My friend Mary Anne sent us a beautiful card for Easter, and I couldn't wait to try and make one, too! Here's my first attempt, using papers from my stash. I think the floral one is Webster's Pages......
supplies: white cardstock, 3 patterned papers, sentiment from Simon Says Stamp Tiny Words Faith
This kind of fancy fold card is not my usual, but I did enjoy trying to duplicate Mary Anne's card. I used 3 different patterned papers. The finished card measures 3" X 5 1/2", so it looks kind of like a slim-line, except that when it folds down for mailing, you'll still need an A2 envelope. Here's 1 more picture, to show you the 3rd pattern paper, just a blue dot.
I'm so glad I have this tiny sentiment stamp from Simon Says Stamp - there were several options I could have used.
If you search "pop-up cross cards", you'll find lots of examples and I'm sure some directions for how to make a card similar to this. I saw some lovely ideas when I searched!
The Simon Wednesday Challenge is asking for cards using patterned paper, so I'll be entering this card there.
Happy Easter!
