This card was made for a challenge that required multiple folds. I chose to make a tri-fold card inspired by Debbie Henderson's super cute card on her blog (https://debbiesdesignsblog.blogspot....ard-fold.html). I did change the pattern paper and embellishments. Debbie's tutorial has all the measurements you'll need, but I did find I had to change the triangle flap cut and the size of the circle dies to fit. The card base is 5-1/2"x 11" scored at 4" and 8". I used a 2-1/2" circle die for the front flap, and the 2" die for the inside flap.
For the front, I stamped air bubbles from the 2002 Stampin' Up! (SU) "Definitely Decorative Tropical Fish" set using white ink. I then used Glossy Accents to drop different sizes of circles on a silicone mat, and let them dry for several hours before picking them up and gluing in the centers of most of the bubbles.
The pattern paper are the beautiful undersea scenes in SU's "While of a Time" designer series paper (DSP). The sea turtle is also from one of the sheets which has several different sizes of turtles. I fussy cut him out, then mounted him on adhesive foam strips so he had more dimension in the circle cutouts.
Another thing I did different than Debbie was to cut a panel of white cardstock for the right inside of the card, then after gluing it in place, I used the small circle die to cut out the part of the white panel that showed thru the original circle cutout. That way I have plenty of room to write a personal message inside. Note that when you make this card using Debbie's measurements you will end up with the back of your pattern paper on the inside flap showing once the card is open. Since pattern paper is generally thinner than cardstock, I put the white panel inside to also cover up the back of the paper in addition to providing more writing room.
I am rating the difficulty level of this card as a "3" out of a possible "5". The hardest part is to make sure your circle openings align, but that's not really hard, it just takes attention to detail.
