Labeled with Love Butterfly Bookbinding Card. The Project Share Project Blog Hop - July 2025 - CASE a Demo

 Good Morning Everyone,

Today I'm taking part in The Project Share Blog Hop. You may have seen that each week, us four crafty friends share each others projects on a Thursday - Well, on the first Saturday of the month we hop - creating a brand new project guided by a theme. This month's theme is 'CASE a fellow Project Share Demo'. 

I've decided to CASE Heather and her fabulous Bookbinding Fold card. I love this fold because it's a simple and easy fold, but adds that little bit more to your project. I Didn't have any black and white DSP so I decided to use the Butterflies to create my background.

What do you think?

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

Take the Basic Black cardstock and score at 5 3/4" and 6 3/4". Fold the cardstock in half as you would normally to create a card base, but then fold the front piece back on itself. 

Stamp a Butterfly in the lower right corner then add this to the inside of the card.

Add the thin piece of Basic White to the 'spine' Piece,  Wrap the ribbon around the thin piece securing on the back. Then  slip a length of ribbon under the secured ribbon and tie a knot I have added a glue dot under the knot to keep it in place and reasonably flat. 

Add some glue to the back of the 'spine' piece and adhere down - just this thin 1" section. The smaller piece glued down against the back piece creates the book bind element.

Stamp the two butterfly images all over the remaining piece of Basic White and then adhere to the remaining space on the card front.

I didn't have the embossing folder Heather used - so I took a 3" x 2" piece of basic white and scored it at 1/8" increments - this gave a flatter, but similar effect - add this this to the centre of the stamped panel.

On a scrap stamp the outline image in black and add Happy Birthday into the centre with Petunia Pop. Cut out using the coordinating die or punch and add to the scored panel.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - I sure had fun creating it! It's a very simple card - but I think it looks great
