Spanner Panel Card

by Wendy Lee

With some simple cuts, create a fun layered card.

Supplies

  • Cardstock – 5 1/2” x 8 1/2” (Stampin’ Up!® Basic Black cardstock used here)
  • Paper Trimmer
  • Bone Folder
  • Other supplies as needed to complete the project (SU supplies used here: Blackberry Bliss & Whisper White cardstock, Black Glitter Paper, Window Sheet, Magic In This Night Designer Series paper, Blackberry Bliss ink, Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, Ornate Frames dies, Stitched Shapes dies, Halloween Magic dies, Metallic Mesh Ribbon, Iridescent Pearls, Stampin’ Seal, Black Dimensional Combo Pack, Multipurpose Liquid Glue)

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Fold 5 1/2” x 8 1/2”cardstock in half.

  2. Step 2

    Open the cardstock and cut in 1-1/4” from the left and right edge, stopping at the center fold.

  3. Step 3

    Embellish the inside of the card as desired.

  4. Step 4

    Flip down the center section and embellish as desired.

  5. Step 5

    Fold down the side panels. Attach a diecut or an acetate or cardstock panel from side to side, and embellish.

  6. Add layers of cardstock to the sides to cover the ends of the spanning panel. (For an 1/8" border, cut these panels to 4" x 1".)

  7. Step 6

    Complete the project. This card will fold flat and fit into an A2 envelope.

I made this fun card! However, I don't know how to get my card to upload to the specified gallery. I uploaded it to my gallery. What do I need to do differently?
