For this project, I knew I wanted to pair some yummy Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock from Kraft Outlet with some Jillibean soup spring-themed patterned paper, but I also wanted to do a little something different with the card base... to capture the "fling" side of our challenge.
The cardbase is a twist on a bi-fold style-card that I found in the November 2009 CardMaker Magazine.
Just in case you don't have that copy of the magazine on hand, I'll give you the instructions to create this card base.
Cut an 8 x 4-inch piece of Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock; with long side horizontal, score a vertical line 2 3/4 inches from left end. Fold flap to the right.
Fold a 3 x 8-inch piece of patterned paper in half, forming a 3 x 4-inch top-folded card. Slide card over right end of Kraft card base. Adhere backs together.
After finishing the entire card, the patterned paper top-folded card attached to the Kraft card base opens as shown below.
To create the inside sentiment to this card, I layered Lunch Bag Kraft Cardstock that I die cut and stamped under die cut patterned paper and a Brown Kraft Label that I stamped as well. I also stamped pale pink polka dots on the front of the card and attached a die cut flower.
When the card is opened fully, it looks like this...
Thank you for stopping by today and don't forget to hop back in tomorrow for over at The Kraft Journal for our "Feature Me Friday" post when we showcase designs created by you!
