Ahoy There Matey! Happy Birthday Flip Front Fold Card. Stampin Birds Showcase Blog Hop

Good Morning Everyone,

It's the last Saturday of the month, so that means we have our Stampin Birds Showcase Blog Hop. As usual we don't have a particular theme - we are just showing off some of our wonderful projects!

I've used the Pirates & Mermaid stamp set and a fab Flip Front Fold to create this very different Birthday card I'll be sending out too my friends little boy on his birthday!

Funnily, I'd asked Karen & Donna in our little chat group what the name of this fold along with a very poor description followed by an equally poor quick mock up. I knew what I wanted to do - just couldn't find it, then on the day I sat down to work it - so thank you Donna, I took your measurements hehe...

Measurements

Smoky Slate Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 5 3/4"

1pc - 8 1/4" x 3", scored at 4 1/8"

Brights 6x6" DSP Pack

Pacific Point

2pc - 3 7/8" x 1 1/4"

1pc - 3 7/8" x 2 3/4"

Basic White Card Stock

1pc - 3 7/8" x 2 3/4"

Take the larger piece of Smoky slate and the two this strips of DSP. Add the DSP to either short end making sure you are evenly spaced, like so...

Now take the other piece of Smoky Slate and fold along the score line, burnish well so you have a really nice crisp fold. Add the remaining piece onto the front, and the basic white piece to the inside.

Add glue to the back of this piece and add it to the other piece of making sure that the fold is towards the top and it's all lined up evenly and straight in between the two piece of DSP.

On some scraps of basic white, stamp a pirate and the sentiments in versamark, and 6 treasure chests in early espresso ink.

Colour these in with a selection of blends and then fussy cut. Add three chests to thin strips of DSP, and on the Flip panel, add the sentiments and the Pirate.
