Hello and welcome to my first 2024 post and first 2024 Just Add Ink challenge team project too. This week our challenge is to Just Add Flowers. As always we're welcoming the new year with a blog hop and are thrilled to share a new look for Just Add Ink too. We hope you love it as much as we do.
So on to the hop. An extra special hello to you if you've arrived here from amazing Jan McQueen's blog, or another stop along the hop. I hope my project gives you some ideas to try.
It's a fun fold card featuring some floral prints from the gorgeous Perennial Lavender paper pack, and stamps and die cuts from the new Perennial Postage bundle. Take a look.

I
can't remember for the life of me what this fold is called - a double
gate fold maybe? The gate fold opens through the centre but it has an
extra piece attached at the back that adds a second layer. It's one of
the hardest cards to photograph but hopefully you'll get the idea. This is it pushed completely flat.
Look at this beautiful paper. The painted floral paper images from the new Perennial Lavender paper pack are exquisite, and the kraft-crumb cake background adds an unsual and lovely feel.
It does like to pop up, even with lots of fold burnishing.
But it stands up really well.
I first saw this fold used by Linda Dalke (thanks again Linda) a while ago, and I've made quite a few. It's very easy, has lots of pretty paper use options, and definitely adds a wow look.
I created some similar flowers to those on the paper with dies from the Dainty Delight dies and Stampin' Blends markers. There is a beautiful Perennial Lavender stamp and die bundle that coordinates with the suite but I don't have it yet so I experimented!
I love the mixed font sentiment in the new coordinating Perennial Postage stamp set, which I teamed with the coordinating nested Perennial Postage dies.
Here's how the front piece looks it looks flattened out. You can see the second paper print I used here and on the back of the front flap. As you'd expect, they all coordinate beautifully.
So that's my Just Add Flowers challenge project. You'll find all the supplies you need to create your own version here on my SU website

Pretty...love the fancy fold showcasing your flowers!!
I haven't seen a gatefold with the extra layer before but it looks amazing - adds that extra something and with your lovely papers, so elegant.
Super pretty card Di! I love your use of the DSP and it looks so gorgeous layered on the Highland Heather cardstock! Thanks for sharing! Rochelle xo
This is a beautiful fun fold card Diane. That DSP is perfect for this type of card.
