I love those special fold cards and think they are awesome, but I seldom get into that type of card because they just seem too fussy for me. Every now and then I come across one that is not too difficult and I just have to try it. I found the instructions on Pinterest and just had to give it a try. I wrote down all the dimensions as I watched the video and now I can make one anytime I want without trying to find the video again. I needed a birthday card and I used this Double Front Card and I just love how it turned out.
I used a Stampin Up set of retired stamps for the sentiments. I love how elegant the lettering is and had forgotten I had this set. You know the old saying...Out of sight, Out of mind.....
This picture shows the second front part of the card. I used the Anna Griffin embossing folder (Foundry) on this card and I love the look it gives.
Clean and simple inside of the card. I always leave this part blank and I can write a message for the recipient. It just gives the card the personal touch I think.
I really enjoyed making this card and will make more of these soon. Hope you are ready for your weekend and that you get to do something you love.

I love the simple beauty of this, Glenda! Neat fold, I may have to try it, although I tend to stay away from fancy folds as well. Thanks for sharing!
this is gorgeous, I love that fold too!!!
Lovely and simple, I like it!!! This is a great idea for a personl note and still be able to display the card. Yep I'll have to try this one too.
Thanks for stopping by for your visits on my blog too!
That is a beautiful card, Glenda, love the clean lines and the embossing. I am with you on fold cards, lots of work went into this one, lots of layers! Hope your Friday has been a good one.
This is so elegant and beautiful, Glenda! The green with the gold and the lovely embossing is pure class. I like interesting folds and they're fun to execute, but my stamping time is so precious and limited these days I rarely take the time. There are some simple ones, though, that I need to revisit. This turned out very special!
Beautifully elegant card Glenda, love the embossing on it & that wonderful stamp set. I love the folds on this one & will definately have to give it a try ... It doesn't look too terribly difficult for me to try & figure out.
