Fun Folds: Card No. 5

An upside down "Z" card today, using my Orchid Expressions stamp and die set from Papertrey Ink. My cardstock size measures 11" x 4 1/4", scored along the long side at 5 1/2" and 8 1/4" fold as in photo.




The patterned paper sizes are :

5 1/4" x 4 1/8" for the back
2 5/8" x 4 1/8" for the bottom

The flap inside measures:

9" x 2 3/4" ( you can make this wider, I just did it to fit my stamped image) score at 4 1/2"
Mat of white card on front 4 1/4" x 2 5/8"
I stamped my sentiment before I attached it to back.
Stamp a circle sentiment and punch or die cut with circle dies. You could use some patterned paper or a flower to make this stopper. It doesn't have to be a certain size, you just need to remember to only add foam pads to the bottom of the circle.



When you ready to stick together only attach flap part on the back, the front opens up to reveal message. Make sure the foam pad part of the stopper just touches the bottom of the opening flap, then as the card stands it will still hold it in place. Again make sure you burnish score lines well , as this will help it stand up better.
