Flip up and flip out wedding cards...

 

I decided to make some colorful wedding cards using a flip up and flip out fun fold. First I looked through my stash for some coordinating papers and then went to work.

This is the first card I made. I cut the front of my A2 card base from the upper left corner down to the lower right corner to create a triangular card front. I also cut a piece for my center top-fold mini-card. I believe the dimensions for that were 2 3/4" X 8" scored at 4". After adding a piece of DSP to the inside, I adhered the mini-card, centering it as well as possible.

This is how the card looks when the mini-card is flipped up and the card front is flipped out.

I added some DSP on the inside of the triangular front because I had it handy and I thought it would look better.

This is the front of the second card. Instead of using DSP on the mini-card, I used some embossed cardstock instead. I popped up the sentiment circle and added some gems to both cards.

I had a lot of scraps of those pretty papers left over from making the two wedding cards, so I used some 3/4" strips to make this card. 

When adding the paper strips, I didn't calculate my spacing correctly and ended up with a wider white space in the center. To disguise it, I added a peach-colored piece of twine, tied in a bow. If you look closely, you'll see two tiny notches in the card front that hold the twine in place. I made those with a 1/8" hole punch.

I die-cut two dragonflies and added some gems to their bodies. I really like this particular dragonfly die. The wings are so delicate and the curved tail adds a certain flair, don't you think?

I stamped a sentiment on the inside to finish the card.

I hope you'll give the flip up and flip out funfold a try. And be sure to use up those left-over scraps on another card!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.
