A Matchbook Fancy Fold Fall Card

card 1
 My fancy fold card is an oldie, but a goodie.  One of my first stamping classes (ages ago) featured a matchbook fold card and I've loved it since!  I create this fall themed version with some beautiful double-sided paper and a leafy image by Inkadinkado.
card 2
 I printed the quote for the inside and inked it with my Tintz inks, similar to Distress Stain, only better but also discontinued.  :(  To make this card, cut a piece of paper to 4.25 X 11.5" then score at 4.5 and 10".  Fold 'er up!  I punched two holes to attach the ribbon, which secures the flap down.
card 3
I'm sharing this simple, easy to mail card with Allsorts Challenge Blog for their All Sentimental challenge HERE, with Crafty Cardmakers & More for their Autumn Colors challenge HERE, and with Just Add Ink for their Fancy Fold challenge HERE.  Happy AUTUMN!  ;0

    What a wonderful fold - closing our cards is not something we think of often. Lovely use of papers both inside and outside the card. Chantell JAI

    Truly, I love how you create Autumn. This card is beautiful. I have never seen one made this way - with the paper all the way across both sides without cutting. But then, I am a baby in card making so all your cards thrill me!! The different patterns and colors all blend so well and make such an elegantly luscious display of fall splendor. j.
