Well readers, it has come to my embarrassed attention that I never posted, as promised, the HOW TO details for this lovely card using the Eden’s Garden stamp set, dies, and Designer Series paper. These supplies are now retired but you can definitely adapt it using other stamp sets and card stocks. Here are the basics:

Eden's Garden Double Flap Hello Card

Supplies and Dimensions:

Card Base: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 2-1/8″ on each short side (Soft Succulent – retired)
Designer Series Paper layers: (front flaps) 1-7/8″ x 5-1/4″ (2 pieces) (Ever Eden 12″ x 12″ – retired)
Inside Card Greeting Layer: 5-1/4″ x 4″ (Basic White)
Flap Layers: Base: 3-3/4″ x 2-1/4″ – 2 pcs; Next layer: 3-1/2″ x 2″: 4 pcs.
Greeting Layer: 2-7/8″ x 1-3/8″ (Basic White)
scraps for leaves (fussy cut) and die cut leaves.

Step by Step:

I use my so efficient Simply Scored Scoring Tool for quick and accurate scoring. This 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card front is scored at 2-1/8″, rotate and scored again at 2-1/8″ on other side. You can also carefully calculate the right side score line without rotating the card stock–it’s 6-3/8″.

Eden's Garden Double Flap Hello Card — Use Stampin’ Seal or Multipurpose Liquid Glue to attach this layer. Apply adhesive of your choice to ONLY the right side, about 1-1/2″. You don’t want it to extend onto the part of the layer that’s ‘floating’.

Eden's Garden Double Flap Hello Card — Repeat the same process as above for the upper flap layer but place the adhesive on the left side of the layer. 🙂 Stamp leaves on Basic White card stock scrap and fussy cut it with Paper Snips.
