During the Card Carnival I was reading all the very positive and sweet comments. I had a lot of you that wanted a tutorial on the card. You asked and you shall receive!!

I got the idea from a card kit at my local craft store. I bought the kit and altered it to my needs. If you want to order the kit here is the website Pinecone Press, this link will take you to the place for this particular card. The kit I got was red, which did not match my theme, so I cut it down to what size I needed and traced my pattern onto black paper.

The base of my card is 4" wide and 12" long. Then I folded it at the 2 3/4", 4 1/4",
8 1/4", and 9 3/4". It should look something like this but with out the writing on it.


Now for the 4 folders, You will need a 4 1/4" wide by 8" long piece for your folder (times 4) then you will score it at 3 1/2" and 7 1/4" on the length then across the bottom you need to score it at 3/4". After you have done that you will need to cut off the scoring on the bottom of the 3 1/2" side, also you will cut an angle on each side of the remaining piece. This is what it should look like when you are finished.


Then to make the half circle on the front of the card. Cut a 2 1/2" circle with die cut machine, or free hand. Then cut it in half. Line it up in the middle of your 3 3/4" piece trace and cut out. It should look like this when finished.



Then you decorate your folders, your main piece of the card and anything that you are going to put in the folders.

I used cute little gummy treats :)


Then you will assemble it all. You fold the side 3/4" side with the 3 1/2" side and tape together using double sided tape or adhesive of your choice. Make sure you leave the bottom flap out, because this is how you will stick it to your card. When you have assembled all your folders, you will glue the flap to the card one at a time.


Then you will have this cute little card!!
(excuse the mess in the back)

Card Carnival Blog Hop

Welcome to our Card Carnival Blog Hop! You should have arrived
here from Ronnie. If you just happened
to stumble upon this hop, please be sure to go back to Sherry's blog
www.patternsbysher.blogspot.com, so you don't miss any
of the wonderful projects we have to share.

For my card I decided to do a Teacher Appreciation Card. To me it is like a card/mini~album.

This is the outside when it is tied up...

This is the top inside of the card..

This is what the card looks like when you open it up, these are the 4 folders inside...


This is the first folder..


This is the second folder...


This is the third folder...


This is the fourth folder...




These are the tags I made to put in the folders...


The card ties up with a ribbon, and when you untie it you find 4 folders to put treats, messages or anything your heart desires in it. I chose to make cute little tags that my son can write his favorite memories on, to give to his teacher.

Last but not least... I would like to give~away some blog candy. All you have to do is leave a comment. You DO NOT have to become a follower, but the more the merrier and when I get to 75 followers there will be more goodies!! I will be drawing for the blog candy pictured above next Sun, May 22nd.
