Fun Center Flip Card

A fun center flip card. This is such an elegant design - inspired by a Sue Campfield post on pinterest. 

I will provide measurements for the center flip card below. I used the Forever Fern stamp set for these cards. 

We made these at my last card class workshop. 

Center Flip Card instructions: 

• Card base White CS at 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Patterned paper two strips approximately 1.5" x 5 1/2". 
• Center Flip White CS 11" x 2 15/16".
• Embossed piece for front of center flip White CS 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" embossed with folder of choice
• Miscellaneous die cuts to apply to front of center flip. 

To make the card adhere the two strips of patterned paper to outside edges of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of white CS. Fold the 11" x 2 15/16" piece in half at the 5 1/2" mark and this will become the center flip. Adhere the backside of the center flip to the card base, the edges overlapping the patterned paper slightly. Then add embossed 2 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece to font of center flip and any other die cuts and sentiments. I used images and die cuts from Forever Fern bundle for the foliage, and the Stitched Nested Labels dies. Sentiments are from Unbounded Love stamp set. 

 

Star Quilt Card

We made this star quilt card at my last card workshop. It's a fun quilt technique, and a great way to use up paper scraps! 

Measurements:

• Card base:  8 1/2 x 5 1/2
• Background panel: 4 x 5 1/4 embossed with dotted circles
• Square background mat: 3 1/4 x 3 1/4
• Square base for quilt pattern: 3 x 3
• Quilt strips: 3/4 x 6 (four) pieces of patterned paper
• Quilt corners: 3/4 x 3/4 (four) white squares
• Center background banner: 1 3/4 x 6 

For the assembly of the star quilt, layer two pieces of pattern paper diagonal to corners, letting ends overlap your white square. Now only glue the ends on one corner because you will need to weave your paper through on the next set. Layer two strips opposite corners and weave through strips already placed down. Once you have all strips lined up corner to corner and weaved through, you can glue all ends down. Turn piece over and cut off overhanging ends. Then glue the 3/4 x 3/4 white squares in each corner to create the star. You may add circles or gems to the center piece. 

The Have a blessed day sentiment is from Unbounded Love stamp set.
