Fun Fold Card using Designer Series Paper

As it's been ages since this blog has seen any action, I thought I'd join in on my team blog hop this weekend. This is a lovely card that can be adapted for any occasion, and it looks far more impressive than it really is!

Supplies

Base card  - 10.5 x 14.8cm

Basic White cardstock – 9.3 x 13.6cm

DSP –  30 x 14.2cm, scored at 5, 10, 20 and 25cm on the long edge

Scraps of white and green

Flirty Flamingo ribbon 45cm

Equipment

In Symmetry stamp set

Rectangular Postage stamp punch

Symmetrical Stems border punch

Just Jade ink pad

Instructions

1. Glue 45cm ribbon across the base card approximately 8cm from the bottom.

2. With the DSP horizontally in front of you, measure 5cm down from top left corner and 10cm across and mark between those points. Using the paper trimmer or scissors cut off the corner along the line. Repeat on right hand side.

3. Fold the DSP along the score lines, using the picture for guidance, forming a centrally opening ‘gate’.

4. Adhere the white panel inside the DSP then adhere the whole thing to the base card on top of the ribbon, with the ribbon extending out on either side.

5. Stamp sentiment onto white scrap and punch out using rectangular postage stamp punch.

6. Punch out stem shapes using Symmetrical Stems border punch.

7. Adhere sentiment on ONE side of the DSP so it can open. Adhere stems to decorate.

8. Close card and tie bow using ribbon. To stand the card up simply remove the ribbon and open up the sides.
