Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we are sharing fun fold cards. Love a fun fold and decided to make a garden themed floating inner card using the gorgeous Help Me Grow stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the pretty pink floral card using the following supplies:

Cajun Craze card – 5¾” by 4⅛” x 2
Basic White card – 5½” by 3⅞” x 3
Painted Illusions dsp – 5⅜” by 3¾” x 3
Basic White card – 4½” by 3½”

Thick Basic White card – 11” by 4” scored at 2¾”, 5½” & 8¼”
Petal Pink card – 3¾” by 2½” x 4 x 4
Painted Illusions dsp – 3⅝” by 2⅜” x 4
Basic White card – 3½” by 2¼” x 4
Scrap Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Granny Apple Green, Pretty Peacock, Cajun Craze, Pecan Pie & Silver Foil

 

The larger panels of Painted Illusions dsp were adhered to the three larger pieces of Basic White card. Two of these dsp pieces were then glued to the larger Basic White panels, one on the front and the other on the back – this will be the front of the card. The last panel was then glued to the front of the remaining large piece of Cajun Craze card.

 

The four smaller panels of Painted Illusions dsp were glued to the four smaller pieces of Cajun Craze card and adhered them to the 4 panels of the 11” by 4” Basic White card. This is the floating inner panel.

 

 

The left-hand panel of the floating inner was placed onto the back of the front panel, lined up with the edge of the Basic White layer and glued into position. I repeated this step with right-hand panel and the back part of the card base.

 

 

Using the Every Day Arches Dies I cut a large arch from the 4½” by 3½” of Basic White card. I also cut 4 smaller arches from the 3½” by 2¼” pieces of Basic White card.

 

I used a Blending Brush to add some Lemon Lolly ink to the die cut arches before adhering them to the card.

 

Let the decorating begin – for the front I stamped, and die cut a pot using Cajun Craze ink. I die cut the saucer from Basic White scrap and added Cajun Craze and Mossy Meadow ink with Sponge Daubers. I cut a slit at the top of the pot and added leaves, die cut from scrap Granny Apple and Pretty Peacock card. The flowers were cut from scrap Lemon Lolly and White card and the yellow centres added with a Lemon Lolly Blends Pen. All the pieces were then arranged on the card front.

 

A selection of pots, saucers, leaves, flowers, soil and tools were stamped and or die cut before being added to the inside of the card on the floating panel.
