The closed card measures 4.25" x 4.25".
The second commission I accepted was for a first monthsary. My friend and former colleague wanted to give her girlfriend something 'unique' and thought of a card (made by me. Hehe.).
The girlfriend's favorite colors are black, white and gold. And so the papers and embellishments I used were of these colors.
Since what was wanted was a unique card, I thought of doing something different. A special fold card was the very thing for this project. I looked through different folding techniques online (most of them I have already tried) and came upon this card called Napkin Fold. At first I did not know what it was called and I badly wanted to know what it was so I could look for a tutorial on how to do the folds. I found out the name after a couple of searches. You can check out the tutorial of Carol Hurlock of Splitcoaststampers here.
I used an 8.5" x 8.5" base instead of the 12" x 12" in the tutorial. Aside from not having a 12" x 12" card stock on hand, the closed card would be so big using the original measurements.
I placed a die cut at the center and adhered a white card stock stamped with flourishes from the Bo Bunny Clear Stamp Botanical Odyssey set. I then added some small pearls. This would be where the message will be written.
I made a matching box to go with it. I decorated the lid with one of the papers I used on several panels inside the card, a length of black baker's twine and a stamped tag.
