I saw this card online and decided to try it, adding my own touches, of course! Too much fun, the "shirt" pulls up out of the "pocket/suit jacket"! Really neat! Need to come up with another design! Any suggestions?
Measurements:
- Basic Gray: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3 1/2" x 5" (lapels), scraps
- Basic White: 3 1/2" x 10 3/4" (LENGTHWISE), scraps
- Blushing Bride: scrap
- Well Suited DSP (N): 4" x 5 3/8" (pinstripe), 1" x 4 1/2" (stripe for tie)
To Make This Card:
- Fold Basic Gray card base in half. Attach "pinstripe" DSP to one half of card with cut edges even. Do NOT put any adhesive in the center, just around the edges.
- Cut "V" from Front of card, with "V" pointing to the card fold. Set center scraps aside for later use.
- Use 1/8" Tear & Tape to create pocket from Basic Gray card base. Place tape along long edges.
- Cut "lapels", "buttons", and "pocket flap" in Basic Gray. Cut "collar" in Basic White, and cut "tie" & "knot" from DSP stripe. "Ascot" will be cut, later from scraps.
- Attach "lapel" to front of card. Either flat, or with Dimensionals. Add 2 "buttons" as shown.
- Slip Folded White card into pocket. Attach scrap of Blushing Bride to "triangle" at neck of collar. Attach to card, either flat or with Dimensionals.
- Pull up White card, and add "tie" and "knot" - I DO add a Dimensional to the "knot. Tuck card back into "pocket".
- If you want the stripes of your pocket to line up with the stripes in the jacket, lay scrap of "pinstripe" to suit coat where the "pocket" will be. Place pocket die into position and mark placement with pencil. Cut out pocket. Adhere to coat front. Add solid gray pocket flap. For "ascot" cut a triangle scrap of coordinating DSP.
