Love the color combination of the Secret Sea and Petal Pink in this Lovely Blossoms designer series paper from Stampin’ Up. It makes such lovely cards, including this one with the floral flap covering the under larger one to open like a gate fold.

From a piece of Secret Sea card stock cut your card base to 5 ½” x 7 ¼” and score at 3” and fold the smaller side to the front. Cut another piece to 2 ¾” x 3 ½” and score at ½” and fold that flap down. From white card stock cut a piece for the inside to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”, one to 2 7/8” x 5 3/8” and another to 2 5/8” x 2 7/8”. Take the Lovely Blossoms designer series paper pack and find the Secret Sea with the triangles and also the Petal Pink with the large flowers. From the Secret Sea piece cut to 2 ¾” x 5 ¼” and from the large floral paper cut a piece to 2 ½” x 2 ¾”.
Take your card base and the small piece of scored Secret Sea and put adhesive on the ½” strip of the small piece and adhere that to the front of the back panel centered from top to bottom so that it will fold over the front piece. Adhere the 2 5/8” x 2 7/8” piece of white to the front of the small flap and then the large floral piece to the front of that. Now adhere the 2 7/8” x 5 3/8” piece of white to the large front flap of your card and then the Secret Sea triangle paper to that.
With a scrap piece of white card stock and the large flower from the Lovely Arrangement stamp set, ink your stamp with Cloud Cover ink and then take the Secret Sea Stampin’ Write marker and color the center of the flower. Now huff (blow hot air) on your stamp to remoisten the ink and stamp onto your white card stock. Use the die to cut the flower out. The stamp the three leave stamp in Secret Sea ink on white card stock and cut it out with the die. Stamp the Sending Smiles on some white card stock and use the oval die to cut out your greeting. Adhere the oval greeting in the lower left corner of your Secret Sea triangle paper. Adhere the leaves to the back of your large flower and then adhere your flower to the lower left corner of the front floral flap.
For the inside adhere to large white piece you cut. Stamp in Secret Sea ink the “always here for you” greeting to the upper left side of you white inside, making sure it is not going to show when the flaps are closed. Close your card flaps and add three of the Secret Sea embellishments from the Moody Palette Glossy Dots to the white that is showing from the inside panel.
What a pretty card to let someone who is struggling know you are there for them.
