Fun fold card from the Unbounded Beauty Suite. This is a gussetted “M” fold card. Viewed from the top, it resembles the letter “M”. It is similar to a gatefold card when closed for mailing purposes because it does not meet in the middle like most gatefolds There are extra score lines incorporated to make it more sturdy for display purposes.
I’ve used the Flowers of Beauty which only has floral images and no sentiments. Consequently, I also used the Unbounded Love Bundle which contains numerous sentiments and dies designed to coordinate with it.
The picture on the left is the back view of the gusseted M fold card when closed for posting. The Basic White panels on both sides provide a space for addressing the recipient and also to say who it’s from. On the right, the picture shows the card open from the back.
Initially I had only adhered DSP to the two front side panels (step 2) but it looked a bit bare. The DSP I chose had an ombre effect and was rather pale. Consequently, I cut 2 extra panels of Fresh Freesia card stock ⅛” (0.3 cm) smaller and embossed it with the Layered Florals 3D embossing folder then glued it on top of the DSP (step 3). It looked so much better.
