First flap opened…
And the second flap…
I used the Sentimental Framing stamp set for the sentiments. I love how a stamp set includes sentiments that fit together – it’s perfect to use for outside and inside of the card.
This layout is fairly easy and you just need a couple of cardstock pieces and your choice of DSP.
- Score a 4-1/4” x 11″ card base at 5-1/2” and fold.
- To make the flap, score a 4-1/4” x 5-1/2” piece of cardstock at 3-3/4” and fold. Adhere a 3-1/2” x 4” DSP piece on the front side of the flap. Put adhesive at the back panel of the flap and adhere on the card inside.
- Adhere a 4” x 5-1/4” insert piece on the card inside.
- You can add small accent piece on the card front and propped it up with dimensionals to serve as a latch.
You are not bound to these measurements though. And it’s the beauty of card making! You can take inspiration from a card layout but make your own version of it. It may be as simple as changing the orientation or some of the measurements.
The card on right is a perfect example of it. I made a mistake cutting – but that can actually be a good thing and lead to another card variation!
