Fancy Fold Card with Autumn Goodness

The day is getting shorter and there’s definitely a nip in the air and that means Autumn is nigh!

I cannot believe how long this awful Covid-19 has halted life as we know it in her tracks! Here we are in November and having put Halloween to bed, it’s time to say “hello” to Autumn Goodness!

Card Front

This is a bridge fold card. I’ve made this type of card before, but with different measurements. You can size it up, or size it down so that it will fit in Stampin’ Up!’s standard envelops. The card folds flat so that it can be posted easily.

Back of card

This is the back of the card where you can pen a few lines to the addressee.

Right side view

I stamped it on a larger piece of Very Vanilla, coloured it with Stampin’ Blends before cutting it in half to adhere to the panels as shown above.

Left side view

This is a great technique if you want your images to appear “seamless” continuing a partial image on one side, then the rest of the image in the following panel next to it and so on.
