Welcome to a very fun card project that will Wow the receiver! I'm not sure if it has an official name because I just kind of came up with the idea as I designed the card so, I'm calling it a Double Fold Card. You'll see why as we go over the design. Let's take a look!
The Designer Paper I used is Waterside Retreat. I have a couple of masculine birthdays coming up and this will be perfect! I'm not into fishing but find the other patterns very pretty and relaxing.
Here is the closed card. You can see the "mini" card layers on the front. I used a variety of the patterns to make this card as well as some stamped die cuts.
I love the idea of the sentiment I made into a sign. I inked the edges, glued some twine to the back and placed a gem to look like it's hanging on a nail.
This is how it started. Of course this design would look good in any colors and patterns, so don't restrict yourself! The pattern papers are all cut 1/4" smaller than the card stock to make the border.
When you start to open the card you see a panel hiding under the mini card layering on the closed front. The inside of the mini card is decorated with more pattern paper.
After opening the card base flap you get to see the sentiment and decorations added to the final "page" of the card. The mini card is glued to the inside of this "page" before the sentiment layer is added. That's what the narrow, scored piece is for....gluing to the inside. I just carefully lined it up so the fold was against the edge of the card base then closed the card so it would stick together.
What a fun card to make and send! I love how many of the patterns I can use with this design. You can be sure I'm going to be trying it out with other pattern papers for lots of different looks! The sky is the limit!!!
Thanks for stopping by. Come back often!
