The focal point of this fun fold card appears to be floating off the card! I’ll show you the mechanism for making that magic happen. The card easily stands up so it can be displayed on a desk or mantel. The best part is that it folds flat for mailing!

Easily Customizable
Have fun playing around with the colors for the background, layer for the focal point and flowers!
Color Combinations
For the backgrounds, I used a tone-on-tone (same color ink on cardstock) for a more subtle look. The “Thank You” card has a more bold background. Which way do you like best?
- Card #1 Smoky Slate, Garden Green, Melon Mambo
- Card #2 Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green
- Card #3 Pool Party, Real Red, Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green
- Card #4 Soft Seafoam, Gorgeous Grape, Calypso Coral
Floating Mechanism
Glue the hinges with the folded edge towards the fold in the front of the card. Layer the panels on top to hide the mechanism.
To add the focal point to the front of the card, place adhesive on the tabs of the mechanism. Attach the focal point!
