Fortune Cookies

 

Hi Crafty Friends,

Apparently yesterday (22nd January), was Chinese New Year so for my card today I decided to create a card which had a Chinese/Oriental theme.

For my card, I created a Double Gatefold Card using Creative Craft Products Double Gatefold Card die set which is available from Craft Stash. I love the look of the diamond shape that is formed when the card is closed and I thought it would work well with an Oriental theme. 

I used gold mirror cardstock for my matting layer and oriental themed papers for the background paper.

I added gold metallic pearls to the diamond section on the front of my card.

Here is a look at my card when it is partially open.

As there isn't any room on my card when it is closed, I added the fortune cookies to the inside of my card. I thought this sentiment would work for either a New Year for Chinese New Year or a birthday which is what I ended up making my card for as I didn't have a need for the former.

The fortune cookies and sentiment are both older sets from MFT Stamps.

I added a panel to the back of the card as the place to add a birthday sentiment and also a place to write a personal message to the recipient of the card.
