Welcome to the March Cardz 4 Guyz challenge #386! Our host for this month’s challenge, Julie, chose Squash It (with an embossing folder) for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!

Here’s my card:

This hidden flap fold card is one of my favorites for showing off gorgeous DSP (designer series paper). In this case, I used the Moonlit Flora DSP with the Fern & Flora embossing folder.

Of course, since this is a fun fold, I will be uploading it in the Creative Creases Challenge gallery as a design team member.

This stunningly gorgeous DSP definitely qualifies for the Love Those Pretty Papers Challenge Blog!

Measurements:

Here’s the template with all the measurements:

I used Mossy Meadow for the base of the card and the sentiment banner
The Soft Seafoam cardstock mats measure 3-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
After embossing another piece of Soft Seafoam DSP, trim it to 3-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
The mat for the sentiment comes from a scrap piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock, which has also been embossed with the Fern & Flora embossing folder
You will also need a piece of DSP trimmed to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Punch a 1-inch circle from coordinating DSP and run it through your XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal

What I Did:

Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces together
After trimming and scoring the Mossy Meadow cardstock base, I trimmed two pieces of Soft Sea Foam cardstock to 5-3/8 inches by 3-1/8 inches and adhered one to the front flap and one to the inside flap on the right side as shown
Making sure you have the DSP pieces in the proper order (from left to right), adhere them to the Soft Sea Foam cardstock
After dry embossing a piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock using the 3D Fern and Flora embossing folder, trim the cardstock to 3-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
Lightly drag the Mossy Meadow ink pad over the embossed cardstock
- HINT: Go slow and have a very light hand so you can keep as much ink as possible only on the raised design
- I did have to add a few layers of color, making sure that the ink dried completely between layers
Adhere the embossed cardstock to the flap of the base of the card as shown
After wiping down a scrap piece of Mossy Meadow cardstock with an embossing buddy, stamp your sentiment using VeraMark ink
Cover the sentiment with white embossing powder and heat set it with your heat tool
Crop the sentiment using one of the Nested Essentials Dies
Crop the next largest Nested Essentials die from a piece of embossed Soft Sea Foam
Adhere the sentiment to the embossed mat, and add dimensionals to the back of the mat only the left side of the sentiment
Finally, add three of 2026-2028 In Color white butterflies to the front sentiment

With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope and envelope seal set.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!
