FB live October 26 2021 Self closing card

Hello everyone and welcome to my bog if this is your visit ... welcome and thankyou for popping by!

On my Facebook live tonight I was challenged to make a card that was new to me. I found this lovely self closing card on Youtube made by Birgit Seidler (Stempelbunt) in Germany. I changed the measurements to imperial to fit into our North American envelopes and to use our 8 1/2 x 11" cardstock. 

Below I have added all of the measurements and photos . 

Main card base 8 1/2 x 11"

On the short side score the left hand side at 2", and the right hand side at 2 1/4"

On the long side score the left hand side at 3 1/2" and the right hand side at 2"

Cut out each corner piece and you will end up with a t shape piece of card. Fold and burnish all edges.  Corner round each corner. 

Cut DSP for both inside and outside as shown - check orientation of pattern if needed. 

DSP Pattern #1 cut pieces for flaps 1, 2, 3 and 4 and attach inside.  Cut a piece of Basic White 4 x 5 1/4" for center of card. I also added a small strip of left over DSP onto the white card. 

Cut a second piece of Flap 1 and 3 using the DSP pattern #1 to use on the front of the card. 

DSP Pattern #2 cut piece for flap 2 and 4 on the front of the card. 

I used the words of cheer stamps and dies for the sentiment. 

Hope that you have a try at the card and have fun with it. 

Happy crafting
