Hi Everyone,
I've made a Triple Fold card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop and the theme was 'Masculine', I really struggle with making more masculine cards because I just love flowers and bright pretty colours and that doesn't suit everyone. So, this time I have used Night of Navy card stock and the Sun Prints dsp (just leaves so I think I can get away with it haha). Let me show you how I made it.
Materials
1 piece of night of navy card stock 5 7/8" x 11 3/4", 1 piece 1 1/2" x 11"
2 pieces of dsp 1 3/4" x 5 5/8", 2 pieces 2 3/8" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 4" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 2 5/8" x 5 5/8"
1 piece of basic white 2 5/8" x 5 5/8", scrap for the sentiment
Night of Navy ink
Charming Sentiments Bundle
Trimmer
Simply Scored
Bone Folder
Multipurpose adhesive
Instructions
On the long side, score the night of navy card at 4 1/4", 7" and 9 3/4" and fold and burnish starting with the centre of the card (valley, mountain, valley).
I have used 3 different dsp patterns but you can do it however you like. Starting from the front section, add the layers 1 each on both side of first and second folds, 1 to the outside, the inside layer with be the basic white layer to write a message, then the largest piece at the back (see pictures).
Stamp a sentiment on the basic white layer and add to the inside of the card.
Stamp a sentiment on the scrap of white and die cut with the corresponding die.
Loosely wrap the strip around the centre of the card to make the belly band and adhere the layers together at the back. Adhere the sentiment to the front in the centre and the card is complete, I hope that you like it.
