Abigail Rose Tri Fold card with Masking Paper Tip

I am very excited about this gorgeous tri fold card today, featuring the Abigail Rose suite in the new Stampin’ UP! catalog!! It’s really worth of a quick video, so I’ve got a quick video for you at the bottom of this post!!

See the Abigail Rose suite online or on pages 56-57 in the new Annual catalog.

Watch the video!

Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for a quick video to show you exactly how to put all the pieces together for this tri fold card!

Above & Below: when die cutting the delicate detailed flowers in this Cottage Rose bundle, you’ll want to add Adhesive Sheets to the back of the cardstock first, and then to get green stems and colored flowers, I like to color them with my Stampin’ Blends.

Die Cutting Tip:

The flower from the Cottage Rose set shown below does not have an individual die, but you can use the die shown below to cut out that image.

Masking Paper Tip:

I was trying to figure out the best way to color the flower with Blending Brushes (you know, the ink kind of spreads beyond the image), and not get the ink on the leaves. So, I stamped the image onto Masking Paper, cut out the leaf portion and COVERED the leaves (see photo on LEFT below). I used the Blending Brush and ink to color the flower, pulled away the masking paper and colored the leaves with Stampin’ Blends (see photo on RIGHT below).

After layering all the gorgeous flowers and leaves together, I finished my card with the new Petal Pink polyester ribbon, and the Petal Pink Solid Faceted Gems.
