It's amazing what a little fold can do!
I saw this idea when I was supposed to be cleaning my stamp room. I got distracted by some stamping magazine or book. (don't have a clue which one) I loved the idea, and it seemed like just cutting my standard sheet of cardstock in the opposite direction and adding one extra fold could make any card look like more fun and like it took a whole lot more time to make than it did!
I used sage green cardstock...cut the long way, ends up being 11 x 4 1/4. Scored that in the middle the long way at 5 1/2 inches and folded then scored the front of the card in the center at 2 3/4 inches and folded it the opposite way. I stamped it with some swirls on the base card and stamped the saying both in black. Drug some black ink around the edges of everything to give it that distressed grungy look. I absolutely love my Cut 'n Dry felt pads and Distress Ink Pads for this!! The saying got matted with black card stock and then adhered to the right side of the folded flap.
And....you're done! It's really quick, really simple.....just like Rice Krispy treats.....looks like you slaved all day, but you didn't.
The Dance..... saying stamp is from Angi-b & Co. Looks like they are having a big sale over there right now.

So lovely..both the double fold and this fold. I appreciate your giving good info on papers used and stamps. That way you have helped someone like me who has a hard time coordinating the papers.
Thanks
