here for you

Hey everybody, happy hump day – I hope you’re having a good week. I’m up on the Love From Lizi blog today with a tutorial for making a faux triple fold card featuring our Happy Days paper, Chrysanthemum die, Bumble Bee die, and Friends Forever stamps, all from our July release, along with an additional stamp set and gemstones from the store. I’ve made several triple folds of this variety over the past few years and got the notion a while back to start gluing down the center panel to give it the illusion of a triple fold when there are actually only two flaps. Easy peasy!

I cut the card base from CutCardStock Basis Gray cardstock along with layering panels from assorted prints in the Happy Days 6×6 Patterned Paper Pack. As noted above, I adhered the left flap flat to the card base to give the illusion of two flaps on the left side when there’s really only one. Using the Chrysanthemum Steel Cutting Die, I die cut the chrysanthemum from the Basis Gray, and the bumble bee (using the Bumble Bee Steel Cutting Die) from CutCardStock Basis Black and Basis Gold cardstock with vellum wings which I popped up on a thin foam square.

I cut the main flower die cut in two pieces so it would lay flat on the flap. Then I ended up cutting another flower die cut (just the right side) and adhering it to the right flap so the flower appears to be whole when the card is closed. I added half-circles of Velcro to keep the card closed. I stamped a sentiment from the We Are stamp set in Versafine Onyx Black ink and added a few pink gemstones from the Tropical Escapes Mix Size Gems.

I cut the inside panel from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with a strip cut from the patterned paper used on the center flap on the front. I stamped a sentiment from the Friends Forever stamps in black ink. For more details instructions, be sure to see my tutorial on the Love From Lizi blog!
