Seven days left until the end of Sale-a-bration and I thought I would showcase one last card using Hey Chick! Edited to add U Fold Tutorial.
I saw an interesting card fold in a You-Tube video, it was an SVG cut file by Lori Whitlock. I DO have a Cricut Explore but realize that not everyone does, so I decided to see if I could recreate this Center Box Card using our paper trimmer. These are the dimensions and score line measurements.
- Cardstock: 4.25 X 7.5 scored at 1.5, 2.5. 5 and 6
- Cardstock: 1 X 5.5 (I cut mine narrower X 2 because its a fence)
- Cardstock: 1 X 3.5 scored at 0.5 and 3
This card folded will fit into one of our medium sized envelopes (#107301) I believe the original die cut card to be 5X7.
I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to use this style card for, but I do have a niece that recently got engaged and planned on sending them a card. Then for some reason the idea of a Fox catching his chick was born. I love the play on words and the Foxy Friends Photopolymer Bundle (#142326) is one of my favorites! You can make so many cute animals using this punch! I’m a bit late on the bandwagon, but just this week ordered the Owl Builder Punch (#118074). It’s been around awhile and I’m not sure if it will be retired on June 1, I just had to snatch one up!
The Hey, Chick stamp set is a Sale-a-bration freebie. Spend just $50 and you get it free. Free is the only way you can get it, and there are so many adorable ideas found on Pinterest, I highly recommend you claim yours before this promotion ENDS on March 31, 2017!!!!!
I printed the wording about the Fox finally catching his chick on whisper white and used the Sprinkles of Life stamp Set (#139971) and the Tree Builder Punch (#138295) to make the clouds.
I love the cuteness factor of this card, and I hope the recipients do as well!
The best part is, it folds flat for mailing! Yippie!
That is really clever, Lisa! TFS.
