Stampin Up! Very Best Occasions Thinking of You Card

Welcome to Fun Fold Friday. My card today is created with the twisted ribbon technique and has a belly band. Take a look see...


I used the Wonderful World Designer Series Paper, available for free during Sale-A-Bration with a purchase of $100 (it comes with a matching stamp set). 

My card base is Basic White (6 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 2 1/4" on the long side) and my panels are Flirty Flamingo (1 7/8" x 5 1/8" and 4" x 5 1/8"). This was so much fun to create.

I put tick marks every 1/2" on both sides of a 1 5/8" x 5" piece of Basic White. I cut 5 pieces of one side of the pattern and 6 pieces of the reverse side, all 2 1/2" x 1/2". I adhered one pattern all the way down at an angle like this...


Then I adhered the flowered pattern like so...


The I cut off the excess from the white ribboned panel and adhered it to the right side of a Flirty Flamingo mat (4" x 5 1/8"). On the left side, I adhered a piece of Basic White (2" x 5 1/8"). I stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions Stamp Set in Mossy Meadow ink. Inside donesky as my friend and upline, Mary, would say.

For the front flap, I cut a piece of Flirty Flamingo (1 7/8" x 5 1/8") and adhered a panel of DSP (1 3/4" x 5"). 

Because this fun fold has a tendency to stay open, I created a belly band with a 9 1/2" x 3/4" piece of the DSP. I formed it around the card and glued the ends together. I covered the glued ends with a flower from another pattern in the Wonderful World DSP, which was punched with the Rectangular Postage Stamp Punch. I sponged the edges with Mossy Meadow ink and adhered it to the belly band with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I'm entering my card in the Craft Rocket Challenge #95 - Flowers.

Thank you for visiting today and I hope you are looking forward to a fun weekend.
