Lotus flower

 Lotus flower

I'm over on Blank Page Muse blog today. 

If you know me, you know I like to make moveable, mechanical or just different style cards.  This card is called a tent fold card.
You can see in this side view photo how the stamped card sticks out above the card.
Measurements/instructions
base: 8 1/2" x 4 1/4"  score at 4 1/4" to form the folded card.
top layers(layer sticking above the card): cut out with Unity stamp co. stitched square dies
front layers: 4 1/8" x 4 1/8"
1.  adhere the front layers to folded card.  
2.  stamp small cream layer with image then layer with pattern paper layer. 
3.  put glue only on bottom half of stamped layer, then stick to top of card, leaving only enough of the stamped image hanging off the card, to make the card measure to 5 1/2" tall.  The card will measure 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", and will fit into an A2 envelope.


4.  adhere ribbon on front of card.  To create ruffle just fold over the ribbon while adhering.  Add bow on top of ruffle ribbon.

Tent cards

 Tent cards

stamps used:  Altenew Calming Reverie stamp/die set

I do like to bring back old style cards, and/or techniques. These are called Tent cards.  

basic instructions:

1.  base card is 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" square card with a layer of Altenew Essential Rock collection paper pack. This is a top folding card.

2.  stamp, die cut the flowers/leaves from the Calming Reverie stamp/die set.  Adhere the flower to the top of the card, leaving only enough of the flower hanging off the card to make the card measure to 5 1/2" tall.  The card will measure out 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and will fit into an A2 envelope.

3.  add self sticking gems to finish off the card.

Thank you for stopping by and please come back again soon.
