3-D Papier Tole Foil Die-Cuts


The focal for today's card is one of the designs on Birds and Blossoms 3-D Papier Tole from Hot Off The Press. The card itself is a gate-fold card turned on its side - made from white cardstock. Here's what I did to make it:
  1. Take a square of purple cardstock and score at 1/4" intervals on the diagonal.
  2. Cut off two of the corners as shown, and glue the top half to the top flap of the card.
  3. Add silver border with peel-offs (the bottom border is attached to the bottoms flap, but the bottom of the purple is NOT).
  4. Add the papier tole design with small pieces of foam tape between each section for dimension.
  5. Add outline sticker sentiment
  6. Open top flap and add a purple strip between the silver frame and add the bird that comes as extra art on the papier tole sheet.
  7. Open the bottom flap and add a purple strip with a flower on either end (once again from extra art on the papier tole sheet).
Here are pictures of the card with the top flap open, and then of the card with the bottom flap open.  As you can see, there is plenty of room for a special message on the inside.

Cheryl I like the fold that you used for this card. It is really neat.
