BY THE BOOK

Today’s card uses a technique that I haven’t tried before, the Book-Binding technique.

This is a fun and easy technique.  Just cut a piece of cardstockto 11″ x 4-1/4″.  Then score it at 5-1/2″ and again at 4-1/4″.  Fold at the 5-1/2″ mark and then again at the 4-1/4″ mark.  Then adhere that 1-1/4″ piece to the card to leave the “binding”  that’s shown on the left side of this card.  See this open book below.

Then go ahead and decorate as you choose.  I used the Prized Peony stamp set(152504) and matching Peony Dies(152701) and decorated the inside for an extra pop.

Here’s the product list for you.
