Fun Fold card with Natures prints bundle

Here’s a fun fold card with Natures Prints bundle. Say “hello” to the Sun Prints Suite Collection on pages 90-91 of the new 2022-23 Annual Catalogue. If blue is your favourite colour then you’ll love this Suite.

The Sun Prints 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper has a colour palette of four colours only. They are Pacific Point, Night of Navy, Starry Sky (new 2022-24 In Color) and Gray Granite. Images in the Nature’s Prints stamp set is mostly foliage and a splatter ink spot. There are four general sentiments in a mixture of script and typeface – I just love those, don’t you? Included in the Natural Prints Dies are not only dies which correspond with the stamped images but extras like a wreath, a trio of sprigs, a pair of leafy sprigs as well as a label die.

I had so many ideas buzzing in my head, I’ve split this into 2 Parts. Today is Part 1, and Part 2 follows hot on its heels this Friday.

Do you love fancy folds? This is another take on a Gatefold card – it’s a bit of a mouthful but it does describe it perfectly. It’s “Elaine speak” – an Angled Overlapping Gatefold card. I don’t know what the official terminology is!

Card details

My skills in drawing diagrams is rather limited, and I couldn’t “merge” the cells so that the lines didn’t show. So please ignore the small dotted lines – they’re supposed to be invisible and shows the original size the the paper.
