Sunrise Sailing Pyramid Card

Here's a card I saw on Rachel Tessman's blog. It's a "pyramid" card, and I think you will understand the name as soon as you see it:

It's an interesting fold. Three layers of "boxes" join to create the base, and it folds down to a flat card for mailing.

I wanted to use the Sunrise Sailing sailboat and chose the Country Woods designer paper for the background.

Here you can see the three boxes; the largest on the bottom starts with a piece of cardstock measuring 5-1/2" x 9". The next measures 5-1/2" x 6", and the skinny one on top is 3" x 5-1/2".

A 5-3/8" x 5-3/8" square of designer paper is cut into 3/8" and 5/8" wide strips, alternating as you cut.

For the top piece I cut Basic White cardstock with the Textured Notes dies, sponged it with Balmy Blue ink and add the boat and clouds and birds (cut with the Sunrise Sailing Hybrid Embossing Folder).

I think I'll choose a smaller panel for the top next time, as this one obscures some of the beautiful DSP. But I still like it, and think it would make a great masculine card.

Sunrise Sailing can be ordered through the OnLine Exclusives page. I hope this will be around for awhile - it's the perfect summer bundle!
