I have a simple and sweet card for you today. The Book fold is a Fun Fold that is really easy to make. It is paired with a quick stamped image for a simply sweet card. I added a touch of humor in the sentiment as the final touch.
Here is the open view
STAMPS
There are two stamp sets on this card. The tree image is from the Delicate Forest stamp set. I love the simpleness of the tree. This image has been used previously on a sympathy card. I thought the more shadow look of the tree was perfect. And I was headed that way today. But decided that it really did not need to be a sympathy. It works for any type card. And I love stamping on the DSP. The Pebbled Path Ink does lend it to a shadow look though. I also used the small tree stamp to adorn the inside of the card. You can see that in the second photo. This type card can get by without an inside sentiment I think.
The fun sentiment is from the Saying Hey stamp set. This may be one that you have overlooked in the Annual Catalog. It includes the basic sentiments that we all want like Happy Birthday, but also some really fun ones like today’s. I believe this is a great way to tell someone you miss them.
PAPERS
These two DSP sheets are both from the Everyday Skies Designer Series Paper. This is a 6X6 pack of papers that have fabulous sky images on one side and then complimentary patterns on the opposite. Both of these are the reverse side of papers. I paired them with Pretty In Pink for the card base. This paper pack is an Online Exclusive.
The Bookfold is a simple card base. The Pretty In Pink is 11 X 4 1/4. Score it at 4 1/4 and then 5 1/2. Fold on both score lines and then add adhesive between the two. This makes the “spine” of the book. Easy Peasy!
EXTRAS
The sentiment layer is a big extra. These layering Dies are from the Mixed Labels Dies that are a Bundle in the Online Exclusives. I love the different little details around the edges. Another simple Extra is the White Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon. A little knot and it is a nice touch added to the spine. For an added bonus, this ribbon is on the Last Chance List at almost half price. And to compliment more of the White, I added a scattering of Pearls around the front layer.

Such a pretty card Jackie! I like the backside of the paper much better than the front and the way you used it is perfect.
