This is such a fabulous card and I can't wait to share it with you! I know you will want to share or give it to someone special. Inspiration for this card comes from Lisa Curscio at Lisa's Stamp Studio. Mine is very similar to the one I saw her make, but I've changed it a little.

I used the Sweetest Cherries bundle to make this card and here is the front:

As you open the card, the sentiment slides in place (here it is partially open):

And here is the inside:

Measurements for this card:

Front (Pool Party): 4 1/4" x 8 1/4" scored at 5 1/2"

Inside (Basic White): 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"

Back (Pool Party): 4 1/4" x 5 3/4" scored at 5 1/2"

Scraps of Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, and Basic White.

Aren't those birdies cute?

I hosted team time in my studio Saturday, and we had a great time together! We made three projects with the cup of tea bundle - a fun fold card, a "thinking of you" card, and a gift card holder.

The fun fold is very simple, yet pretty:

and here's what it looks like open:

Of course we used the delightful Tea Boutique Designer Series paper. There are such a variety of colors in this DSP and it makes it easy to come up with a variety of different color combinations!

Here's the gift card holder:

Very simple, but cute.  This idea is from a card swap in which Carol Hickman created one similar.

And then the third project is a lovely gray and pink card:

Love the color combo in this one.  Using an Adhesive sheet when I die cut the intricute detailed tea cup overlay made it easy to adhere it to the cup. 

Here's the video tutorial to see how I made these cards:

This set is just adorable!  Of couse I'm partial to piglets - we have about 18 of them right now. They are about 10 days old and just so darn cute!

Here's a pic of the cards I made tonight. Supplies and measurements are in the free PDF (link is below).

The first card is a simple fun fold I made using the Perfectly Penciled DSP and Fabulous Frames Dies.

And here's what it looks like open:

I also used the Fabulous Frames Dies on the second card:

I love the color combination on this card.

Then for the 3rd card I used one of the retiring Slim Cards Dies.  I really love the chevron look:

I used the Botanical Layers Stamp Set with the Baby Wipe Technique to make these cards.

With the Baby Wipe Technique you can load several colors on your stamp as I did to get several shades of green in the leaves.

Here's the bottom layer:

To get that look, add a couple of baby wipes to an empty stamp case (or plate).  Begin adding drops of ink - space them out. 

Then choose your next color and add drops with the ink refill bottle. I started with Pear Pizazz and then added Garden Green.

If you want a third color, leave more spacing between the drops of ink.  

As you ink up your stamp, it will hit the different colors and the result is a nice stamp of blended colors!

Measurements for this card:

Basic White Card Base - 8 1/2 x 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". (21.59 cm x 13.97 cm scored at 10.795)

When I think of June I think of flowers, longer days, and birds chirping early in the morning! The Lovely and Lasting Stamp Bundle is so appropriate for this time of the year with its large floral image and smaller detailed blooms.  I love that it has a coordinating punch to use for the beautiful sentiments in the set.  If you buy the stamp bundle (stamp set and punch) with my card class kit, you not only save 10%, but I pay the shipping and tax on the bundle for you. 

Here you can see snippets of what the cards look like:

Don't you love the cheerful colors?

Other Supplies you may want for this card kit:

In today's episode of Farm Fresh Cards, I showed how to make this Fancy Fold Explosion Card.  

I've made them before but not with this fold.  I saw Karen Titus show this on Stamping on the Back Porch.  She told a story as she did the folds which helped me remember how to fold it! (See the video to hear the story and see the fold). This one was made using a 6 x 6 piece of DSP.  

6 x 6 DSP for explosion fold

Cardstock - 6 3/4 x 3 3/8" scored at 3 3/8"

White cardstock for front - 3 1/8 x 3 1/8"

This smaller card was made with 5 x 5" DSP:

Measurements for this size are:

5 x 5" DSP

2 3/4 x 5 1/2" cardstock scored at 2 3/4"

Cardstock for front - 2 1/2 x 2 1/2"

Here's a pic with a variety of sizes:

The one on the right uses 8 x 8 DSP for the inside and the card base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4."

It's so much fun to try making these in different sizes.
