craftykarendesigns: Pretty Perennial Flowers For Every Season Bookbinding Fold Card

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing a card that I made for a swap recently. The theme was 'Fun Fold Card' and I thought I would combine one of the designer series papers from the Annual Catalogue and a stamp set from the January-June Mini Catalogue. I have used the Flowers for Every Season dsp and the pretty Perennials stamp set with a favourite die set and a favourite punch. Let me show you how I made it.

Materials

1 piece of misty moonlight card stock 4 1/8" x 11 1/2"

1 piece of dsp 4 3/8" x 4", 1 piece 7/8" x 4"

1 piece of basic white 4 3/8" x 4"

Scraps of dsp to punch butterflies

Scraps of misty moonlight and basic white card for the rectangles

Pretty Perennial stamp set

Stitched So Sweetly dies

Stampin Cut and Emboss Machine

Misty moonlight ink

Bumblebee ink

Basic pearls

Snail Mail Twine Combo Pack

Trimmer

Simply scored

Bone folder

Multipurpose adhesive

Dimensionals

Instructions

On the long side, score the misty moonlight card at 5 3/4" and 6 3/4" and fold in half and burnish and then fold the other one back on itself - this bit will be glued together later to form the book binding element.

Adhere the dsp mat layers to the front and the spine section.

Wrap the twine around the spine piece twice so that is crosses over and so that when you adhere the two sections together it will be trapped between the layers.

Die cut two rectangles using the misty moonlight and the basic white so that one will sit on top of the other.

Stamp the sentiment on the white layer using the misty moonlight ink, then decorate with a couple of small flowers and add to the card front with dimensionals.

Stamp some flowers on the remaining piece of white card stock and adhere on the inside of the card. I've also added a strip of matching dsp as well.

Punch out two small butterflies (I have used one of the other sheets from the paper pack) and add to the sentiment mat. Decorate the small flowers and the butterflies with pearls

There you are a very quick and simple fun fold card.
