Napkin Fold

The Butterflies are back and there is a new challenge up and running over on the blog.
The tutorial  as normal is over on the Butterfly Blog on the card shapes page.


Here is my inspiration for you.

This is the outside of the card.  Folded and secured by a ribbon bow.
The butterfly design paper is a freebie from a magazine a long time ago. The sentiment and silver swirls from my stash also the ribbon.

This is what you see when you open the card up. The Napkin fold is attached to the centre of the card. The sides fold over to close the card down but it also stands up like a gatefold card for display. 
As you gently  pull open the napkin it will display a further message inside.
This is the napkin fold fully opened. 
I am popping over to the playground with this card as the snazzy navy print is actually the inside of of two envelopes that came in the post. Too good to chuck away in the bin so I didn't.
Entering into Pixie's Crafty Workshop # 403. Use your snippets. 


I do hope you will give this card shape a try out  and come and play in the Butterfly Garden with me.
The challenge is running for 3 weeks  and will therefore close on Tuesday 15th June  8pm.(GMT).

Virtual Hugs 
 And Stay safe.
 Enjoy a holiday at home this year.

  2. Very impressive card using yet another clever fold. Well done for using up the inside of some envelopes - as you say too good to throw away!!

  14. Wonderful card my friend! Love the colour combination you used as well. I carefully read the instructions then had a lie down to recover. But, it actually reminds me of my Mum folding starched napkins into water lilies when they had posh dinner parties in Singapore. Wow, that was a blast from the past!
