Floating Sentiment Trifold Card

 

Hello! Welcome back to my blog. For this card, I created a card with a floating sentiment inside the window of the card. 

I started off by die cutting the largest sized die from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Speech Bubble Frames on Doodlebug patterned paper. 

I trimmed a brown cardstock at 5 1/2" x 4 1/2". I am using both panels to create the trifold mechanism. 

I traced the window created by the speech bubble on one of the brown note cards. I die cut another window on this note card using a Hero Arts Nesting Oval die. 

I stamped the fox image on Neenah Solar white cardstock. I colored this with Copic markers. The stamp is from LF Mom + Me stamp set. I fussy cut the image leaving a white border around the image.

For the scene, I die cut a green cardstock using LF Grassy Hillside Borders dies. I am in-laying the grassy hills. To create some depth, I blended a Tim Holtz Pine Needles Distress Oxide. 

For the sentiment, I created an orange gradient panel by adhering scraps of orange cardstock on a typing paper. I die cut the sentiment from this panel using the LF Scripty Thanks die and the LF Cole's ABC die. I did a bit of die cut surgery on the word thanks so I can modify the sentiment. I die cut these two more times for the the layers.

I applied WOW! Mixed Media Embossing Brush to the sentiment die cuts. I poured WOW! Ultra High Clear Embossing powder to this then heat set it. I adhered one layer to the back of the sentiment/letters using a liquid glue. I trimmed two strips of acetate. I adhered this to the back of the sentiment/letters. I adhered the last sentiment/letter die cuts to the back to cover the glue.

I added a strong double sided tape on the sides of the speech bubble window on the brown note card. I adhered the acetate with the sentiments to this. I placed another layer of double sided tape on top of it to secure it more. I lined the patterned paper speech bubble frame, then adhered the other piece of the die cut to cover the front of the card. 

I adhered the grassy hills die cut. I adhered the fox using foam adhesive.

For the inside, I created a background for the window using a LF Woodgrain Backdrops stamp. I stamped this using a dark brown pigment ink. I adhered this to the front of the other brown cardstock. I trimmed off a sliver on the front cover. I applied adhesive to the inner back side and adhered it to the back of the window card creating the trifold mechanism. 

I added a white panel on the center fold to write the message on.

I like it that the card has a different look when closed. 

Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
