WOW- check it out! This is a fun fold card that I made earlier this month, for a swap that I did with some of my demonstrator friends from different states. Just look at the awesome stitching around the butterfly. I did that by using the NEW Stitched Whimsy Dies on page 72 in the Spring Mini Catalog. The butterfly & words are from the 'A Touch of Ink' stamp set that is a Sale-a-bration choice that you can get for FREE with a $100 product order. And the polk-a-dot DSP is from the Flower & Field Designer Paper that is also a Sale-a-bration choice that you can get for FREE with a $50 product order. The card fold is a traditional center gate fold. BUT the butterfly piece is made to slide on & off! This is what it looks like when I'm sliding the center piece off. This is kind of like a belly band, but it is easier & just really cool! It is really just a "latch", to hold the card center together. This is what it looks like when the card is opened up! AND then- Check out how I made the center latch part! Here are photos of the pieces I made as 'patterns' for you to see how I made it. You will need- 4 pieces of card stock that all measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2". 2 of those pieces will be scored down the center at 1 3/4" & then folded in half. With the other 2 pieces- one will be the back & one will be the front. You will sandwich the center 2 folded pieces between the front piece & the back piece. The folded edges of the 2 center pieces will butt up to each other in the center. I hope with this side view photo of the latch piece you can see how I assembled it. Here is how you use all 4 pieces of card stock that measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2" each. Front- 1 black piece Center- 2 white pieces- that are folded in half & the folds meet in the center of the 'sandwich'. Back-- 1 black piece BE SURE YOU stick it together securely with glue or seal plus, so that it doesn't pull apart. I just love black & yellow butterflies- they are my favorite! I added the Wink of Stella over the butterfly, although I don't think you can tell that by looking at the photos. But in person it sure adds that extra sparkle!
