It's the beginning of another month, so it's time for another Scor-Pal More than One Score project! Since Easter is quickly approaching, I decided to make an Easter card.
It is similar to a bridge fold, but it has a large image instead of a strip to hold the two sides together. Here is the inside, along with a matching envelope.
Starting with the 5 1/2" x 5 3/4" piece of cardstock, with the 5 3/4" side at the top, score at 4 1/4" and 5". Rotate the cardstock 180 degrees and repeat the score lines. Since there are both Mountain and Valley folds, turn the cardstock over, and repeat all 4 score lines. This makes it easier to make the folds. From one edge, make a mountain fold, then a valley fold. Repeat on the other side. If you want to decorate this piece, now is the time to do it.
Stamp a large image, colour it and cut it out. Place the two strips of cardstock so that the edges are 4 1/4" apart. I taped the strips to my Scor-Buddy Mini Mat which made it easy to tape the lilies to the strips. Make sure that the tape doesn't go over the edges of the strips, or it will stick to the back of the card. If you want your card to fit in a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" envelope, make sure that the image fits between the edges of the strips. Then, tape the two strips to the sides of the scored piece.
With the 11" side at the top, score the other large piece of cardstock at 5 1/2", and fold.
Tape this piece to the back of the other piece.
The card will fold flat, so you can fit it in an envelope.
Since my lilies extend past the edges of the card, I had to make my own envelope. I used the Scor-Envi to help me make a 5 1/2" square envelope, which was the perfect size. I stamped the lily stamp on the flap of the envelope, so it matched the card.
What a gorgeous card! You've really out done yourself
