Fun Fold Friday - Embraced With Love

 Hello and thank you for joining me for the last day this week. I have been using the lovely stamp set called Embraced With Love and I really have had great fun too. Today's of course is a Fun Fold card. It is not my design but one that the lovely Rachel Tessman from Stamp Your Art Out.com has made. 

I used a piece of Winter Meadow DSP (patterned paper) measuring 10.5cm by 30.5cm or in Imperial measurements, 4,1/8" by 12". I scored the paper at 0.5cm from the right hand side and 15cm or 5,7/8", basically in half. The paper piece needs to be the full length of the design, so that when the card opens you will see the image is Portrait...full length. You will see more in the pictures. Of course, you can actually make this so that the design is a landscape design instead.

Rachel calls this card a TWIST CORNER TRI-FOLD CARD. The twist you can see is the piece of DSP that is twisted back on itself on the very front. I used the dies from Unbounded Love for the sentiment mats and the leaves too which were die cut in Pretty Peacock card.

The idea is that as you lift the folded flap up it opens into the long card. I embossed the piece of card which is 10.5cm by 12.5cm or 5" by 4,1/8" I used the Boho Blue card with the spots embossing folders from the 3D Basic Shapes. I love these folders.

Once embossed, I added a white mat which had been stamped with the sentiment already. This mat was 10.5cm by 7cm or 4,1/8" by 2,3/4"

Above is the full length of the paper. I used a piece of DSP from the Winter Meadow papers. It is in beautiful blues and greens.

If you were to use some DSP in landscape position, you would be able to see the card this way and the portrait one would stand this way too but obviously it will be very long lengthwise. The paper was joined to the piece of card at the 0.5cm piece at the edge of your dsp.

 

 

Well, that's it from me for this week, Cary will be back on Monday with some more inspiration for you. Until I return, please take care, look after yourselves but as always.......

KEEP ON CRAFTING 

Thank you again,
