Fun Fold Friday using Close to My Heart!

It's Friday!  I am sooooo ready for this weekend.  Last night I had a training appointment that kicked my butt and then worked on this project.  I am in love with the Pemberley papers from CTMH--these are a must have and can be ordered bu clicking on the button to the right.
Today I am going to give you directions on how to make a Joy Fold Card.
To start you will need to cut the following papers:
1-4 1/4" by 8 1/2" rectangle in cardstock.  Score this at 5 1/2" inches and fold.
1-3"by 8" rectangle in cardstock.  Score this at 4"
1- 4 1/8" by 5 1/2" pc of paper (multi color hexagone print above) and attach to the inside of the card
1- 2 7/8" by 4" PC of paper (light blue ground/navy fern print paper above) attach to the outside flap of the card.
2-2 7/8" by 4" PCs of paper (Navy ground print under flowers, and tan tonal print on the inside of the small flap.

Once all this is done and attached you can start you stamping or embellishing.  I always attache my small card to the large card at this time.  I try to center it corm top to bottom and about 1/2" from the edge.
The embellishing is up to you but here is what I did for this card.
I stamped a flower three times in different colors, than stamped the detail in versa mark ink then heat embossed and added gems to each to complete my spring garden.
I attached on flower at the bottom with pop dots so the outer flap had a place that would keep it closed.
Here is the card fully open
Here is a close up of the sentiment--which I love.

Supplies used:
Cream cardstock ( for the base)
Pemberley Pattern Paper x7148B (pattern paper)
Rosy Regards B1369 (stamp set used for the flowers)
Sentiment is from the exclusive stamp set in the Pemberley workshop on the go (G1033)

I hope you all have a great weekend and leave those comments for your chance to win the Cricut Imagine.
Winner for this weeks give away will be announced on Sunday!
Make it a great one-

  38. By the way, there are a lot of Heathers and even another Heather M out there in the paper-crafting blogosphere. To distinguish the people I refer to the contest, I told them to say CardsbyAnn sent them. Thanks Bryan!
