MAKE IT MONDAY CHALLENGE

Make It Monday #198: Three Panel Cards
 
This is a challenge with a little different twist on the shape of the card.  Start with a 4 1/4 " by 11" piece of cardstock.  Score at 3" from each end.  Here  is the video for more information
 
This card went together rather easily.  I used the stamp and complimenting die from Paper Trey Ink called Big Hugs.  I love working with the set.  The die cuts very cleanly and the sentiment inside is just what I want to say.  I also used GKD, Berries and Vines Design Paper on the front panels, and Jelly Bean Green card base  After die cutting the word,  HUGS out of Jelly Bean Green, three times, I also cut it out of black.  Then glued them all together with the black offset to cause a shadow.  I really liked that.  On the top panel, I used Spellbinders die, Scalloped Borders Two,  for the  border.
 
 
Here is the inside, just one of the sentiments for this set. 
I will be sending this one to my 90 year old aunt.  I visit her often and really enjoy the time that I spend with her.  When I get old, I want to be just like her.  While away, I can send her cards, as she does not hear very well on the phone. 
 
 
Thanks for stopping in to take a closer look at this card.  Also thanks for the little bits of love that you leave.  So much appreciated.

  7. What a fun and fantastic card design. I love that pattern paper and we just enjoyed some strawberries for lunch and they were just as yummy as yours look on paper. Everything you used on your card certainly works well!

  14. Beautiful treatment to the top flap of your tri-fold card, Barbara! Love the GKD paper (which I have and need to use instead of hoarding it) The scallops inside are perfect too :-)
