As its raining all day here, I made a second card for the WT524 : Tortoise or Hare? Forums at Splitcoaststampers
Still a tortoise here...
Sometimes we buy beautiful PP and don't want to cut it into pieces so we keep it in a drawer.
A few days ago I came across a great fold .
I tried it on a piece of copy paper because it intrigued me, but unfortunately I was in a hurry and did not make a note of the blog I found it...
But it was good to use for those lovely papers of 12" without any cut -- just by folding it.
All folded up it looks like a little gift package and it closes like you would do with a box.(see photo in the left upper corner)
The photo on the right shows when it is partially unfolded.
In the left corner you see the completely unfolded card to reveal the stamping decoration part.
The 4th photo shows the other side of the paper and this was the reason why I could not cut it up...blue prints of airplanes and more pictures !
The sentiment, airplanes and cogs are stamped with Versafine "Blue Majestic" and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
The tag is punched out and decorated with a few cogs and an iron airplane.

This is totally incredible! I love it! Now a plea! I've been sitting here with a piece of paper, trying to figure out this fold. I think I've got all the basic folds correct, but I can't figure out how to fold it up into the pictures in the upper right and upper left. Help?!?! TIA, and TFS!

This is an amazing piece of paper. I see why you couldn't cut into it and I am glad you didn't. You chose a gorgeous fold for this fabulous piece of paper. Great card!

This is a great use for all those papers we can't cut into, Niki, and it makes a fun presentation! Thanks for sharing it with us at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge this week!
