The paper I used in this card is old, old, old. But it worked up into a cool-looking card.
I know the positioning of the card in the photo is sort of strange, but I didn't know how to set it up so I could demonstrate how it opens. Underneath the flap is a white section on which to write a message.
SUPPLIES:
Patterned Paper
Cardstock to match the Patterned Paper
White Cardstock
Ink to coordinate with Patterned Paper

INSTRUCTIONS:
Select a Patterned Paper and cut three pieces: two at 1" x 4" and one at 3" x 3 3/4".

Attach this, with the fold at the top, to the center of the card "base".
Cut a piece of white cardstock to 3" x 3 3/4". Adhere this to the inside of this mini card.
Add the larger piece of Patterned Paper to the center of this mini card.
In coordinating ink, stamp your sentiment on White Cardstoxk. Die cut it with a Deckled Edge Rectangle die that fits.

With Dimensionals, add the sentiment and ribbon to the card.
Add a few silvery pearls around the sentiment.
