Cover the left front panel of the card with diamond

paper, and the right panel with the pink words paper.

Cut a piece of stripe paper to 6.5cm x 8cm and cut

in half diagonally to make a pocket for the left front

panel. Glue along the two right-angle edges only and

stick in place aligning at the fold and lower edge.

Cut two pieces of each type of the yellow borders

used on the front of the card (see main photo above)

to 6.5cm long. Check the position of each piece be-

fore cutting the end towards the centre opening of

the card to a 45 o angle and stick in place. Cut two

blue borders measuring the gap for length, check

and cut the angles as before then stick in place.

Set five equally spaced eyelets down

the open sides of each panel. To get

them even, mark the top and bottom

ones at 16mm from the edge then mark

the middle ones all at 28mm apart.

Glue one half of a large wooden

flower and stick over the pocket as

shown (main photo above).

Open the card up and cover the in-

side panels (see left), cutting the paper

for the two side panels narrower to fit

alongside the eyelets at the open sides

as shown. Use stripe paper for the left

panel, diamond for the middle and

pink texture for the right.

TO MAKE THE CARD:

With the card opened out, trim 5mm off the open

sides of each of the smaller panels, when the card is

folded there will be a 1cm gap at the centre.

Note: When trimming the paper to fit the panels,

always cut it a little smaller to leave some card show-

ing around the edges.

Cut 5cm deep pockets for each panel using a dif-

ferent pink paper to the one already on the panel.

Add a piece of border along each top edge and glue

in place at the sides and lower edges only. Add a

wooden flower to the first pocket and one overlap-

ping the middle pocket as shown.

Decorate a selection of white tags using any of the

spare pieces of paper, borders and images, I’ve also

cut some oblongs of white card and hole punched

the tops to make contrasting shaped tags. Use

re-inforcing rings if desired then tie ribbon or fibres

through the holes and insert the tags into the pock-

ets. Stick a wooden flower

onto just one of the back

panel tags or it will all get

too bulky.

Fold the card and push

one end of the white or-

ganza ribbon through the

bottom eyelet on the left,

bring it across the back to

the bottom right eyelet and

pull through to the front.

Pull the ribbon through to

about half way, then thread

up the card in a criss cross

fashion. Tie in a bow at the

top and trim the ends.

corners of the card front. Add a large wooden flower

near the bottom right corner and the sticker greeting

near the top left as shown above.

Now for the inside, cover both small side panels

with diamond paper as before. For the left panel, cut

two 5cm x 10cm strips of white card, fold in half and

score 1cm from the folded

edge. Punch two small holes

(using the eyelet punch)

through both layers on the

small folded section. Use d/s

tape and, avoiding the holes,

stick both layers of this sec-

tion together on each piece

to make two little books.

Tie a length of Pepita ribbon through the holes and

embellish both book covers and inside pages using

any spare borders, images and papers. Attach both

books to the left hand panel in the positions shown

(below left).

For the right panel, cut a 5.5cm x 11cm piece of

pink stripe paper with the stripes going vertically and

round the bottom corners (see photo

left). With the right side of the paper

facing you fold the top left corner

down, but not across the whole width

of the piece (leave about 15mm at the

right side unfolded). Set an eyelet into

the corner of the folded piece and

secure with a sticky pad.

Cut a 36cm length of ribbon and

secure it flat (so the tag won’t catch

on it) across the back of the pocket at

about 2cm from the bottom. Bring the

ends of the ribbon to the front and tie

in a bow trimming the ends to length.

Add a border sticker across just under

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARD:

This variation is a great way to use up a lot of the

leftovers from the first project, but the resulting card

is quite different. The only extra items used are

MTR14-10 Rose, MTR19-10 Rose and XL408U-03

Birthday Stickers.

Cover the two front panels in pink daisy stripe

paper leaving an edge of card showing all around as

before. Edge the panels each side with pink daisy

borders as shown (above right).

Cut the small pink daisy panel diagonally in half

before peeling from the sticker sheet and stick each

piece onto white card then trim to leave a narrow bor-

der all around. Attach these to the top and bottom

the white flap and add the

flower as shown. Glue in

place by the side and bot-

tom edges only.

Cut a strip of white card to

11.5cm x 4cm and round all

the corners to make a tag.

Punch a hole at the top and

decorate with borders down

the sides. Add a re-inforcing

ring and tie a short length of

Pepita ribbon through then

slip it into the pocket.

Using the picture (bottom

of previous page) as a guide,

type some birthday words

or phrases of different sizes

and fonts on the computer.

The first line of words needs

to be at least 37mm from the top of the panel and

with enough of a gap in the middle to take the ‘V’ top

and flower, the block of text should be about 55mm

deep in total. Print a draft copy on plain paper first to

check before using your scrapbook paper. Cut the

printed paper to fit the panel with 37mm of paper

above the text as mentioned, don’t stick in place yet.

Choose a small tag from the sheet and decorate

with any of the stickers keeping the tag-hole to the

left. Thread a 25cm length of ribbon through the hole

then glue the tag in place on the paper. Pull the ends

of the ribbon lightly across the paper and fasten on

the back. Glue this paper panel to the inside centre

of the card.

Cut a triangular flap the same width as the printed

paper panel above, it should be about 45mm deep at

the point and 15mm deep at the sides. Add the pink

daisy borders along the

sloping edges and stick

in place on the card. If

you find it just covers or

is a little too close to the

text, trim a little off the

top edge to fit. Glue a

wooden flower over the

point as shown.

Cut a 70cm length of

ribbon and glue across the

middle of the back outside panel. Cut a panel from

pink daisy word paper and, keeping the free ends

of the ribbon out of the way, glue the paper onto

the back of the card. Turn the card face up and tie

the ribbon in a bow across the front to hold it closed.

blue diamond paper, XL638U-03 celtic spoons and

XL023U-03 Letters.

Cover the whole outside of the card with blue

diamond paper making sure it folds nicely before

the glue dries. Mark a point 4cm down from the top

on both front panels where they meet. Trim the top

diagonally off each panel from the fold to the mark.

Cut an 11cm x 3cm strip of black card, place

centrally over the closed card then mark and cut the

point so it fits perfectly in line. Glue in place over

the join to make the card into a pocket. Cut an 8mm

wide strip of diamond paper to the same length and

mark the top as before then glue in place.

Glue a 15mm wide strip of black card along the

bottom of both the front and back panels. Stick two

love spoon stickers at each side as shown, folding

them around the card so just the end hearts on each

sticker show at the back. Add the sticker lettering.

On the computer, type a variety of black thank you

messages in different sizes and type styles. So these

all fit nicely onto the paper the block of text should

be about 11.5 wide x 13.5mm deep.

Print the words out onto white paper and trim to 12

x 15cm leaving an even amount of plain paper on all

sides. Mount onto black card and cut around to leave

a 3-4mm border all around.

Cut a 6cm x 1.3cm strip of black card, fold in half

and staple to the top at an angle. Add a square of

white paper to the back of the panel for your personal

message, or type it in the middle of the thank you

panel before printing.

THANK YOU CARD:

I’ve made this gatefold card into a pocket design

with a pull-out insert. It would work just as well with a

birthday greeting and it’s a lot less ‘pink & girly’. The

extras you will need for this are black card, SR070P
