Girls Rock

Girls ROCK!

Doesn't this card just make you happy?  It's so bright and cheery, uses the Girls Rock stamp set and the Chantilly papers.  The pattern for the card is actually quite simple, although it looks complicated.  

Start with a 12"x5.5" piece of cardstock.  With the paper LONG (horizontal) in your trimmer, score at 2", 4", 8", and 10".  Now rotate the cardstock 90* in your trimmer (vertical or TALL), and cut at 1-1/2" from the 1st score line to the last score line, then repeat the identical cut at 4-1/2" from the 1st score line to the last score line.  

Now it get's tricky...when it comes to the folds.  The top of the card is folded M-V-M-V (M=mountain, V=valley).  The center row is folded on the 2nd score line in a M-fold, then V-fold (opposite from the top and bottom rows - the 1st and 4th score lines on the center row are not folded).  Then the last row is folded the same as the top M-V-M-V.  

When the card is folded correctly, it collapses down to a standard card size (4-1/4" x 5-1/2").  Embellish each section with coordinating B&T and cardstock.  The flowers on this card were cut using the Art Philosophy Cartridge...just cut, stamp and assemble!  So fast, simple and easy!
