One Horse Open Sleigh Spanner fun fold card


I was surprised to see the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper back in stock.  It was unavailable last week but it's back now.  I featured it in one of my July card kits to go.  See it here online.

This designer paper is so pretty; it's filled with beautiful scenes and soft prints. 

It's called a spanner card because of it's unique fold – the horizontal layer spans the card from side to side.  

I added a few die-cut trees on the right side.  I colored them with Blends markers – adding brown and Gray Granite to the white. The greeting is from the Lasting Joy stamp set. 

The Gray Granite card base is a simple 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Then you cut up to the score line at the 1 1/4" mark on front; on both sides. 

I added designer paper to the center panel and also to both side panels.  The horizontal piece 'spans' under the to side panels like this: 

Measurements:

  • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4".  Cut up to the score line at 1 1/4". 
  • Horizontal layer 5 1/2" X 1"
  • Designer paper 2 3/4" X 4" and two pieces 1" X 4" for the sides. 

This card was included in both my PDF tutorial and the pre-cut card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold.  I have just two kits left.  You can see them both here along with other kits and tutorials.

  • Trio of Celebrate Sunflowers cards with video & an easy highlighting technique!


    Look at these gorgeous sunflower cards!  They were a big hit at my Card Clubs this month.  They could chose between Daffodil Delight, Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink for their sunflower. 

    We sponged each sunflower leaving the center without color except for a bit of Crumb Cake Blends marker.  I know it might not be realistic but I like the pop of White in the center for brightness. 

    Check out the Celebrate Sunflowers bundle here. 

    Then we used White Craft ink and Blender pens to highlight a few petals here and there on the sunflowers.  It's super easy! I created a video below so you can see how it's done. 

    Measurements:

    • Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", scraps for die-cuts
      Whisper White 3 1/2" X 4 3/4", plus a 3 1/2" piece for sunflower
      Early Espresso 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"
      In Good Taste DSP 1 3/4" X 4 3/4"
