3/4″, 5-1/2″ and 9-3/4″ on the lone side. I folded the base in half and then folded the two remaining score lines toward the left. Working from left to right, I cut a 3-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ panel from a plaid print in the Lucky Day 6×9 Collection Pack and adhered it to the left side. Next, I cut a 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ panel from a floral print and adhered it to the second flap, and then adhered that flap down to the card base with thin adhesive foam squares.
Finally, I cut a 1″ x 5-1/4″ panel from a dotted print and adhered it to the right-hand flap. I added two disc magnets to keep the card closed, and with the card closed, I embellished the front with an assortment of die cut pieces from the Lucky Day Collection. I made a pom-pom from white yarn using a thin skewer and adhered it to the top of his hat. The final step was adding several Back To Basics Lime Enamel Dots.
I cut the 4″ x 5-1/4″ inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a leftover strip of the floral paper used on the front. I added a sentiment and a tiny gnome, also from the die cut pieces, and layered the panel on another print from the Lucky Day Collection.
