Cottage Rose Landscape Offset Gatefold Birthday Card. Fun Fold Friday

 Good Morning Everyone

Happy Friday, not long now until the weekend? I hope you have some wonderful plans. We havent got much planned, just kind of a wing it a see weekend for us! Haha.

So, as it's Friday, we have a selection of Fun Folds to share with you.

I've used the fabulous Abigail Rose Suite to create a lovely Offeet Gate fold card. I've cracked out the Stampin Blends again today, but for a very soft and kind of vintage feel.

Measurements

Soft Suede Card Stock

1pc - 11 3/4" x 4 1/8"

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

Very Vanilla Card Stock 

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

Scraps

Abigail Rose DSP 

1pc - 3 3/4" x 4"

1pc - 1 7/8" x 4"

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

‐-----------------------------------------

Take the piece of Soft Suede Suede Stock and score along the long side at 3 7/8" and 9 5/8".

Hold the card in front of you and fold from the edge into the centre on both sides, making two "doors". They should meet slightly off centre. Make sure you burnish  well.

Add the Very Vanilla card to the inside and two of the DSP panels to the "doors". 

Layer up the remaining piece of DSP to the soft Suede mat and add adhesive to the back, to and 2/3rds from the right. Add this to the card front. Making sure that the glue only sticks to the left hand side. If the glue goes over it will stick you card shut.

On scraps of Very Vanilla stamp the large flower in early Espresso ink. Once dry colour in with Blends. I used Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Ivory.

Add this to the card front towards the left of your contrasting panel, over hanging slightly.

Stamp the sentiment twice onto some scraps of very Vanilla and then cut out. The reason for two is that you take one word from one stamp and the other from the second. As the words are quite close together it's hard to get a decent border around the words if you just use a single stamp. Sponge the edges very lightly and add to the card.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today, please check out the links below to see what Donna and Karen have both made
