Potted Geraniums Open Panel Birthday Card. Fun Fold Friday

  Good Morning Everyone

Happy Friday, I hope you have all had a good week.

It's Fun Fold Friday, and today I wanted to share an Open Panel or Split Panel card with you. This is a ridiculously easy Fun Fold to create and I think it looks so lovely decorated with the Potted Geraniums Stamp Set & Dies.

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

Take the Starry Sky card stock and place in front of you horizontally. Take a pencil and mark (in Pencil) at 2" from the right hand side at the top and bottom, and also 2" across towards the right from the score line. Join the dots to create two straight lines.

Place the card in the trimmer, and cut down both of the lines so the you release two strips.



With the larger piece of card the you cut away from, burnish that score line to make it nice and crisp. Add a piece of DSP to the small section.

Also the same sized piece fits one of the cut sections and the Basic White piece fits the other piece.

Add the large Basic White piece to the inside of the card.

The remaining piece of Starry Sky card stock (is the piece for the centre) is slightly smaller. Add the coordinating DSP.

Place the larger piece of card in front of you with the fold at the top, then place the 2" strip of Card along the bottom edge of the card - making sure it is flush with the piece behind and straight along all the three sides. Don't glue this to anything!

Add some adhesive to the top and bottom of the remaining panel (holding it vertical). Place this down so that the adhesive stick to both the top flap and the bottom piece to hold it all together. Be sure to do a no-glue practice run for placement to make sure that you won't be adding glue where the 'open space' is.

Whilst this is laid flat, stamp the sentiment onto the basic white back panel in Starry Sky ink, making sure it is central in that section

Bring in your Cut & Emboss Machine and cut out the following to create your geranium and pot:-

1pc - Solid leaf in Pear Pizzazz

1pc - leaf detail and stem in Old Olive

1pc - Solid Flower image in Blushing Bride

1pc - Flower detail in Calypso Coral

1pc - Flower pot in Cajun Craze

1pc - Flower pot rim in Soft Suede

Piece all these together to build up your image.

Add this to the Basic White Vertical Panel, making sure not to overhang on the left, or cover any of the sentiment to the right. BE sure if you have any of this image sitting over the panel below that you need to be wary of where you are applying the glue so that you don't stick the card shut!!
