Welcome
Thank you for once again visiting my blog
This card was made for a Brother in Law who once served in the navy, so it has a bit of a marine theme to it...
At least the papers I used did :) They are from an old KaiserCraft pad.
The card concept came from a video by Natasha Foote, here. Thanks for the inspiration, Natasha.

The card fold is a basic gatefold, but with three alternating tags/flags adhered on the top.
The sunlight makes it look as though I had two different papers on the outside panels, but I can assure you they were the same!!

I kept the paper on the centre tag plain, and added the sentiment onto that, and three blue embossed brads down one end. The sentiment is one from a freebie sheet from Natasha Foote Creative

The top and bottom tags I used pattern paper on, and added a strip off another paper through the centre, then added white dots with a gel pen for added accents

The side panels inside had patterned papers added, and the central panel was left free for writing on, apart from the washi tape, that I also added to the envelope.

Maxine, this is a great guy card - the unique fold is fun!
Maxine, this is such a great card! I love the marine look and feel to the card, and the way it opens is really cool! I saved the video so I can make this design later. I subscribed to her too. I love the colors you've chosen, and the brads are really nice too. I love how you decorated the inside of the card as well. Your brother-in-law will love this for sure. Thanks so much for playing along with us at Word Art Wednesday! :)
Fun card design, Maxine. Great masculine colors!
What a great masculine card. Love the way you have used those flags. They add interest to the simple monochrome design xx
Great card Maxine. Looks amazing.
Such a clever design and card, love the naval theme, clever you. x
I love that you made this unique with an naval slant. The take on naval signal pendants is neat. Nice job. Loving it.
Hugs and Blessings
A wonderful masculine card Maxine. You always do such a great job of the masculine ones yet I feel that they would be quite hard to do & think of all the different ideas.
Wishing you a great weekend Maxine, still cold over here & those winds have been dreadful. xx
Thank you for joining The Male Room blog challenge. I like how you did the banners.
Beautiful, masculine and creative.
A great, masculine card – and a fantastic card format! I love this double-gatefold card decorated with pennants. Wonderful paper – it instantly evokes a maritime flair! I also particularly like the white dots in the center of the wheels.
Thank you so much for entering this fantastic card into the current “Everybody Art Challenge”!

This is a fantastic masculine card! Masculine cards are not the easiest to make but you really pulled it off! The banners are such a cool element!
