Hi Everyone,
I thought I would make a cheery card today using these very cute little owls and you know I love a fun fold card. I'm not sure what this one is really called, but I've called it a flip front. Let me show you how I made it.
Materials
1 piece of bermuda bay card 4 1/8" x 11 3/4", 1 piece 3" x 4", 1 piece 1 1/2" x 5"
1 piece if basic white 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", scraps for the stamping and sentiment
1 piece of dsp 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 2 pieces 2 3/4" x 3 3/4"
Adorable Owls stamp set
Early Espresso ink
Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends
Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends
Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends
Decorative Circle Punch
Trimmer
Simply Scored
Bone Folder
Multipurpose Adhesive
Instructions
On the long side score the card at 5 7/8" and fold and burnish to make a tent fold card.
Score the 1 1/2" x 5" strip at 1" on the long side and fold and burnish.
Adhere this strip to the inside back of the card at about the half way point so that the score line is just outside the card - this will allow the strip to fold over the top of the card when closed.
Stamp a sentiment on the basic white card piece and add to the inside of the card so that it covers the 1" end of the strip.
Adhere the dsp layers to the front and fold over the strip so that it is laying across the card front. Adhere 1 of the dsp layers to the bermuda bay mat and adhere in place (add the glue to the strip, not the mat layer. Add the remaining dsp layer on the reverse of this piece to cover up the strip.
Stamp two owls on some scrap and colour in with the Stampin' Blends and then punch them out with the Decorative Circle Punch. Adhere one in place on the front flap and then one underneath on the card front as a surprise.
Stamp a sentiment on a scrap of white and trim it down, add this to the front underneath the owl.
