Double the Fun Sailboat Card

I did a screenshot of this lovely card, and then I couldn't remember how it was made! Well, I finally remembered!! It was what I called a "Double the Fun" card - a combination of a Book Binder card and a "Z" Fold. It's actually a quick and easy card, that is just gorgeous!

Measurements:

Thick Basic White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 3 1/4" x 4 1/4", scrap
Thoughtful Journey DSP (OE): 1 6"x6" sheet desired scenic print

To Make This Card:

Fold Thick Basic White card base in half. Score front at 2 1/8" - 4 1/4". Crease well, creating a "book binding" fold and a "Z" fold.
Place Tear n Tape on the 1 1/4" area, near crease. Press together creating a Book Binding Fun Fold.
Take your 6" x 6" pc of "scenic print" and trim so it measures 5 3/8" wide, choosing the best scenery, and removing what you can do without, so it measure 5 3/8" x 6"!
Next, we'll cut across the piece. The first cut is @ 1". (This goes on the "book binding" piece).
Then, cut an arch from the next part of the DSP, using the arch that will fit from top to bottom.
Lastly, straighten the edge from the arch cut for the last piece.
Adhere the first piece to the "book binding".
Stamp the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the arched piece. Then, adhere arch to other White layer.
Next, adhere last DSP strip to inside of card. You may want to trim this a little narrower.
Place Tear n Tape on the "Z" part of the card, along the fold, and along the cut edge.
Center the piece with the arch in place, with even amounts of DSP showing at either end. Press into place.
Die cut a "sailboat" from a white scrap. Adhere to the front of the arch.
Finish by stamping sentiment on the inside.
Finish outside with Wink of Stella in the "water", and scattered Brass Birds.
