Fun-Fold Country Flowers

 Here's a fun fun-fold card!  It was the second floral card we made at my monthly Card Club with a From the Garden theme:


We started with a piece of cardstock that coordinated with the patterned paper (Country Woods - everyone had a different piece so the cards were all different).  The cardstock measured 4-1/4" x 5-1/2", and we added a strip of the same colored cardstock, measuring 1-1/2" x 5 and scored at 2".  We attached the 2" side to the cardstock base, lining up the fold on the edge.  Then we adhered a piece of the Country Woods paper, cut to 4" x 5-1/4", hiding the bottom of the "hinge".

Our image was stamped, colored with Stampin' Blends and cut with the Country Flowers dies.  Using Dimensionals, this was added to the top piece - a 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" piece of cardstock with a 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" piece of the same patterned paper.  

The top piece was adhered to the hinge, centered on the card.


Then we opened the card and covered the longer piece of the hinge with another piece of 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" patterned paper. 

All that was left was to add the Basic White layer inside - it's the same size as the two smaller patterned paper pieces (3-1/4" x 4-1/2") and centered on the inside, so when the card is closed it is not visible under the top piece.

A pretty easy fun-fold and everyone had fun making it, saying "I can do this at home!".  I love inspiring them to continue stamping at home!  ðŸ˜Š
