It's my sister's 50th birthday next week, and she's also a card maker, so I wanted to create something special (and impressive) for her milestone birthday. I used a couple of my Sloth digi stamps along with Stampin' Up!'s Pretty Perennials stamps and dies (full list of supplies at the end).
This style of card does take TIME... but I made this just after I had figured out the measurements for my first accordion window card here, so it was fresh in my mind.
Here's a couple more photos closer up of each panel...
I had to make my own envelope as the size of this card when folded up is about 4 1/2 x 6 1/2.
So I gusseted the edges (is that the right word?) and added magnets for closure.
and since I didn't fit "50th" on the card itself, I put it on the front of the envelope, since the magnets hold it close, she doesn't have to destroy the envelope.
