We initially dragged out the Colour Coach for some colour ideas - she didn't want them too feminine because it was for both male and female. We also did a search on the internet and came up with this.
The card is made using Elegant Eggplant, Pear Pizazz and Peach Parfait. Cut a piece of Elegant Eggplant card stock in half along the short side (at 10.5cm of the 21cm side). Score in the middle. This piece will form the base of your card.
Cut another piece of Elegant Eggplant card stock 24cm x 8.5cm and score at 12cm. This will form your front panel.
Cut a piece of Pear Pizazz, 11cm x 7.5cm and a piece of Peach Parfait 10.5cm x 7cm. We ran the Peach Parfait through the Big Shot using the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing folder. Apply both these pieces to one side of the 8.5cm x 12cm Elegant Eggplant piece (your front panel) - your fold should be on the right for your front panel. We added Jumbo Eyelets in the middle and threaded some 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon across the front (use your Crop-a-dile to punch out the hole and set the eyelet).
You can then line up your front panel so that the fold is along the right hand side of your card. Boy, this is where it gets confusing!! You should have your base card open and your folds should be on opposite sides here (your base card fold on the left and your front panel fold on the right!! Stick the back of your front panel onto the right hand side of your base card.
Cut another piece of Peach Parfait approximately 12cm x 9cm and punch using the Scallop border punch along one of the long sides. Apply this piece to the back of your front panel so that your scallop border is poking out from behind when you are looking at the front pane. If you look at the back of this piece, it just looks like you have mounted this onto youre piece of Elegant Eggplant. This will also cover the holes from your eyelets.
We then cut another piece of Peach Parfait and Pear Pizazz (14cm x 9.5cm) and stuck one on each side of the card base (The Pear Pizazz piece should now be covering the piece of your front panel that you previously stuck to your base card).
We also clear embossed the front of the base card using Clear Embossing powder and the flourish from the Wedding Sweet stamp set.
So, now you should have a normal sized card with a front panel that folds over the front of your card front.
I hope these instructions make sense. (I certainly got confused typing it). If they don't and you would like to make this card, please give me a call to take you through the steps.
Thanks for looking and I hope you like what you see.
