I had so much fun creating this simple Book Binding Card yesterday on my Weekly Facebook Crafting Wednesday’s Live.

 

My cards today I used the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle paired with the GORGEOUS Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper.   This paper is so stunning in person and makes the perfect Fall Card,

The sentiments in this stamp set send the perfect message to make anyone smile.

What I absoloultely love about the Book Binding Fold, you can easily mass produce many cards in a timely manner.  This fold just adds a little extra to your basic fold and showcases our amazing designer paper.

 

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:

  • Cardbase Rich Razzleberry 4 1/4″ x 11″  Scored at 5 1/2″ and 6 3/4″
  • 4″x4″ Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper of your choice
  • 1″ x 4″ Blackberry Beauty Desiger Paper (Same Pattern as 4″x4″)
  • 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ Blackberry Beauty Designer Paper (I used a more solid pattern to coordinate nicely with Dies)
  • About a 3/4″ x 3 1/2″ Strip of Be Dazzling SAB Paper (ONLY AVAIL UNTIL 9/30)  Plus a Basic White Scrap to stamp sentiment on
  • 4″x4″ Basic White Cardstock for inside of card and finish off with 3/4″ x 4″ strip of coordinating designer paper (This is optional)

 

INSTRUCTIONS: 

  • Fold Card base in half and glue the center together flat to allow you card to open like a book
  • Add Layers of designer paper to the front of the card base and tie Gold 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon on the bookbinding edge
  • Stamp Sentiment on Basic White Strip and adhere to Be Dazzling Paper.
  • I used the 2 detailed pumpkin dies from the Detailed Pumpkin Dies Set and cut out in coordinating colors.  I used Cinamon Cider and Cajun Craze for the larger pumpkins and Blackberry Bliss and Cajin Craze for the smaller pumpkins
  • Add smaller 3/4″ x4″ strip to 4″x4″ Basic White and adhere to inside of card.
  • I finished off with adding the Brushed Metalic Dots

I absolutely loved this paper so much and thought that the Gold Shimmer RIbbon is such a great addition I thought I would some samples from a class I recently took with my friends Patty Bennett and Melanie Hockin
