Welcome to the Cardz 4 Guyz #377 challenge! Dawn., our host for this challenge, chose Boats for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!

Here’s my card:

My first card using this fold was for a Halloween card using the Spooky Sweet 12 x 12 inch DSP (designer series paper). Make sure to add it to your wish list because it is just too stinking cute to pass up! You can see that card here, in all it’s googly-eyes adorableness!

I saw the tutorial reel on FaceBook posted by the West Coast Papercrafter. You can see her video here.

Measurements:

The following template is with measurements given in the West Coast Papercrafter’s video. I wanted thinner borders for this card, but it would totally work with her original measurements, so I am including those.

• I didn’t use DSP for this card. Instead, I embossed two pieces of 4-1/4 by 5-1/2 inch white cardstock using the sunrise Sailling embossing folders
• I trimmed one piece for the outside to 4-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the outside
• I used the second embossed cardstock for the inside
  • I trimmed two pieces of the “waves” for the two pop-up shelf pieces
  • Then I trimmed the remaining for the top part of the inside
  • Since I didn’t want the embossed sailboat be a main focus, I used a bone folder to smooth down the boat as much as possible before covering it with cropped clouds

Stamping, Dry Embossing, & Cropping:

• I stamped two of the sailboats on white cardstock using Tuxedo Black ink, then stamped the sail parts using Azure Afternoon ink
• Stamp the ahoy sentiment using Tuxedo Black ink
• On the inside part of the pop-up card, stamp the waves using Azure Afternoon ink and the sentiment in black ink
• Color the hull part of the boats using the Gray Granite blends combo
• Crop the two sailboats and clouds using the Sunrise Sailing dies
• After cropping the ahoy sentiment with a banner die from Stylish Shapes dies
• Crop the three birds from a scrap of black cardstock
• After cropping the clouds for the inside, outline them using Gray Granite
• Crop one of the wave pieces from Azure Afternoon cardstock

Putting the Card Pieces Together:

• Since there would already be so much bulk to the card that extra postage would be needed, I didn’t want to add dimensionals
• Therefore, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere all of the pieces together
• Personally, I think that I need to be most careful about adhering the inside of the card to the base
  • Therefore, using the Adtech Removable adhesive tape is essential to the inside placement
  • I can use the tape to eyeball where I think the inside top and bottom needs to be adhered, then open and close the card to make sure everything works as it should
  • The removable adhesive allows me to make adjustments before permanently adhering the inside
• This card is basically many layers coming together to create a fabulous and unexpected fun fold
• I hope you try this card for yourself and don’t forget to follow along with the West Coast Papercrafter’s tutorial video
