Frames & Flowers Puzzle Slider Card

Here’s another Mystery Monday Fun Fold card. Jeanie Stark from JustStampin.com has been posting clues to a mystery fun fold card each Sunday and Monday and on Tuesday, she reveals her actual card. By following along with the clues, it’s fun to see what card actually comes together. Sometimes it’s a real surprise to me!

Today’s card was a fun fold I had never made and surprising (to myself) came together very quickly and easily. Take a look…

So looking at the photo above doesn’t give much of an indication of very unique card. But open it up and ta da…!

Isn’t that a fun way to open a card, especially if you’re not a cardmaker. Someone who receives this will love seeing the uniqueness of it. I’m keeping this in mind for my son-in-law, James’, birthday in September. James is a big fan of my cards and always makes a fuss over them. So naturally, I like to make a fuss over the cards I send him!

And here’s the entire inside…

I followed Jeanie’s clues HERE, except I added an extra layer to the four front puzzle pieces. My measurements for those are: Petal Pink: 2 1/8 x 2 1/4 (cut 2) & 2 1/8 x 3 1/4 (cut 2), Lost Lagoon: 2 x 2 1/8 (cut 2) & 2 x 3 1/8 (cut 2), DSP: 1 7/8 x 2 (cut 2) & 1 7/8 x 3 (cut 2).

The Designer Series Paper I used is the Frames and Flowers DSP which is still available. I waited so long to get this paper as every time I went to order, it was unavailable. I finally received it and it just sat and sat. What I really like about this paper is that it has a lot of ephemera pieces much like a card kit, which makes card making that much easier. I used pieces on the front, inside and envelope.

The sentiment circle is cut from the retired Layering Circles Dies and the sentiment is from a retired hostess set, Mischievous Mice which I think is an adorable set. I have no problem pulling sentiments from retired sets for my cards. Do you?

As always, thanks for taking the time to stop by.

Take care,

Rosanne
