Best Friends by Dori Mendiola

 Happy Thursday AI Friends!

My card today just screams friendship.  I think all of us would agree that Friends are the Best!  I don't know what I would do without my Besties!! 

I created a fun-fold card using the #5516 Friends Forever stamp set.

I stamped the image on copic friendly paper and colored with copic markers listed below.   I made the window on the front using the #5063 Rectangle A2 Double Stitched die.  I used the inside rectangle for the frame of the image and the outside stitched portion for the window frame.  I made a square 5 1/2" card but you can make this on a A2 card base as well.  For the fold piece inside, I cut a piece of 80 lb cardstock 8 1/4" x 4 1/2" and scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2".   If you want to make a different size card, such as an A2 (4 1/4" wide x 5 1/2" high), the inside fold piece is computed as 1.5 times the width and scoring in thirds (2 1/8" and 4 1/4").  Adhere your image to the top fold piece only, so that it will swing into the window when opened.  See picture below.

I stamped the sentiment from the #5516 Friends Forever stamp set onto a stitched circle using the #5064 Double Stitch Circle die and the frame using the circle die from #5902 Mini Scallop Frame.  I added a few enamel dots and a bow and my card is finished.

Hope you enjoyed my card today.  Keep creating!
