Welcome to Week 12 of the 2024-25 Colour Creations Blog Hop. This week our colour in the spotlight is Blueberry Bushel. 

This week I have created a Double Stack Display card. I had a little bit going on this week so I needed something a bit quick on the fancy fold department to do.

I have chosen a monochromatic palette and the gorgeous Magnolia Mood Bundle which is an online exclusive! I had not played with my Magnolia Mood bundle I thought it was about time I got it out and had a play.

For the Double Stack Display Fold I have a card base is Thick Basic White which comprises of 1 panel that is 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches and a second that is 4 1/4 x 11 inches and scored at 2, 3 3/4, 7 1/4, 9 inches along the 11 inch side.

To create the base of the card you fold the double "z" on the larger of the 2 cards and adhere it to the smaller card that you have cut. This creates the foundation fold to add your display cards and decorations.

On both sides of the base card of Thick Basic White I have embossed a piece of Meandering Meadows DSP which has gorgeous Blueberry Bushel as one of it's colours with the Crosshatch Embossing folder from the Basic 3D embossing Folder pack.

For the smaller display panel on the right I have cut a 3 3/4 x 3 3/4 Blueberry Bushel base and layered that with Basic White which I have then stamped with the Happy Birthday stamp from the Magnolia Mood stamp set. I have then used the Magnolia Mood Dies to gut the smaller flower and some leaves out in Basic White and then again in Blueberry Bushel which I popped up on small dimensionals about the white.

For the front focal point panel I have a base of Blueberry Bushel and on the Basic White layer I have used the Crosshatch 3D embossing folder. The large die I have cut out both in Basic White and Blueberry Bushel and I have cut some of the leaves off the Blueberry Bushel. I have also cut a few extra leaves in Basic White and the smaller flower in both white and Blueberry Bushel. The top flower has been popped up on dimensionals.

I couldn't resist stamping the large gorgeous magnolia flower on the inside of the card slightly over the fold which gives plenty of room to write your message. How beautiful does this flower look in Blueberry Bushel?!

I know you are wondering if it all fits into an envelope and it does when folded up. I have adhered some of the remaining piece of Meandering Meadows DSP to the flap of the envelope and stamped the smaller magnolia to the bottom left of the front.

The Blueberry Bushel and white colour combo is really striking, Sharon. I especially love the magnolias stamped in Blueberry Bushel - they look so elegant.

Rachel Woollard said...

OMG Sharon, another fabulous fancy fold card! And white with BlueBushel is a stunning combination

Kate Morgan said...

Oh wow, that makes such a bold statement die cutting the magnolia in blues and whites, so striking. I also love the stamped image on the inside, just beautiful. I'm not sure how this is a quick card when time poor!

Tina said...

Wow, for a quick fancy fold it sure looks complicated! Blueberry Bushel looks stunning on the crisp white - it's a really gorgeous card.

Andrea said...

Another WOW fancy fold Sharon. As has been said, I love how striking Blueberry Bushel and white are together. Just gorgeous. I have been thinking of making this fold so really appreciate your dimensions and details. Thank you so much my friend. xxx
