Dual Aperture Tri-Fold Up-Cycle

This is the Christmas reveal card for my "secret sister".  It's a dual aperture tri-fold card & it's a fun card to make.  

Card Base: Start with a piece of card stock that is 7" x 12" - score at 4" & 8" - fold & crease on score lines to create a 7" tall tri-fold.  I used a glittered card stock, placing the glitter on the outside of the card.

Background: The background was cut a bit smaller than the card front out of green suede paper (HOTP).  

Focal: A piece of coppery gold card stock was cut for the frame on the inside of the card and the piece from the inside of that frame serves as mat for the focal.  The focal itself is in two pieces.  A die cut sentiment (Spellbinder's D-lites "Happy Holidays") & die cut ornament (Paper Artist die from "3 Lacy Christmas Ornaments").  The sentiment is matted on the gold glitter card stock  (same as card base).  The ornament is also matted on the gold glitter card stock, but also matted on the green suede paper.  It is placed so it partially covers the opening (die cut from matting die that matches the ornament die used for the inside) that lets you peek through to the middle layer of this card:

The aperture on the card front lets you peek through to the fancy ornament toward the bottom of this card.  It was cut using a Paper Artist die from the "9 Tiny Christmas Things & Shadows" die set. This time the background is red suede paper, and an aperture is cut near the top (using a die from Spellbinders "2010 Heirloom Ornament" die set), so you can peek through to the inside:

The focal is cut from a card I received.  I thought it worked GREAT for a secret sister card.  The frame was cut to size on the outside with corners rounded before cutting the inside with a Spellbinder's die from the "Captivating Squares" set.
