I created this gate fold card using my ScorPal.

Using CTMH Cranberry Red CS, cut base of card 4.25 x 10 inches.

Score at 2.5 inches and 7.5 inches.

Using polka dot paper from CTMH 7064B Giggles and Grins cut two pieces 2 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches and adhere to each side of card base.

Using Black CS ,cut band for the card 1 x 10 inches.

Score at 3 inches and 7 1/4 inches.

Using Striped paper from Giggles and Grins cut band 1/2 x 10 inches.

Adhere to the Black strip. Make the the band fits around the outside of the card and adhere edges together.

Cut Black Scallop using Purple Marvy punch and A white circle using Pink Marvy punch.

I stamped a butterfly from CTMH set B1307 Whimsical Wings. I used Sunny yellow to color in the stars and some yellow stickles. I used a large silver eyelet and attached some sunny yellow ribbon and a bitty brad Z1051. Peirce each scallop around outside edge. Adhere stamped piece to the black piece. Adhere to the band.

Cut inside white piece 4 x 4 3/4 and adhere to inside. I stamped a sentiment from Lizzie Anne's Sketched Sentiments.

This is a nice quick card to make.

Five Finger Prayer

1. Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a 'sweet duty.'

2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.

3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president, leaders in business and industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.

4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is thefact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.

5. And lastly comes our little finger - the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. As the Bible says, 'The least shall be the greatest among you.' Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.

Bookmark

This was an experiment for me. I used my perforation tool and created a bookmark at the edge of the card so the receiver will be able to tear it off and get some extra use out of the card. I used a CB embossing folder. CTMH X7095B Boom-D-Ada Paper, X7095C Boom-D-Ada Stickease, Z1052 RicRac and Lizzie Anne - Sketched Sentiments. OH and I used Z822 Summer Posies and Z1283 Autumn buttons.
