T he Painted Lavender DSP and Stamp/Die set are gorgeous and so easy to work with. I have seen a lot of beautiful cards out there, but I wanted to create something a little different. I pulled out a fun fold that I created when I had the Earthen Textures DSP to play with and reused it. Have fun with it, I sure did!
Project Recipe
Measurements of Materials
5 ½” x 11” Crumb Cake Cardstock (CS) (Scored at 3 3/8” and 7 5/8”)
5 ½” x 4” Very Vanilla CS
3 ¼” x 5 ¼” Designer Series Paper (Cut 2 or 4)
Cutting the Card Stock
Left front flap
• Measure 2” from the top of the card and make a small tick mark on the edge. Cut diagonally from fold line to tick mark.
• Measure in 1” from the edge of the card and make a small tick mark. Cut diagonally from this mark to the first mark.
Right front flap
• Measure 2” from the top of the card and make a small tick mark on the edge. Cut diagonally from fold line to tick mark.
Cutting the DSP – Determine if you will be adding DSP to the inside of the card or not. If so, you will cut 4 pieces of DSP. The second set will be cut in reverse of the drawing.

*Note – If using magnets, mount them before adding the DSP. That way they will be hidden.
Front of the Card
• Embellish with vases, plants, and flowers as desired.
Inside the Card
• Stamp the sentiment and decorations on the vanilla cardstock as desired.
