something for Jackie

These next 3 pictures are for Jackie (you know who you are! and sorry its taken me so long!) I dont know what this style of card is called because I took the idea from a birthday card I received some time ago, (as you do!) Anyway here goes...
 
This is the "wrap" part. Its made up of a piece of double sided 12" x 12" paper cut to measure 20cm square. Measure 5 cm inwards at each corner and score a line from edge to edge.  Fold each corner backwards as shown. Stick the corners down with a 3d pad and thread ribbon through each slot.




In this sample the card is made using a mandela peel off. Each layer is applied to a different side of the backing paper and cut out. The panel in the centre of the card measures 7cm square. Some of the remainder of the "wrap" paper was used to complete the design.

I hope, that if you havent already made a simular card to this in the past, you wil have a go. Its really effective!
This is the finished card with the wrap tied around it. The papers are from one of the"my mind's eye" ranges.
