Sending Birthday Wishes - Angled Gatefold

Another fun-fold card, with a belly band, to share today. I think it's called Angled Gatefold, at least that's what I'm calling it. I wanted to play with my Sending Smiles bundle and this is what I came up with.  It's one of the cards we made in my recent class. I used the Pretty Flowers embossing folder to emboss the front panels and bottom inch or so of the inside and back panels.  

The card measures 4 1/4" x 5 3/4" and will fit in a regular C6 envelope. You'll find the instructions below. All products used are listed at the bottom.

I added a panel at the back for somewhere to write your message.

1. Base card: 11" x 5 3/4"
2. Score on the long side: 3 3/8" at each end 
3. Both ends, mark at 1 3/4" down from the top as shown and 1" in at the bottom as shown
4. Both ends, cut from the 3 3/8" score line to the 1 3/4" mark and then from the 1 /3/4" mark to the 1" mark
5. Angled inserts: two 3 1/8" x 5 1/2". Measurements for the angles are exactly the same, 1 3/4" and 1"

And because I had stamped an extra panel, I used it to make a regular A6 card (UK size).

Santa Paws is Coming to Town

I have had so much fun playing with the Sweet Little Stockings Bundle and coordinating designer series paper. Santa Paws is surely coming to town. I'm not sure what this fun fold is called. I guess it's a pop up card. 

I used Pool Party for the base card and Stampin' Blends to colour in the cat and dog. 

Happy stamping x

Hoppy Birthday

This double-diamond fold card was fun to make.  I love how it turned out.  I used the Sale-A-Bration stamp set So Hoppy Together.  And the 'Birthday' greeting is from the new Well Said set on page 27 of the Spring/Summer catalogue. 

You can get this set for free with just a £45 spend during Sale-A-Bration, ends 31 March.  Do contact me if you would like to place your order or shop via my online store, top right, and don't forget to use the Host Code to receive a gift from me.
