Storybook Moments fun fold card

 Small but perfectly cute today's inspiration maybe small in stature but it sure has the wow feature! I'm calling this fun fold a book diorama card.  Closed it lies flat but pops up to a beautiful diorama once open. It's made using the amazing Storybook Moments pattern papers and the amazing Storybook Friends stamps and the gorgeous dies that coordinate with them. 

The frames in these dies are just soo elegant 😍. The dies not only cut the stamped images but also some of the cute critters from the pattern papers , saving on the fussy cutting for those who aren't so keen 😉.

The front of this project shows how the addition of one of the elegant frames over a piece of pattern paper makes for a really pretty but oh so easy to create card front.

The card starts with a piece of cardstock measuring  10.5cm x 29.7cm scored at 1cm,10cm, 11cm, 20cm. Die cut or cut and appature in the center of the panel after the 1st scoreline, the 1cm one. Then reinforce all the folds starting at the 1cm scoreline.  The go mountain,  mountain,  mountain then valley.  The 1cm panel is adhered to the last panel next to the scoreline. So that it looks as below.

To secure the card I have wrapped a length of ribbon around the card covering it on the back with a mat of cardstock which can be decorated as desired.  I chose to use a 3d embossing folder called Distressed Tile.  Covering the ribbon on the back ensures it doesn't get lost.

Once opened the card shows off it's wow factor with its diorama appearance. I have decorated the inside with another of the gorgeous Storybook Friends die cut frames and another distressed tile embossed panel. 

A piece of pattern paper from the Storybook moments pack is adhered behind the appature. One of the cute critters is die cut from the pattern papers as well. 

 

I added another panel on the inside to write my message on that I also stamped my sentiment on and decorated with a little tone on tone stamping.

The overall size of this cute card is 10.5cm x 9.7cm , roughly 4¼" square. But it does fold flat and fit in a standard envelope!
