Hi everyone,
Thank you for visiting my Blog today! I hope you are all having a great Weekend.
I have been wanting to make an open book card for sometime now. In my craft forum group, a few Ladies have been making them & then that reminded me that i never got round to making one. They are very simple to make & you can do it with or without dies. I hope you like the ones i have made.
The first picture above is made with the open book die set that i have. I have put the link in my Youtube video description. The paper pad is Mintay and i think i got it from https://thompsonscraftsupplies.com/. The unicorn type card is make with an edge die and the paper pad is from Hobbycraft. I have no idea if you can still get it as i bought it last year.
If you don't have an edge or border die you can still make this type of card without dies. Just follow the same sizes that i used and then you could just round the corners making it look like a Book. Easy!!!
Please find the measurements i used below in Metric & Imperial .
DIMENSIONS
CARD BASE IS 6 X 8" SCORE IN THE MIDDLE @ 4"
THEN 6 X 4"
THEN MAKE THE NEXT LAYER 5 1/2" X 3 1/2"
THEN 5 1/4" X 3 1/4"
THEN 5 X 3"
THEN 4 3/4" X 2 3/4"
FOLD THEM ALL IN THE MIDDLE CREATING YOUR 'BOOK'
OR 15.2 CM X 20.3 CM
15.2 CM X 10.2 CM
14 CM X 8.8 CM
13.3 CM X 8.2 CM
