Blue Roses Triple Fold Reveal Card for Creative Creases #118

It's time for a new challenge on the Creative Creases Challenge blog, and I have a card where the pattern paper is the star! I have so much pattern paper that I will never be able to use it all in my lifetime! Can anyone relate?! For this card, I used a paper pad from Stamperia called Timeless. I paired it with a fun fold card design by Connie Stewart of Simply Simple Stamping and will share a link to her video here: 🔴 Triple Fold Reveal Card Tutorial | Easy Card Within a Card Idea. Connie always shares a pdf of the measurements on her website, and you can find this one here: Triple Fold Reveal Card Tutorial: Easy Card Within a Card Idea - Simply Simple Stamping.

I chose a few different papers from the Stamperia paper pad and paired them with a solid blue cardstock from my stash. I trimmed and scored the blue cardstock to form the base of the card and the base of the mini card adhered to the right side of the card base. Then I decorated them with the pattern papers following Connie's instructions. Once I had all the pattern papers adhered, I chose a few sentiment stamps and a floral die set.

For the front flap, I stamped "you have a beautiful smile" from Altenew's Billowing Peonies stamp set. I die cut it with Altenew's Nesting Circles Die Set and die cut the next bigger circle out of the same blue cardstock I had used for the card base. I adhered the sentiment circle to the solid blue circle and added them to the front flap. Then I added a few enamel dots from Altenew's Cherry Blossom Enamel Dot set. The lightest color in the set is more ivory than pink, so I liked how they matched the pattern papers. 

For the inside flaps, I chose sentiments from Altenew's Bouquet of Poppies stamp set: "keep on shining," "miss you," and "hugs." These are perfect for my youngest daughter who is still deployed on an aircraft carrier in the Middle East. I have been sending her weekly care packages with homemade meals I've freeze dried for her and a handmade card in each box for the past 6 months. Sometimes I make cards for her shipmates, too. It feels good to do something while we eagerly wait for her return.

To decorate the inside panel of the card where I will write my message, I die cut Altenew's Cute Open Rose die set and assembled the flower and leaves on the bottom right portion of the inner panel. I used the same ivory lace pattern paper I used on the mini card attached to the right side of the card base for the rose's center and leaves.
