Recently I was inspired by a card I saw created by Marianne' Papirverden with this fold, and wanted to try my hand at it. I have figured out a few things doing this, one being you do not want to use a really heavy cardstock for the base of the card, it makes this really thick to fold....and if I do another (which I most likely will) I will probably do it more like hers and round the outside panels. I am also considering using a brad on the next one so that the top swings up to hold a message as well as for a signature, as it is now you would have to write a note and sign the back of this. In spite of what I learned I do like this, I am especially fond of the DP, a very feminine look. You can find Marianne's blog by clicking above if you want to see her card, it is quite lovely.

ReplyDeleteYour card came out beautiful Sherry. I love that background paper too, and the gold die cut around the scripture is beautiful. That is a really fun card to make, but I think it takes more than one time to get it the way you want it!
