Easter Pull Out Card

Recently I shared a Mini Slimline Pull Out Card (tutorial coming later this week) but I also wanted to try it in a 5 x 7" size. This is the card I came up with!

Using some older patterned paper that included these vintage cut aparts, along with Rainbow Holographic card stock I was happy with the card and left it on my craft room desk. When I went in the next day though, I decided it needed something more and pulled out my bin of butterflies. 

These are from Pinkfresh Studios ... last year I purchased the layering stencils, die and stamp for these butterflies, and made a BUNCH of them in several different colorways. The finished butterflies were added to a plastic bin and I love being able to go through it and chose 'already done' butterflies to add to my projects. 

When you pull the inner card to the right, the sentiment (Karen Burniston) is revealed.

I haven't done a tutorial for this size, but below are the measurements I used.

Card base:  10 x 7", scored at 5" for a 5 x 7" card.

Inner card:  9 x 6.5", scored at 4.5 and 6.75".

I used Karen Burniston's Labels & Rectangles Crosshatch dies to cut the frame and aperture (window) in my card front and my large die cutting machine. You could also opt to cut your 5 x 7" card base in two panels. The front panel at 5.5 x 7", score down the left edge at 1/2". That panel would fit through most popular die cutting machines so you can cut your aperture from that.

Then cut your back panel at 5 x 7". Adhere the two together (after you cut your window) using that 1/2" edge on the front panel and wrapping it around to the back of the back panel.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.
