Cactus Theatre Fold Card

Hello!  This was a tricky one. I had purchased the Theatre Fold Frame die from Taylored Expressions and couldn't wait to play with it. I made the card base and was SOOO disappointed in how wobbly it was, and that it didn't stay together in my hands. I go over all the details, including how I created a work-around in my YouTube video:

Adding those bumper strips made such a differece, and I look forward to making more of these now.

I used the Cool Cactus stamps and dies from Your Next stamp - these images are so fun! All the other details are in the video.

I forgot to share the back of the card in the video though ... since there isn't much room for signing or a personal message on the front I added a white panel on the back. A simple patterned paper strip and another stamp from the set finished it off.
