Stampin' Up!- Sending Hearts January Paper Pumpkin Alternative

I made this fun fold card that has a center latch.

 

I made another center latch card with a butterfly on it.

You can CLICK HERE TO SEE IT!

The center latch piece just slides upward.

 Here is a photo of the card opened up.

Check out the latch part.

For the patterns I made to show you here- they are made out of Basic White card stock.

But for the actual center latch part on my card I made all 

4 squares out of  Basic Black card stock.

This is how you make the latch part.

It is 4 pieces of card stock that measure 3 1/2 x 3 1/2" each. 

Two of them you score at 1 3/4" & fold in half.

Those 2 folded pieces become the sandwich (center) of the latch.

You then put a front & a back piece on them.

This is how you fold the 2 that go in the center.

They fold are back to back.

This is a close up photo of the center latch.
