You are my Sun, Moon and Stars | Stamping Bella

Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing how I made this Frame Flip Card featuring Tiny Townie Astrology Chart. This set includes all three stamps that I used on the card. 

The inspiration for this card came from one I saw on YouTube by a lady named Paula. I knew the card would be a perfect way to showcase all of the stamps in the Tiny Townie Astrology Chart set so I played around with the measurements and made my own version. The card folds up to a 5" x 7" but it would be adaptable enough to create any size.
 




Supplies:
Card
Designer paper
Scoring board and bone folder
Wet glue/double sided tape

How to:
Stamp the astrology chart onto a piece of white card measuring 3.25"(H) x 4.25"(W). Stamp the Tiny Townie image and sentiment onto a piece of white card measuring 4.5"(H) x 5.5"(W). Color the images with your preferred medium. 
 


Card base:
Cut two pieces of card measuring 5" x 11.5" and two more pieces measuring 5" x 6.5" 
Score the 5" x 6.5" pieces on the long side at 0.5" and 3". 
Score the 5" x 11.5" in pieces on the long side at 6" and 8.5" 



Frame:
Cut another piece of card, and a piece of designer paper measuring 5" x 6". With a pencil, mark in 0.75" from each edge to create a rectangle. Alternatively, score at 0.75" on the four sides as shown below. 



Using a craft knife, remove the inner rectangle on both the card and paper pieces. 


On the 5" x 11.5" pieces, fold in the 6" score line and fold back the 8.5" score line. 


On the 5" x 6.5" pieces, fold in the 3" score line and fold back the 0.5" score line. 


Adhere the 6" section of each long piece together. 


Apply adhesive to the 3" end section and adhere the 3.5" section of the smaller piece to it - lining up the outside edges. Repeat on the opposite end of the long piece with the other small piece. Ensure the fold lines meet when the font section is closed. 


There will be 0.5" difference between the front and back pieces you just stuck together. 



Adhere the paper frame to the card frame. 


Open back the two 0.5" sections and apply adhesive to them. 


Adhere the frame to the 0.5" sections only.

Front of card when folded up. 


Take the astrology card and cut it directly down the centre. 


Adhere to each side of the front panel, ensuring they meet in the middle. 


Mat the image onto white card measuring 4.75" x 5.75" and adhere to the inside back. 
Decorate the front of the card if desired. I was happy not to use any embellishments on this card.
