Then there's a surprise when you open the card and see inside! It's a box card that folds flat to go in an envelope but it pops up when the card is opened. I glued a Whisper White panel inside, punched a Decorative Label aperture and added an olive piece of CS behind the aperture. I used the Boho Blossoms and Itty Bitty flower punches to make flowers to go on the piece of olive CS. I then added some die cut leaves, stamped the sentiment and stamped part of the Medallion on the envelope front.
I came across this type of card a few days ago. The one I saw was made using a 12" x 12" piece of CS but I wanted to use a piece of A4 CS. I cut an A4 piece of Cajun Craze CS so that the card was as tall as a normal A6 card. I then scored the CS on the long side at 3 1/2", 7", 7 1/2" and 11" and I had to cut a smidgen off the right hand side. The box part inside folds flat when the card is closed and the front of the card isn't wide enough to cover that. So I punched an Old Olive border with the Eyelet Border punch and glued it behind the card front. I think I may have avoided that if I'd glued the box shape differently, I'll have to try it again!
Here's a photo taken from the top so you can see the box shape on the inside of the card.
