Technique Tuesday - Tri-panel, Lace-border card

I've had a really pretty card for several months now, and have been meaning to "card-lift" it, because I love the simple folds and touch of lace border.  I received this card in a Magenta card swap I had joined, and it was made by Jaimie Sandler.  I think it is my favorite of all the cards I received, not only for the unique style, but also the fine craftsmanship, and the bright colors.  It really makes me smile.  Here's the card Jaimie sent me:

This card features three panels and two folds.  Here are my cards, and directions on how to make this simple, three panel card:

Inside/open view above

Simply start with an 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" piece of cardstock, and score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8". Fold top down and bottom up.  Punch 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" x 5 1/2" piece of coordinating or contrasting card stock with a lace edge punch to create lace border, and adhere to inside of upper flap. Add stamped panel and any other stamping and/or embellishments you'd like.  Easy!!
Here's another one....I just couldn't stop:

As you can see, you can keep things as simple as you like, or go all out and add layers and lots of stamping and embellishments.  Give it a try, and I guarantee you'll be coming back to this design again and again.  It's easy, yet elegant and classic!

Hope you're finding ways to stay cool in this heat.

Blessings and peace,
