Fun fold Friday Ornamental Envelopes

 Today's fun fold Friday card is the last card that I'll be sharing this week showcasing the Ornamental Envelopes stamps. 

I have chosen to use another unusual colour pallette for a Christmas card. The rich teal and soft turquoise highlighted with white embossing is rather elegant. 

The card is a 14.85cm x 14.85cm square base with an appature that allows the center to pop through. The center panel is a piece of card measuring 14.85cm x 29.7cm scored at 14.85cm  and then at 7.4cm in from both ends. On one end mark in 2cm from each edge on the short side and cut upto the first score line. Then cut along the score line and remove the panel. The scorelines should be folded mountain,  mountain and valley. The first panel, only the 2 legs are remaining, is  attached to the back of the front of the card. The opposite end of the card panel is attached to the inside right side of the card base.  Please see the photos below for a better explanation 😅 Now it's time to decorate you card. I used circle dies to create a center panel and decorated it with baubles. I used the stamps from the Ornamental Envelopes stamps to create a wresth around the appature.  

Well that's it from me if you'd like to purchas the stamp and any of the other materials I've used this week please click HERE

This is one of the cards made for the #2biggirlscraftingretreat.

 Cut a piece of A4 in half at 14.85cm. You will only need 1 of the pieces. 

SCORE at 10.5cm and fold each side individually to the centre and reinforce the folds.

 On the outer 2 score lines, mark 5cm from top and bottom edges on both sides.

SCORE from these points to the nearest corners as in the picture below.

 I used my Stampin' Trimmer for my scoring each section.

 DECORATE with card. 1st mat

I numbered all of the sections 1-10 except the inner 2.

Panel 1 and 2 in card 14.2cm by 4.7cm

On each strip, the inside edge, mark 4.7cm along the edge at the top and bottom of each piece.  

Right hand side of the left piece and left hand side of the right piece. Keep the cut off pieces.

They will look like the sketch below.

 Decorate with Designer Series Paper (DSP) 2nd mat.

Cut 2 strips of DSP 13.5cm by 4.5cm. Mark on inner edges of each piece at 4.5cm at top and bottom.

Keep the cut off pieces for the triangles.

 In card, cut 2 pieces 4.7cm by 4.7cm and cut diagonally.

In DSP cut 2 pieces 4.5cm by 4.5cm and cut diagonally.

 Do not decorate the 2 centre panels. They will be glued or taped together.

 Once decorated, tape or glue the 2 centre pieces together, Fold back the triangles at top and bottom.

 After decorating the panels, I cut some Stitched Shapes Circles out and stamped a message on.
