I first saw this type of card on Sandy's blog HERE. I followed the link she gave to Splitcoast Stampers HERE, and proceeded to make the card below:

| The decorated inside . . . |
I used SCS's instructions - which are great and worked out first time as it's pretty straightforward.
For ease of reference, the details are below:
BASE CARD
Piece of card measuring 5.5" x 11", scored down from the long edge at 1.75", 5.5" and 9.75".
Fold in half at 5.5" score line, then fold both flaps over. One flap goes over the top of the other.
PATTERNED PAPER (You only need ONE piece of 6" x 6" paper)
5.25" x 3.5" (adhere to main area of card front)
5.25" x 1.5" (adhere to largest front flap)
5.25" x 1.0" (adhere to smallest front flap)
CARD WRAP
11" x 1" piece of card.
Wrap this around whole card and adhere the overlapping ends. Decorate with die-cuts or punched items and a sentiment, as desired.
I had a lot of fun making this card, and if you have a go, I hope you enjoy making one too.
HAPPY CRAFTING
I really like the folded effect and how the Happy Birthday is raised and slightly overlapping the oval base. The sprigs either side make it all come together!
ReplyDeleteTotally GORGEOUS make and in such a splendid colour too, pretty sure that the intended recipient will be bowled over to receive it too
