Polkadoodles Digi Choosday Project | Triple Panel Wraparound Card with Belly Band

Hi everyone!

For this week’s Digi Choosday, our DT prompt was wraparound, and I had so much fun creating a pretty Triple Panel Card with a Belly Band 💐

First off… let me gush a little about the Polkadoodles Floral Meadow collection. It is so pretty! The pattern papers are full of soft florals, and everything coordinates beautifully—from the ephemera to the sentiments. Honestly, it’s a must-have in your stash! Even my husband was impressed—he actually stopped, picked up the floral paper, and examined it closely 😂 That says a lot!

So yes… take my word for it—go grab Floral Meadow. You’ll thank me later!

Materials Used:

• Plain colored cardstock

Instructions:

1. Trim your plain cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5. This will be your card base

2. Trim a plain cardstock to 11 x 1 1/4. This will be your belly band.

3. Score your belly band at 4 and 8 3/8.

4. Trim your back-to-back pattern paper to 12 x 5.25.

5. Score your pattern paper at 2, 5, and 8, then fold along the score lines.

6. Adhere the pattern paper to your card base.

7. Trim your white cardstock to 2 pieces at 2.75 x 5.25 and 1 piece at 1.75 x 5.25.

8. Adhere the white cardstock to the inside panels (first, third, and fourth panels). Adhere the ephemera to the panels with white cardstock.

9. Fold and glue your belly band. Make sure to wrap it around the card before adhering so it’s not too tight - leave just a bit of wiggle room. Add ephemera to your belly band.

Add your sentiment. I cut mine from the Floral Meadow collection using my Cricut Maker and adhered it using transfer tape.

And that’s it! Such a fun, pretty and somewhat interactive card, and the wraparound element really makes it extra special.

I hope this inspires you to create your own version - and of course, to finally grab that Floral Meadow collection if you haven’t yet!
