The title says it all. Today is the day to share another FUN FOLD CARD with you.
Today, I have a card that was inspired by a Dawn Olchefski creation. I adapted her Origami Shadowbox Fold card to suit A4 measurements and the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper I have chosen for this card. This is Dawn’s card.
And, here is my adaptation.
After selecting the DSP design, I prepared the Mango Melody card base.
The Basic White background layer was embossed using the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder. Then I adhered a piece of the DSP and a strip of Evening Evergreen cardstock over the embossed white background.
The envelope and card insert both have 1/2″ strips of the Designer Series Paper added.
For the origami shadowbox fold, I cut a piece of the DSP to 6″x 6″. I marked the centre and then brought each of the four corners up to that point. A bone folder was used to crisply burnish the folded edges. To finish the fold, the corners were then turned back until they were 1/4″ past the first burnished edge. These folds were also burnished.
Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to pop up the origami fold up on the card front.
The ‘thank you’ greeting was stamped in Mango Melody and cut using one of the Layering Circles Dies. THis piece also had dimensionals attached so that it would sit up in the centre space of the origami fold.
To finish the card I added a bow tied from the Evening Evergreen Windowpane Check Ribbon and some Brushed Brass Butterflies.
This was a fun card to make and the last project featuring the Flowering Fields Collection for this week’s schedule.
Tomorrow I will introdcue the new weekly focus suite with my Simple Stamping Saturday projects.
Until then, happy stamping.
