Hello, and thank you for stopping by our monthly blog hop.  This month's theme is a fun fold card, which are always exciting. 

I am featuring the suite collection called Take To The Sky.  This is a great suite for masculine cards. 

#taketothesky #stampwithlisabrown

I used Misty Moonlight as my card base and two different patterns from the Take To The Sky Design Series Paper.

  • Misty Moonlight card stock 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4 to form card base
  • Another piece of Misty Moonlight CS cut to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
  • Two different DSP patterns cut 4-1/4 x 5-1/2
  • Using the Scattered Rectangle Dies, lay the Misty Moonlight 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 on top of card front and die cut.  Die cut both pieces at same time so they align
  • Die cut both DSP pieces with the same rectangle die (save the one cut out to mount inside your card
  • Card base:  the front panel that has the rectangle die cut, score that in half at 2-1/8 then fold back creating a flap. 
  • Adhere the Misty Moonlight frame but only to the half folded back flap

When adhering the inside DSP frame, cut in half at 2-1/8" so that the card still folds easily.

I die cut two sets of clouds and used Small Blending Brushes to add some Misty Moonlight ink.  Add clouds to the inside and outside of the card. 

  • Stamp words on a 1/2 piece of basic white, and give the strip a curl in both directs to add a wave
  • Inside Basic White CS is 2-1/4 x 3-1/2
  • I aligned the airplane to cover majority of the inside stamps words.
