A double-flap Father's Day card...

 

I have this wonderfully large "Happy Father's Day" die. It's big enough to be the focal point of any card. I decided to use it on a double flap card. 

I started with a cardbase from a 4 1/4" X 9 3/4" piece of blue cardstock, scored at 5 1/2". I turned the cardbase 90 degrees so that the fold was on the left and the shorter side was the front. Then I cut another cardbase from a 3 1/4" X 9" piece of dark blue cardstock, scored at 4 1/2". 

After adding a white embossed mat to the inside of the larger cardbase, I glued the back of the smaller card to the center of the mat. I made sure the fold of the smaller card was on the right so that I could put the front of the larger card inside the smaller card.

This is how the card looks when you open the smaller flap to the right.

You could put a sentiment here, but I chose not to.

I added a white mat, stamped with a sentiment, to the inside of the dark blue card.

I tried to keep this card CAS, but with strong colors. That's what men like, isn't it?

I really enjoy making these double-flap cards. They're quick and easy--but they look a little complicated.

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