Craftyhazelnut’s Patterned Paper Challenge...September 2018

On a recent blog hop I saw an idea for using a triangular die to make a “lip” for your card to fold into.

I didn’t have that exact die but thought I could use one I did.

I started with a white linen base card cut 4-1/2” x 11”.

On a short end I applied one of Concord & Ninth’s “Select-A-Size Edge” die and taped it on.

SInce it covered the whole edge and I didn’t want to cut the whole edge I pulled out my Tim Holtz “Embossing Diffusers”.

I chose the oval one and laid the card over that to die cut.

That is how it turned out.

Next I folded the card so it slipped into the lip and trimmed it down to measure 5-1/2” x 4-1/4”.

Using a small corner rounder I rounded two corners.

Now to the decorations...The front piece of kraft embossed card stock is from a DCWV stack called “Kraft With Foil”.

I flipped the excess I trimmed from that piece and using two of the Concord & Ninth dies I cut out a border.

Using more of the excess I flipped it and cut a rectangle with MFT Die-namics “Pierced Rectangle STAX” and applied it to the front of the card.

To finish I used another piece of white linen card stock to die cut MFT Die-namics “Hello” and glued it to the front.
