Hello and welcome to another tuesday craft. Can you believe we are now in the month of December!. I don't know where this year has gone it seems to have literally flown by......
Anyway it's tuesday and I've got another card make for you, which I loved making and it can be made in any size, they can be made smaller and become decorations or larger, you just need to make sure you have an envelope that it will fit into, or make your own of course, and your dsp just needs to always be 1/4" smaller than your cardstock and it will fit.
The size we are making today will fit nicely into a C6 envelope so let's get started.....

Pretty Peacock cardstock
3pc - 3" x 3" for the card base squares
Scrap piece for the die cutting of 1 x fern

Card recipe:
1. Cut all of your pieces of cardstock and dsp to the sizes required.
2. Score the 3 Pretty peacock squares down the centre from corner to corner like in the picture below, and glue them altogether, making sure you only place wet glue where you need it .
3. Cut the whisper white and the dsp squares the same way that you scored your other squares and glue them flat to the inside and outside of your card.
This is again is the inside of the card.
4. Adhere the velcro dot into place as seen in the picture above, both sides of it still attached to each other. Peel the backing off and wrap this side of the card over the top of the other side from the outside of card, the card will now be in the pyramid shape, and have all the dsp glued to the outside. There will be 1 piece of dsp leftover as only 3 sides of the pyramid need to be covered.
I've done this sample to show you in a different colour, but this is how the pyramid should look, if the card has folded round to the otherside this doen't matter as it can go either way.
5. All that remains to be done is die cutting all of the different ferns and leaf pieces. Stamp the Hello sentiment onto the middle of the piece of cardstock and then using the Banners pick a punch, punch both ends of the banner.
6. Give the banner a slight curve and glue it to the front of the pyramind glueing only both of the ends flat, leaving somewhere for you to be able to tuck and glue your fern pieces underneath it. Adhere the enamel dots either end of the sentiment and that is the card finished.
I loved making this card it's such a fun shape and it unfolds and goes flat into the envelope ready to post, but just unfastening the velcro dot. I made a couple more to show you using different colours and different papers. Hope you like it and make yourself some in different colours too.
Take care until next time stay safe and have fun crafting
Sending Big Crafty hugs to you all
