Under My Umbrella Book Fold

Finally got my taxes organized and ready to go, so time for some stampin' fun! They say April showers bring May flowers.  This set is a really nice one, with a coordinating punch, that will be retiring soon. The fold is an oldie, but goodie, but is making it's way back!! It's called a Book Fold. The cardstock is cut lengthwise. It's scored 1 1/4" from the fold and is attached together.  Just the front square opens.



Measurements:  

  • Bumblebee: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Old Olive: 4" square, 1" x 4" strip
  • Basic White:3" square
  • Mint Macaron: 3 1/4" square
  • Ornate Garden DSP: scraps
To Make This Card:

  • Fold Bumblebee card base in half.  Score at 1 1/4" from fold, front side only.  Crease the front back well. Place adhesive under this 1 1/4" and glue front and back together.
  • Run both Old Olive pieces through TastefulTextures EF.  Attach to card.
  • Cut scallop square from Mint Macaron.  Cut smooth square from Basic White. Glue together.
  • Stamp "umbrella" and "boots" onto DSP.  Punch out "umbrella" and fussy cut "boots".  
  • Lay "umbrella" onto layered squares. Mark where umbrella "handle" needs to go.  Stamp "handle" in black.  Now attach "umbrella" and "boots" to squares with Dimensionals.
  • Stamp sentiment in black.  Attach layered squares to card front with Dimensionals.
  • Make a "notch" at either end of 1 1/4" area.  Slip ribbon into notches, wrap around card, and tie in a bow.
  • Finish by scattering some yellow sequins.
