This card is one I learned from my Stampin' Pal Cheryl when I got together with her and some friends mid February.  (See some of her creations.)  I call her the queen of 3D because she really likes the dimensional projects.  Here is a perfect example.  I love how the chick's eyes peek over the “happy Easter” when the card is closed if you position the Chick and Scallop Oval just right!  Click the Pic-->

Putting It Together Tips:

Part of the charm of this card is the folded base.  It is created from a 8” x 5 1/2“ piece of Almost   Amethyst Card Stock scored at the 4“ mark.  

1. Placing the card stock in portrait mode in front of you and measure 1 1/4“ from the left and right edges.  Draw a light pencil line from top to bottom.  
2. From the top measure 2”, 5 1/4”, 6 1/2“, and 7 1/4” And draw light horizontal lines.  
3. Cut a slit from the 2“ mark to the 7 1/4” mark along the vertical 1 1/4“ lines.
4. Scores the lines created in step 3 between the 1 1/4” vertical lines only.
5. Fold your card in half at the 4” score line.
6. Accordion fold the remaining score lines to create the “shelf” that will hold the card components.  TIP:  The 4“ fold in the center section of the card will be reverse folded from the car base fold. 

This sounds complicated but if you click the image above, you'll see the score and cutting lines.  The insert card that says ”you crack me up“ is a 2 1/2“ x 3 1/4” piece of card stock double matted to a finished size of 3“ x 3 3/4”

Mike, what are the sizes of the scolloped circle and oval? A rough guess is enough. I just wanted to get a feel for the sizes of paper I'll need.
Thanks for sharing!
