I dearly love a card that opens in another way than the traditional. This one, while opening sort of the original way, but not really, is a fun variation.
Read on for a tutorial so you can find out what's a little different in this catchy card.
SUPPLIES:
Burgundy cardstock
Creamy cardstock
Coordinating patterned paper
Burgundy ink
Sentiment of choice
Big Shot
Hexagon die
Decorative piece die
Gems
DIRECTIONS:
Fold a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of burgundy cardstock in half, creasing it well with a bone folder. Score the front half at 1 1/2" and fold that back against the rest of that flap. Glue it down to become part of the front of the card.
Cut two 1" x 5 1/4" strips of coordinating patterned paper.. Glue one of the strips to the inside flap of the card so the borders are the same at the right side, the top and the bottom. Glue the second strip to the flap that you just glued down, keeping the same margins.
You're almost there already!
Stamp in in a coordinating ink a sentiment. Die cut this with an appropriately sized die. I used cream cardstock because it coordinated with my patterned paper.
Die cut a frilly decorative piece that fits well behind the sentiment label. Glue this to the back of the sentiment piece.
Add bling above and below the sentiment.
Use Dimensionals to add this to the left flap about an inch from the bottom of the card.
Fun
Smiles.
