FUN FOLD FRIDAY

I was just playing with some of the Painted Seasons products and a different fold for today.  Here is the card I came up with.

And here is what it looks like when you open it up:

I did not have a square framelit large enough for the front so I needed to cut out a square.  First I cut out a 3 1/4" square out of a piece of copy paper, laid it on the front of the card and traced around it to get the square shape where I wanted it on the front of the card.

Then I used my paper cutter to cut out the square following the traced lines.  Save the piece that you cut out because you will need that.

 Cut out pieces:

One 3 3/4" square of DSP - cut out an inside square of 3 1/2" to make your DSP frame

Inside white layer measuring 4 x 5 1/4.

Green 3 1/4" square (this is what you cut out of the front of the card).

White piece cut out to be 1/16" smaller than the green 3 1/4" cut out square.

One green piece measuring 3 x 5, scored at 1" on the short side.

In the picture below, I have already stamped on the white layered piece and adhered it to the 3 1/4" square.

Adhere the 1" scored section to the inside layer of the card using Tombow, Fast Fuse or Sticky Strip.

Then put Tombow on the back of your green square piece (only on half) and attach it to the large folded piece.  When you do this, close your card so that you can see that the square will line up perfectly with the square hole on the front.

Randomly stamp any image you want on the front of the card around the edge of your cut out square.  Then attach your DSP frame around the square hole. 

Supplies:

Shaded Spruce, Whisper White card stock

Shaded Spruce, Pool Party, Petal Pink, Lemon Lime Twist ink

Painted Seasons DSP, framelits, and stamp set

This card is not hard to make and goes together quickly.  I actually adapted it from a swap card I had received that had a larger inside piece with more folds.  I decided this would work, use less paper, an give me more space on the inside to put my message.
