Peace on Earth - Shutter Card

Sadly, I had to put my 6-year-old cat, Milo down last Monday which was National Black Cat Day. He developed a kidney infection, but they couldn't make him better. It was hard to say good-bye! So, I've been taking care of him and not much stamping. I had to cancel a workshop I had last Sunday, but I plan on doing it this Sunday.

Here are my instructions for making this card:

Stamp Set: Peace on Earth

Cardstock: Cloud Cover, Secret Sea, Basic White, Peaceful Garden DSP

Ink: Secret Sea

Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Paper Trimmer, Stylish Shapes, Bone Folder, Peace on Earth Dies, 2-3/8” Circle Punch, Tear & Tape, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Pencil, Ruler, Paper Snips, Misty Moonlight & Silver Edged Ribbon, Hues of Blue Flowers

1. The base of the card is Cloud Cover cardstock cut at 5-1/2” x 8-1/2” and scored at 2-1/8” and 6-3/8” and 3” x 5-1/2”. Fold and burnish with the Bone Folder to create a gate fold card.

2. The DSP is cut at 1-7/8” x 5-1/4” (x2) for the front panels. Adhere with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

3. Using the largest Stylish Shape Dies, die cut a circle from the Secret Sea cardstock. Then use the second largest Stylish Shapes Dies to cut a Cloud Cover circle. Layer the two circles together.

4. Cut Basic White cardstock at ½” x 4” for the sentiment. Ink up “Peace, Love & Joy” with Secret Sea ink.

5. Use Basic White scraps for the doves. Add the doves to the circles and adhere the sentiment with Multipurpose Glue. Adhere the left side of the circles to the left panel, but add the ribbon underneath long enough that you can tie a bow on the right side.

6. Then cut 3” x 5-1/2” Cloud Cover cardstock for the inside. Cut the DSP at 2-3/4” x 5-1/4”. Use a 2-3/8” Circle Punch through both layers in the center. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the layers to the bottom and top but only adhere the bottom for now.

7. For the shutters: Cut the DSP at 3-1/2” x 4” and cut 2 of them. Score at ½” on the 3-1/2” end on both pieces. Measure 2” on the 4” side and mark with a pencil. At the 2” pencil mark, measure 1-1/2” up and make a pencil mark. With the Paper Snips, trim from center pencil mark to both points so it creates what looks like a banner. On the ½” side, attach Tear & Tape. Put both pieces under the Center Bridge and making sure to line them up eventually underneath the Center Bridge. Place the adhesive side up to the inside flap just beside the score line. Then close the front flap over it so it adheres. Then line up the other side and do the same.

8. Now, you can adhere the top Stampin’ Dimensionals.

9. Add three of the Hues of Blue Flowers to the front Circles.
