A different fold

Hello Stampers!
Hope you had a great weekend and that you were able to be creative in some way! I had my grandsons over, they came Friday night and spent the night and left Saturday afternoon, and then i had my granddaughter Saturday night while her parents went out to eat. But I was able to work in a little stamping. This is one of the cards I made, I saw this on pinterest . I started out with a Real Red Card base 8.5 x 5.5. I then folded it in half as normal and then folded back the front half to meet the fold line. I then added a piece of 2 x 5.25 Tropical Oasis DSP. I used the Timeless Tropical Bundle to stamp and die cut my flowers, leaves, and pineapple. The leaves are Mossy Meadow on Old Olive cardstock, the pineapple is Old Olive ink on whisper white, with a little coloring from Mango Melody stampin blend. The flower is Real Real ink on Mango melody cardstock and the small flowers are just die cut from Real red card stock. The circle is punched with the 2 1/4″ punch out of Mango Melody and the whisper white is punched from the starburst punch. The sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink. When attaching you want to only put adhesive on the one side that is going to attach to the front of the card, because you will want to be able to open it as shown in the next photo.
You want to place your circles so that when the card is closed you only see the outside circle. This circle on the inside is attached flat and then I added the flowers and leaves around it. So that when the card is closed it coordinates with the circle on the front. I finished off the card with adding some of the Holiday Rhinestones, the bling just seemed to complete the card. What do you think?
The Tropical Oasis Suite on page 39 in the mini catalog has some great stamps and framelits, even a large pineapple that I need to try yet. The trinkets are adorable. So take a look and if you are in need of some product feel free to shop my online store. Make sure to list me as your demonstrator so that I can send you a Thank-you!

Have a great Day
and as always Thank-you for stopping by.
Sheryl
