Welcome to Just Julie B Stampin' and to the Creation Station Blog Hop for the month of July! This month we're creating with One New Core Color, One New In Color and White! I chose Lost Lagoon for the New Core Color, and technically it's a returning color, but still new to the Core Collection! - I Love it's bluish-green and soft coastal feel! And I chose Pebbled Path for the New In Color. - I Love this awesome new neutral!!
And then I decided to use the Online Exclusives set and coordinating punch, Tropical Leaf. There's just such a nice simplicity to the whole bundle!
I also decided to use a new Fun Fold I recently learned. I'm not sure if there's a name for the fold, but it has a Z-Fold vibe, with a bit of a slide action!
Here is the card, completely flat! That is a nice feature, that it folds completely flat so it will fit into an envelope. Easy for mailing!
This top view shows how there is a back piece, and a front piece that are connected with a folded cardstock piece (technically an S-fold, not a Z-fold!).
And this is an important feature - the front flap does fold back so that you're able to lay it flat to write on the inside! Important stuff - the practicality of it! Not always focusing on just the cute stuff!
Back to my favorite view of the card, just to highlight that I most Love all the Lost Lagoon features - including the ribbon, cut in half down the middle, and the Iridescent Pastel Gems embellishments (which are listed as Balmy Blue - but match almost perfectly with Lost Lagoon, so I felt that was fair game to include them!).
I hope you enjoyed your stop by! And I can't wait to see what the awesome Kathy Kartak has in store for us!
See you soon,
Julie B
