I made this card for a great guy in our neighborhood who is always giving us a helping hand when we need it. I used papers gifted to me by my friend Mary Anne which are car/race themed and made a different fold that I'm not even sure has a name? It's similar to a gatefold, but then the flaps are angled and folded outward again. I cut two panels for each lower side and used the reverse side of the dsp for some contrast. The medallion was created with Spellbinders circle and scalloped circle dies. Here it is closed...
And here is what it looks like opened. I used a Clear Arts Stamp set for the image and sentiment and the medallion on the front, and colored the car with Spectrum Noir markers, adding a checkered flag brad to the top panel.
I also made a matching larger coin envelope to hold lottery tickets and used some checkered ribbon to tie around the top. The birthday die was also borrowed from Mary Anne and placed on a scalloped circle die cut to match the card.
I'm entering this into the Double D Challenge which is "Pop a Wheelie" or use wheels on your card.

You are always full of very interesting ideas, my friend! Such fab card for your kind neighbour, I have never seen this folding! The design is stunning, and you made the envelope, too!! The paper is just perfect to compliment the car theme! It's a great masculine card, I'm sure that he will love it!
Hugs, have a lovely weekend!
Never seen this shape before either but it lends it self perfectly to the papers and image you have used. Hugs Mrs A.
That's an amazing production, Carol! The papers are so fun and between that cool card and the matching lottery ticket envelope, you will make your helpful friend feel very special!! Hugs, Darnell
This is so clever and full of wonderful car themed papers, stamps and embellishments. Love the coin envelope, makes such a impact with the matching card x
Wow! Great card for the guys, car enthusiasts and race fans. I love all the details and that is a fabulous fold you did for it.
If that fold doesn't have an official name, then maybe we should start calling it "The Carol Fold." :)
Hope you're having a nice weekend!
A super card and envelope Carol, great papers and a fabulous fold.

What a fun and interesting fold?! It goes perfectly with the theme/paper you choose. He is sure to love it! Stay dry!
This looks quite a complicated fold. And how well it turned out too. Love the car & racing theme and you had the absolute perfect papers and images to make this one work beautifully. Loved the classic 'chebby' inside with the flags. I bet this guy was just tickled to pieces with this splendid card, and how clever to use the tire shape to close it! Great that you have friends with stash!!! TFS & Happy Sunday. Hugs
Great fold Carol, love the design for the guy...xx
