Fold Back Card another quick and easy Fancy Fold. Great to show off lots of beautiful papers

I love a quick card that gives me the opportunity to use lots of matching papers  - because lets face it we all have plenty!

I call this the FOLD BACK card - not sure if it has a proper name but this is how you can make it.

Card base 14.5 x 21 cm        Score at 3.7 cm and then at 10.5. ( the 3.7 score line is a feature on the metric scoring plate 

DSP     

cut one 14cm x 3.5 cm -  this adheres to the front fold back flap

cut one 14cm x 4 cm    -   this adheres to the inside of the card base on your                writing panel - it is slightly wider so the edge is not visible when your card is    closed

cut two 14cm x 6.5cm    these adhere to the wider panels on the front and one on the inside.

Mat for writing cut one 14cm x 10cm

Fold your card base in half as normal and then fold the right edge of the front page back towards the spine of the card- then decorate the flap with a strip of DSP and layer coordinating pieces in the different locations to display them all. Create a sentiment panel and adhere it to the front flap. Voila!

This can easily be adapted to any occasion and with any papers and colours. Your sentiment panel can be any size,and decorated with any elements.


I hope you have a creative week and remember,

 post something pretty!"

Envelope Dies perfect for an Acetate Tent card and some new DSP

After creating yesterday's cards I was on a roll and created this one using the beautiful Gilded Autumn DSP and the Fancy Phrases stamp set.  I really love the sentiments in this set.  It is such a simple design and easy to create. You can find all the directions on yesterday's post for Just Add Ink (JAI#518)  I watercoloured the white leaf after I had adhered the gold veins just to soften it, and I added a strip of mint DSP to the front of one of the tent stands as the white was a bit stark. That's the cool thing about this design, you can change it up plenty of ways. I'm sure we can all send these type of cards at the moment. I hope you are safe and well, and staying connected, wherever you are. I hope you have a creative week and remember,  "don't just post online,  post something pretty!" cheers, Liz Product List Ornamental Envelopes Bundle [ 155168 ] $83.50 Envelopes  Dies [ 153531 ] $63.00 Shimmery White A4 Car
