K-card

Going along with my Alphabet Challenge, I chose to do a k-card for the letter K. These cards are a neat take on a pop out card where the center image rotates as you open the card. These can be tricky to make because things need to line up precisely. There are two parts to this card. The front is similar to a standard card where the paper is folded in half. The second piece has an accordion fold. That's where the rotation comes into play.

 

Once I got the card all set up, I chose my main image and text. I decided to go with a StampinUp! stamp where the sentiment would apply to a few different card giving situations. I paired it with a wildflower silhouette stamp that I love.

To set off the cool blues from the center image, I chose a rich brown color pallet for the background. I used a stamp from the same set as the wildflower to create a background pattern.

I wanted there to be plenty of space on the inside of the card to write a message. I decided to color the inside with a nuance to a lighter, creamer brown. This way any pen or pencil will show up on the background.

 And here is the finished card!
