More than one fold

Morning all!  It’s been a while since I’ve made a morning post!  I actually made this card last night….inspired by Phill’s class….but waited for the morning to take the pics!

To make the card I’ve cut an A3 sheet of card in half lengthways.  I’ve measured along the long side and scored and folded at 14.5cm and 29cm.  I’ve then folded the front flap back on itself to create the front step part of the card.

I’ve matted Baja Breeze card with the Elegant Soiree papers from Stampin’ Up!, using two different patterns to give a contrast.  The image (one of my favourites from Lotv) is matted onto baja breeze too and then 3d’d on to the back fold of the card.  I’ve coloured Whisper White ribbon using a Stampin’ Write marker to get the exact Baja Breeze colour and tied this to the top of the back fold.

I’ve used the scallop trim punch on Baja Breeze CS and stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso.  The ‘Congratulations’ sentiment is from the Curly Cute stamp set.  This is a brilliant set because the sentiments are a good size and include ‘Thank You’, ‘Season’s Greetings’, ‘Happy Birthday’ and ‘Thank You’.  Well worth its £16.95 price tag.  Finally I’ve embellished it with some cute little flowers.

So…all in all, quite a simple card to make….but it looks very elegant!
