Here is a pic of the card closed:
Supplies you will need:
2 pieces of cardstock measuring 4 1/4" x 8 1/2"
1 piece of cardstock measuring 1 1/2" x 3"
Adhesive
Pencil & Ruler
Scor-Pal
You will begin by taking a piece of your cardstock that measures 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" and lay it so that the 8 1/2" side is along the top of your Scor-Pal. Make score marks at 1 1/2" and 3"
Repeat the same score marks ( 1 1/2" and 3") on the 2nd piece of cardstock that measure 4 1/4" x 8 1/2".
Fold on your score marks. Make sure that when you are folding the 3" score mark is going to be folded behind the longer piece as shown below.
Then you will take your cardstock that measures 1 1/2" x 3" and put the corner into the 1" mark on your Scor-Pal and line up the other corner as close to the 1" mark along the left side of the Scor-Pal as possible. Example is shown below. Then make a diagonal score mark as shown. (If you don't have a Scor-Pal then you can use your ruler and pencil to measure 1 1/2" down your piece of cardstock and create a diagonal score mark manually.)
Fold over on your score mark and place adhesive on the triangle that was created when you folded the cardstock.
Turn over one of your pieces of cardstock measuring 4 1/4" x 8 1/2" and you will line up your diagonal score mark with the top of the middle section (as shown below in the picture).
Keeping that piece of cardstock still turned over you will place adhesive on both of the ends (the far left edge and the far right edge). Take your 2nd piece of cardstock and adhere it to the one you just added adhesive too. Make sure that it faces the same way as shown below. Make sure that the score lines are on the left this time.
This is how the window wiper will tuck into the card when you push the sides together.
And here is the finished card. Now you are ready to decorate as you wish.
For my card I have used Ava from InStyle Stamps. I just love their fairy line....so cute and whimsical! I decorated my wiper so that when the card opens up you see this flower pop up! I have decorated the two far left panels and stamped a sentiment in one of those rectangles. You could also leave one blank if you wanted to write a special note on it.
Recipe:
Stamps: Ava Sitting by InStyle Stamps, Great Impressions Sentiment Stamp
Inks: Momento Tuxedo Black, Copics
Papers: Cosmo Cricket Everafter Collection, SU Cardstock
Tools: MS border punch, Spellbinder Blossom nesties, MS leaf and branch punches
Embellishments: Prima and Imaginisce White Elephant flowers, Cherry Blossom, Prima say it in crystal center, star dust stickles (for fairy wings), rhinestone from my stash (for the top of Ava's magic wand).
