FEATHERED FRIEND SUSPENDED FUN FOLD

Today's card is a Suspended Book Fun Fold.  I first saw this card on Jan B's website, a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator from the UK.  Her card was a 5" X 7" card, but I wanted to make it in our "normal" A2 size.

It took a bit of trial and error, but I finally came up with proportions I liked.

The center section of the fun fold is the "book".  It is suspended on mechanisms that hold the book in space.

I demonstrated a version of this card in my Learning with Friends Video yesterday.  It is probably much easier to understand if you watch the video.

I used designer series paper from the Beautiful Gallery Collection.  The "book" uses one of the scenes from this beautiful DSP.

I added one of the cute little birds from Feathered Fun in the foreground of the scene.  I can imagine him thinking about where he should build his nest in the weatherworn building.

The white die cut stem and the sentiment are from the Beautiful Motifs Bundle.

I'm not sure what type of bird this is.  It could probably be colored to make it a variety of species, but I just wanted him to be cute and colorful so I used Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends.

The front of this card flips open to provide plenty of space on the inside for a Greeting or a personalized note.
