craftykarendesigns: Sending Smiles In Colours - Bookbinder Fun Fold Card

Hi Everyone,

This month we are showcasing the 2022-2024 In Colours which are a lovely, bright set of colours and I love them all.

I've used the In Colour Designer Series Paper too and teamed it with the Sending Smiles stamp set and dies for a lovely, bright, cheerful card Bookbinder Fun Fold card. Let me show you how I made it, there is also a Video Tutorial over on my YouTube Channel, link below.

1 piece of dsp 4 1/2" x 3 7/8", 1 piece 4" x 3 3/8", 1 piece 3 7/8" x 3/4"

Instructions

On the long side score the card stock at 4 3/4" and 5 3/4" and fold and burnish. The 5 3/4" score is the half way fold line and the 4 3/4" piece is the book opening.

Adhere the strip of dsp to the 1" strip which forms the binding. Wrap the ribbon around this section and tie in a bow on the front, then adhere this 1" strip on the inside, this forms the spine (bind) of the book fold.

Adhere the two dsp layers to the card front.

Stamp the flower and smaller sentiment on the scrap card and then die cut. Die cut the word 'Sending' and it's shadow piece. Adhere these pieces to the card front on dimensionals.

Stamp a sentiment and another flower on the remaining piece of white for the inside of the card and adhere it in place.

I do hope that you like my card, click on the link above to watch the tutorial.
