Welcome to this month’s Ink, Stamp, Share Monthly Showcase Blog Hop
For my Showcase project this month I have been inspired by a fellow demo Pip Todman who shared a tutorial on how to make a book fold card. I decided to use the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper which is a Hostess product when you order £150 of product. I do tend to miss these products in each catalogue.
How I made my Book Fold Card
I started by cutting a 14cm x 28cm piece of Poppy Parade card stock and a 14cm x 28cm piece of designer series paper. I then scored the card in half to make a 14cm x 14cm card base. Next I scored the designer series paper to make the inside.
I then wrapped a length of White Crinkled seam binding around the card leaving enough to tie a bow. Next I cut a piece of the same designer series paper for the front cover and stuck it to the card front over the White Crinkled Seam Binding. I then cut another piece the same size of Basic White card stock for the back cover.
How I made the front cover of the autumnal happy birthday book fold card
To finish off the front cover I die cut a smaller square using the Stylist Shapes dies and Poppy Parade card stock. Next I cut a piece of Basic White card stock slightly smaller. I then stamped the sentiment from the Very Best Occasions stamp set and Black Memento ink. I then decided to use the square die from the Stitched with Whimsy to add a border to the square. This was then stuck onto the {Poppy Parade square before adding to the front cover.
How I finished off the inside of the autumnal happy birthday book fold card
I decided that I would add a pocket to take a gift card to the inside of the book fold card. To do this I cut a mat layer from Granny Apple Green card stock. Next I cut a smaller mat layer using of Basic White card stock and a slightly smaller mat layer using a piece of matching designer series paper. I used the Best Label Punch to punch a notch to pull the gift card out of the pocket. I had to remember to only glue the sides and the bottom so I could slide in the gift card in the top.
Next I cut a matching mat layer in Granny Apple Green card stock and Basic White card stock. I then used the Happy Birthday stamp from the Go To Greetings stamp set using Black memento ink. These I then stuck onto the right hand side panel.
