Giddy up! Trifold Shutter Card- Cowboy Theme

 

New card for sale on my etsy site!  Cowboy theme any occasion card.  These cards have some weight to them so when you mail them it may take two stamps.  This was actually fun to make.  I think I have one more in me and then I will give the design a rest except for custom requests!

Trifold Shutter Card

Shutter Card Fully Open

Shutter Card Front Closed

 This is the my first attempt at a Trifold Shutter Card. It was actually pretty simple...not taking in account my crazed paper selection process!  I can see a few of these showing up in my etsy store next week. www.madebymarmee.etsy.com  I have a masculine paper that I have been itching to use and this style is perfect.
This particular card is for my oldest daughter's 25th birthday! A day late and 4 days late before she holds in her hands but at least she gets to see it.
The card base is in the color from her wedding, Wild Wasabi. All the DSP (designer series paper) is Stampin Up and is mounted on Chocolate Chip. I used several punches (two-step bird, owl, and new artisan label) and a framelit for the front to showcase the owl (also something she likes). I finished it off with some retired Wasabi stitched ribbon also leftover from her wedding. It would be so easy for the purchase to further customize the empty spaces with small photos!
