Rustic Crate Fall Fun Fold card – Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Fall Fun Folds Blog Hop. I recently watch a Youtube video posted by Australian demonstrator, Alisa Tilsner showcasing a pop out window card http://(https://www.youtube.com/live/_uQZ9AN1wTM)which she had designed. I absolutely loved the card and decided to rework it for a standard sized card using A4 cardstock.

Colours in this card are:

 

 

To recreate the Fall goodies card, you will need:

Pretty Peacock card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”

Perennial Lavender dsp – 5½” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 7⅝” by 5½” – scored at 3¾”
Unbounded Beauty dsp – 5¼” by 3½”

I selected 2 Deckled Circle Dies and using the larger die I die cut a circle through all 3 layers. I needed to run it backwards and forwards 2 to cut through all the layers.

I glued the piece of Unbounded Beauty dsp to the front of the inner Basic White card and adhered the back of the card to the inside of the Pretty Peacock card base taking care to stay away from the central fold.

Using Early Espresso ink, I stamped the Autumnal arrangement and the sentiment onto the die cut white circle. I used Washi tape from my stash to mask the words for the sentiment as I wanted then stacked rather than inline.

I folded and burnished the scorelines on the 5” by 1“– the 2 centre scorelines were folded back, the next 2 folded forwards and the last 2 folded back.

The card front was closed, and a little Liquid Adhesive added to the innermost tabs of the folded strip which was then placed in the centre of the die cut hole. I held it in place for a minute or so to make sure it would not move. Adhesive was then added to the raised centre of the strip and the decorated circle added, making sure to leave an equal border all the way around.
