Here is a tutorial on how I created this card.

You will need :

6″ By 6″ White Card
The Paper Boutique Lovely Days – Coloured Card
The Paper Boutique Lovely Days – Project Pad
The Paper Boutique Lovely Days – Paper Pad
Butterfly Punch
Silver Gems
Glue / Double Sided Tape

Instructions:

Card Base

On the long side of the 6″ by 6″ card base, score at 5 cms, 10 cms and 15 cms (this is the natural card fold) and 20 cms.
Next fold the card base along the score lines.
To get the correct folds, the first score line is a mountain fold, second is a valley fold, third is a mountain fold and fourth is a valley fold.

On the first score line and the third score line, measuring down 5 cms and put a pencil mark and again at 10 cms.
Next from each of the pencil marks cut straight across from the first score line to the third score line.

This then creates the centre pull out section.
