The card I am sharing today is one that I have seen on Pinterest but this one is a CAS of Mary Deatherage’s card. Her instructions are very clear and easy to understand.  I did exactly what she said not to do and had to start over.  This is an anniversary card for my grandson and his wife.  They love to hike, so I thought this would make a great card for them.

I am entering the As You See It Challenge — Outdoors.

As my card is a fun fold, I am also entering the Creative Creases Challenge.

This is the way my card looks opened.   My card base is Starry Sky card stock.  This is almost like two cards made side-by-side to hold up a card front.  Start with 2 pieces of Starry Sky cards cut 4-1/4″ x 8-1/4″.  Score each piece at 2-1/4″, 4″, and 6-1/4″.  The first fold is a mountain fold and the other two are valley folds. 

You can see the photo above for the folds.  Cut one piece 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″(this is one of the errors I did the first time.)  Watch Mary’s video as to how to put the wings on the card front.  She gives great details.

Cut four Coastal Cabana mats 2-1/8″ x 4-1/8″, cut one Coastal Cabana mat 4-1/8″ x 4-1/8″, and cut four Coastal Cabana mats 1-5/8″ x 4-1/8″.

First cut a piece of Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper 4-1/2″ x 12″. After you have cut this piece, trim 1/4″ inch from the bottom where the trees are to save your mountain peaks.  If you just cut a 4-1/4″ x 12″ piece you will cut your mountain peaks off. Next, cut the following (this is where I errored again, instead of numbering my pieces 1-5 and cutting that way, I cut 4 pieces without thinking of the design of the Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper.  I matted each piece and when I started adhering to the card base, I realized my error.  Start over I did, this time I numbered the pieces of Designer Series Paper as I cut.  #1 was 2″ x 4″, #2 was 1-1/2″ x 4″ #3 was 4″ x 4″, #4 was 1-1/2″ and #5 was 2″ x 4″.  As I adhered to the mats, I wrote the number on the back of the mat.  Mary gives very clear details about doing this. My second go round took about 9-1/2 minutes to assembly after all the pieces were cut.

This is the back side of the card with the sentiment.  I adhered these pieces as I cut them so there was no mix-up.  I had to look through so many stamp sets to find one that was anniversary, I can not remember which set I used.  We need more anniversary sentiments.

A Basic White medium envelope gets a piece of Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper adhered to the envelope flap.
