Where have I been? I totally missed this Fun Fold when it was "making the rounds". It's called a Floating Tent Card or a Swinging Tent Fold. Anyway, I now know how to make it and it's really fun and easy! I saw this card, and directions by Mary Deatherage! We'll be making this one at Club on Saturday!!
Measurements:
- Pecan Pie: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE, 4" x 4 1/4" (accordion fold), 1 1/2" x 2" (mechanism)
- Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4" (back), 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" (approx), scraps (stamped fruits)
- Homemade Sweetness DSP (N)(OE): 4" x 5 1/4" (blue gingham), various die cuts from DSP
To Make This Card:
- Adhere Blue Gingham piece to folded Pecan Pie base. I used Multipurpose Glue so that the piece was adhered all over.
- Next, die cut center of front from 3rd largest Branching Out Die. Set this aside.
- While the base is still pretty flat, create back layer, by stamping sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink, and "strawberry" & "blueberries" in Memento Black ink, and color them in with Blends.
- Then, add this to the back side of card.
- Note: If desired, at this time you could also add a piece of DSP to the inside of your card. You don't see a whole lot of this, so I chose not to do this.
- For the accordion "stand", score along the 4" side at 1/2" - 1 1/4" - 2" - 2 3/4" - 3 1/2".
- Fold this piece in half, and then accordion fold, creasing well.
- Next, adhere this to the inside of the card base, with the 1/2" section attached to the front and back, with the score line/crease even with the cut edge of the card base.
- Now, to decorate the insert!
- Fussy cut 2 "jars" of your choice, and one "honey bear"! This is a great time to use only a "partial" bear, as you won't see the entire thing!
- Making sure your print matches up, start with the "honey bear" and then add the other 2 "jars" of your choice.
- Stamp the sentiment in Blueberry Bushel ink and die cut with one of the neat tags. Add to piece with Dimensionals.
- You might want to add any embellishments at this time, while it is still flat. I used the Strawberry Slush "dots" from the Strawberry & Dots. Set insert aside.
- Next, stamp 2 "strawberries" and one set of "blueberries" onto scraps of White. Color with Blends and cut out with corresponding dies.
- Score the swing "mechanism" @ 3/4". The width of the mechanism may change based on the die that you used for the "window", but they are all 1 1/2" wide.
- Now, adhere one side of the "mechanism" to the top of the insert. I used Tear & Tape.
- Place adhesive on the other side, place insert into the opening, and adhere to the inside.
- To finish the front, add 2 "strawberries" to either side of opening, as well as one of the "blueberries", and Misty Moonlight Checkered bow.
- Finish the back with a few more "dots".
