Have you heard of the Double-Point Card? It's a card with two "points" that open to reveal the inside of the card. Take a look:
This was a Card Club card this month. It uses On the Ocean stamps and dies, along with some retired DSP.
The card base is just a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of cardstock (Blueberry Bushel here). There is a layer of DSP (4" x 5-1/4") on top. And then the fun...
The top layer is adhered to the two "points" that cover the top and bottom of the card, and fold up and down to reveal the inside.
The card was also a technique card - the clouds were made by using a Blending Brush over a template made with the Basic Borders dies and Balmy Blue ink. The sky fades to "ocean" also blended with the brushes. And then there are the waves.
Two dies create the waves - one makes the bottom, solid layer, and the other cuts the details to layer on top. I love the look.
Fully opened, the points are completely opened and the inside of the card is seen.
You can create the points by cutting a piece of cardstock 4" x 3" (you need two pieces for the top and bottom). Score along the long side at 1". Then find the center and fold the the short sides to the center below the 1" score line, creating the point. Glue the side pieces down, then adhere the 1" side to the DSP prior to adding it to the card base.
The points can also be made from coordinating DSP, giving your main panel a "frame".
A fun fun-fold!
