The usual is boring.
The everyday is a yawner.
Let's take the changing season to heart and try something a little different.
I made this card in the usual way with one slight modification. Instead of opening from the side or the bottom, this card opens in two panels, slightly off-center. It's a beautiful look and one that really draws attention to your focal point.

Place the focal point accent overlapping the gap in the two flaps. Adhere the right side only so it will open up properly.
And I always put Scripture somewhere on my cards. This time I used the Ecclesiastes 3:1 verse: To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. It works perfectly with the autumn theme.

Try something out-of-the-ordinary with the next paper craft you make. You might surprise yourself!
