Whatever Wednesday - Open Sesame, Twice


Just when you pull open the front of this card, you discover that there is ANOTHER card front to open.  Surprise.  I folded a piece of dsp, slightly smaller than my card, in half and scored it about 3/4" next to the fold.  It helps to make a nice crease with a bone folder on both score lines of the dsp.

After folding the dsp around the card, I opened the card & laid the card front only (both layers lined up) on piercing mat.  Three holes are then pierced between the score lines down the side of the card fronts.  Insert brads (the flower brads are such a nice match to this dsp!) through both card layers.  When done, you should have the brads inserted through everything except the back of the card.
Add decorations or stamped images to the front of the dsp.  I added a cute little metal-edged flower tag from my bottomless embellishment box that seemed just right for this card.  A button makes a sweet center for it.   So, when you open up the front of this card, there's a surprising second card front to open! And, when you use double sided designer series paper, the inside cover is a new color and pattern!
I think this message is very sweet.  It says, "There is nothing wrong with the world that a sensible woman could not settle in an afternoon."  The stamp set called Favorite Thoughts has stamps about women that every woman will love!  Check this stamp set out in the Summer Mini Catalog on page 19.  If you don't have a copy, you can view this new catalog on the Stampin' Up website beginning May 1! 

Have a fantastic day!
