Hello Friday! Today’s card is a fun fold using the Everyday Arches Dies, the Everyday Skies 6×6 DSP and more. It begins with a full sheet of card stock scored at 4 1/4 on the short side, turn and score at 5 1/2 on the long side. Depending how you want the card to fold will determine which quadrant to remove. For this card, it is in portrait style and I removed the upper left quadrant along the score lines. Burnish all score lines. I trimmed an additional 1/16″ off the inside upper quadrant so it would fold nicely.
In the first photo you see the card closed and the image of the plane that peeks through the ‘window’. In the second photo, it shows the card fully open, with the upper left quadrant removed. :O)
Directions:
- Adhere a 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 panel of DSP to the card front, inking only along the edges
- Using the Everyday Arches Dies, 3rd from largest, center die on the front panel and die cut, creating this wonderful window.
- Remove the DSP from the card stock die cut piece. This is a bit tricky as the holes in the die cut tend to hold the pieces together. Be careful not to tear either the DSP or the card stock.
- Adhere the DSP to the inside of the upper inside panel of the card as shown in photo 2. I stamped mine using the Adventurous Sky stamp set for the sentiment and the Everyday Arches stamp set for the airplane and Night of Navy ink.
- With the upper flip flap closed, adhere another piece of the Everyday Skies DSP, 4 x 5 1/4, to the flip panel, closed – photo 3.
- With that die cut card stock window that you saved, die cut it again, this time using the 5th from largest die in the Everyday Arches Dies, making it a smaller arch.
- Close the card front and add arch to the ‘star’ covered panel, centering with the card front arch.
- With Basic White card stock and the 7th from largest die in the Everyday Arches Dies, die cut a white arch.
- Stamp this piece using the Adventurous Sky stamp set and Balmy blue ink for the clouds.
- Stamp the sentiment using Night of Navy ink and the coordinating Everyday Arches stamp set. Adhere to the Balmy Blue panel, centering it.
- Stamp the airplane in Smoky Slate ink on a scrap of Basic White, using the Adventurous Sky stamp set.
- Add color to the plane with Stampin’ Blends Balmy Blue
- Die cut propellers from Basic White scrap using the Adventurous Sky Dies. Add with dab of liquid glue.
- Add plane to this panel with dimensionals.
- The last panel – the sentiment panel… stamp the clouds from the Adventurous Sky stamp set in Balmy Blue ink. I did this twice overlapping just a tiny bit.
- Stamp the sentiment in Night of Navy ink – also from Adventurous Sky stamp set.
- Envelope…
- Add another piece of the Everyday Skies DSP to the flap, trim.
- Stamp the clouds on the lower portion of the envelope front with Balmy Blue ink and the Adventurous Sky stamp set.
- Stamp the airplane from Everyday Arches stamp set in Night of Navy ink.
This is just a great masculine card! And a fun fold to boot just makes it all the more fun.
