Flip Flap Fold Card "Sprinkles of Life"

 Another card I had made a while ago and only just getting around to posting it.
I hope I can remember everything I used to make these cards...
I'm not even sure if Flip Flap Fold in the right name for this card : )

Stamps: Sprinkles of Life
Card Stock: Delightful Dijon, Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay, Very Vanilla & Bohemian DSP
Ink: Delightful Dijon, Blackberry Bliss & Bermuda Bay
Punches: Tree Builder, Window Word, 2-1/2"Circle, 2-3/8" Scallop Circle, 2" Circle, 1-3/8" Circle, 1-1/4" Circle & Scallop Edge

The circle of card stock (with the candle stamped on it) is what holds the top flap in place. It's attached with dimensionals on the bottom half only.

I used an Aqua painter to go over the candle and spread the colour, after stamping with the markers.

Sale-A-Bration & Occasions 2016

Too bad I don't post projects more often, I'm getting a little behind.
These were made earlier this year with new occasions stamp sets and Sale-A-Bration stamp sets too, plus a little wink of Stella.

Stamps: Picture Perfect, Everything Eleanor, Kinda Eclectic & Perfect Pairings
Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Blushing Bride & Very Vanilla
Ink: Versa Mark, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral & Watermelon Wonder
Extras: Gold Embossing Powder, Gold Marker, Gold Wink of Stella & Gold Metallic Baker's Twine 

Gold is always hard to photograph...you got to try all angles. : /

First I stamped the swirl from Everything Eleanor & the leaf from Kinda Eclectic in Versa Mark, but then decided it didn't show up enough (even for background).

...so I went over the swirls with the Gold Wink of Stella.
It doesn't look that great here, but it made the finished card look better.

Stamps: What I Love
Cardstock: Soft Sky, Brushed Silver & Very Vanilla
Ink: Blushing Bride, Soft Sky, Perfect Plum & Wild Wasabi
Extras:  Chevron Embossing Folder, Silver Embossing Powder & Silver Metallic Thread 


You may be able to see if you look really closely, that the Chevron embossing folder has been pressed onto the Vanilla card stock with Soft Sky ink.
The Coloured spots you can see in the top corner were just added with an Aqua painter & watered down ink ( it helps if the card stock is slightly damp first). 

Stamps: Perfect Pairings & What I Love
Cardstock: Soft Sky, Brushed Silver & Whisper White
Ink: Blushing Bride, Soft Sky, Calypso Coral, Tangerine Tango & Wild Wasabi
Extras:  Modern Masaic Embossing Folder, Silver Embossing Powder, Silver Metallic Thread & Rhinestone Jewels

It's hard to tell from the picture, but the Mosaic folder has been pressed onto the white card stock with a little soft sky ink.
Stamps: Enjoy the Little Things
Cardstock: Timeless Elegance dsp, Sahara Sand, Basic Black & Very Vanilla
Ink: Pear Pizzazz, Cherry Cobbler, Sahara Sand & Memento Black
Extras: Pearl Jewels, Labels Collection Framelits 


I used the markers to colour the rose on the dsp (designer series paper) and the fine tip of the Sahara Sand marker to add the line & dotted detail on the label.
