Our weekly challenge from TGIF Challenges is to create a project with a closure feature--buttons, flaps, belly bands or ribbon. I created a double fold card with a ribbon closure. It is kind of a card on top of another card, held together with a small flap on the right hand side folded over from the back of the larger card base:
The smaller top card is attached to the flap with Tear & Tape so the card is opened from its left-hand side. The ribbon is attached to the top of the smaller card with Tear & Tape adhesive and then covered with a piece of designer series paper. The ribbon is wrapped around the card and tied in a bow on the left-hand side of the top card to keep the smaller card closed.
The above photo shows the smaller top card open.
This photo shows the small flap in the right-hand side open revealing the top of the larger card and showing where the top card is attached to the flap.
This final card shows the bottom card fully open. The bottom card base is 4-1/4" x 12", scored at 5-1/2" and 11". The top card base is 2-1/2" x 8", scored at 4".
The stamp set is Free As A Bird, with all images stamped in Basic Gray. Some were stamped directly on the card some were stamped and fussy cut. The images were colored with the following Stampin' Blends combos: Smokey Slate, Pale Papaya, Mint Macaron, and Misty Moonlight. These colors were picked from the Hand-Penned designer series paper (#155499) used on the project. The ribbon is Pale Papaya & White 1/2" woven ribbon (#155816). Pale Papaya Genial Gems (#155500) were also used to decorate the card.

Have a great week!
