BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES AROUND THE DOORS

Today we have some beautiful silver butterflies fluttering around our front door!


This Open Door Fun Fold is an impressive card that is sure to WOW your special recipient.


I used several embossing folders to give lots of texture to our elegant card.  The "walls" on the side of our double doors were embossed with the Exposed Brick 3D embossing folder.  Our "roof" was embossed with the Dashing Details 3D embossing folder.  And the protective "awning" that is "covering" our doors was embossed with the Beautiful Butterflies embossing folder.

When making an "all-white", or any monochromatic card, consider adding lots of texture.  It is a great way to create interest.

As you slowly start to open the "awning", you see more of the beautiful, brushed silver doors.  Both sides of the double doors are covered with Brushed Silver Foil.


As you continue to raise the awning, the doors automatically open and you are welcomed inside.

Once inside you can give your recipient a special hug with your personal message.

Maybe you are thinking, "This Fun Fold looks complicated".  Yes, it may be a little more than some, but no worries, I showed you all the tips and tricks of making this Open Door Fun Fold during my Learning with Friends video.  If you missed it when it premiered yesterday, you can still watch the replay.

In the video I used the Storybook Friends Bundle and Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper, the that's just the "decor" of your card.  The mechanics are all the same!

In addition to the video tutorial you can download a written tutorial that includes all details you need.  There are several diagrams with dimensions and step-by-step directions to make the Fun Fold.  Use this link to download a copy.
