Fold & Lock Fun Fold Using an 8-1/2″ x 11″ Cardstock

I saw this card design on Gerry’s Craft Room YouTube Channel and I absolutely loved it; however, the measurements were for a card with a height of 5-3/4″ and Gerry’s card used a piece of 12″x12″ cardstock. I decided to make a similar card – only using a standard sheet of cardstock.

The card offers a flap that folds inside a pocket to “lock” the card closed. when opened it reveals the beautiful 3 panel layout of your sentiment and designer series paper (or whatever you choose to decorate the side of the card). The card pictured uses the Tasteful Label Dies for the front and the Tasteful Touches Stamp Set. Also, the Textures Designer Series Paper (all retiring at the end of April 2022).
