For the card front, we used what I call a Peek-a-boo fold as the fold allows the sentiment to peek out from the layer below. It is super easy to make. I started with a Gorgeous Grape card base and the DSP from the In Good Taste in a light neutral color woodgrain look. The DSP is a 5 1/4" by 4" piece that is cut in the center of the longer side at 2 5/8" and you cut down to the 2" mark (basically to the halfway point). Then you fold back to the two flaps that are made by the cut and place a mini glue dot behind to hold them down. I then dry fit this over a Basic White panel and penciled an outline lightly so I would know where to stamp my sentiment. I stamped the Get Well Soon stamp from the stamp set in Gorgeous Grape ink. I then erased my pencil marks and adhered the DSP to the Basic White panel and then to the card front. I next stamped the flower from the same set in Gorgeous Grape ink on a scrap of Basic White; I also stamped two leaves in Shaded Spruce ink. I fussy cut these things out with Paper Snips and adhered the leaves to the back of the flower with mini glue dots and then the flower onto the card front aligning to the left of the sentiment over the center cut with dimensionals.
For the envelope, I stamped the flower again on the lower left of the envelope front in the same ink color and glued the same In Good Taste DSP on the envelope flap and trimmed the excess with Paper Snips. And just like that, and gorgeous card to send to anyone that is feeling under the weather! Here is a picture of all the various card colors I tried; Calypso Coral and Melon Mambo were the other two besides the Gorgeous Grape color. Which one is your favorite?
