Butterfly Kisses Birthday Wishes Joy Fold Card. Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. August 2022

Good Afternoon Everyone

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm taking part in the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop and this month we are all creating Fun Folds.

I decided to create a Joy Fold as it's one of my absolutely favourite folds. So quick and simple to create, but it looks fabulous.

Measurements

Starry Sky Card Stock

1pc - 4 1/8" x 8 7/8", scored at 3"

1pc - 3" x 7 1/2", scored at 3 3/4"

1pc - scrap

Basic White Card Stock

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

1pc - scrap

Butterfly Kisses DSP

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

1pc - 2 5/8" x 3 7/8"

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

---------------------------------------

Take the Starry Sky Card Stock pieces and fold along the score line.

Take the larger piece of Starry Sky card stock and place it in front of you with the fold to the left. Add the largest DSP panel to the inside, and the second largest to the smaller card front flap you created.

With the smaller piece of Starry Sky card stock hold that so the fold is on the right. Add the last of the DSP panels to the front and the plain piece of basic white to the inside.

Stamp the sentiment in Starry Sky ink onto a scrap of Basic White Card Stock and cut out using the Double oval punch to get a smooth Oval. Also cut out a scallop oval in Starry Sky card stock. Layer these together

Add this sentiment piece and the fussy cut butterflies to the front of the smaller 'card' section, making sure that if you have any butterflies overhanging towards the right fold, the need to be clear enough to open the card.

This is what the card should look like if laid flat, hopefully you can see how the pieces lay and slot together.

I hope you enjoyed my project, please continue through the hop by clocking on the links below for lots more Fun Fold inspiration.
