Country Wreaths for a Back-Fold Card

 Here's a very simple fun-fold card - a Back-fold Card:


From the front this looks like an ordinary side-opening card.  But see that skinny strip on the right?  It's actually scored  to fold backwards, lifting the panel on the front (with the wreath) to open the card.  

Start with a piece of 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" cardstock, and score it at 3-1/4" and 6-1/2".  The left side of the card closes as usual, but is a little thinner than normal - it folds up to the 6-1/2" score line.  Then the 1" on the end is what folds backwards.


See?  Now picture a piece of Basic White cardstock on the right side, under the flap - you see that right?  😁

That is where you would write your greeting and sign your card.  

Back to the front:


We used Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper to decorate the front of the card, layered on Night of Navy.  The card base is Boho Blue.

And then that wreath - two layers of die-cut wreaths using the Country Wreaths dies.  Very easy to layer!  The bow is another die in the set and adds the wow factor in Petal Pink!  


So pretty!  

Don't forget about some of our older dies and stamp sets!  Country Wreaths have been around for a while, but are fresh and new in new colors!  And of course, they are perfect for the upcoming holiday season.
