Book Binding Fold

 Book Binding Fold

This card was created using the True Beauty Bundle and the Awash in Beauty DSP. I used the White Crinkled Seam Binding ribbon, colored with a Stampin' Blend to coordinate with the DSP. Old Olive and Blushing Bride ink.

All measurements in inches

1. Card Base 4-1/4 x 11, socre @ 4-1/4 and 5-1/2

2. 4 x 4 DSP

3. DSP 1 x 4 for the spine on the card front

4. 6 x 6 DSP for the explosion mechanism. Fold in half, the rotate and fold in half the other way. Flip it over and fold corner to corner.

5. Basic White 2-7/8 x 2-7/8 for the inside, in the explosion mechanism.

6. Adhere ribbon along the spine, with the ends on the inside where you will glue it shut just on that 1 inch section. With another piece of ribbon, thread it through the first ribbon and tie a knot.

7. Glue the DSP mechanism in a diamond shape (point to point) with the opening facing out.

You can do two versions of this card, one in landscape and one in portrait.
