Barn and Landscape 5X5 Card

 
Strata of landscape layer upward on slightly offset 

card front with partial sun cut out shape inserted 

into cutout of sky layer. Center and attach assembled design 

onto folded card front, then assemble barn and 

attach to landscape front. 

Barn silhouette is used as base to build 

gambrel section base, upper front, roof line, pigeon hole. 

Windows show through from contrast underlay. 

Top-fold card measures approx. 5”x5” 

when fully assembled and folded. 

Coordinated envelope also available 

“Env Moonscape Flap” as a separate design. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A card base

B-F  landscape strata

G sun inset

H barn "windows" show-thru contrast 

I main barn base   J gambrel base

K gambrel upper   

L gambrel roof trim & pigeon hole rim

NOT SHOWN: contrast side roof

2. Insert sun shape into the opening of the "sky" horizon

shape, then turn work over to affix in place with

a piece of cello tape.

3. Position each successive landscape stratum over

sky base square shape, align side and bottom edges,

and attach in place.

NOTE: If you wish to reduce bulk of the multiple layers,

position and attach stratum overlay only approx. 1/4" - 1/2"

below wavy cut edge to preceding layer, then when seam

is secure, trim away the "hidden" underneath layer,

leaving the seam allowance of approx. 1/4" - 1/2".

4. Identify the barn assembly shapes, then . . .

. . . layer and join the left unit (contrast underlay,

main barn shape, roof shape) and the right unit

(gambrel base, gambrel upper, roof trim).

5. Position and attach left and right units, then

inset the pigeon hole rim and attach in place.

Immediately press assembly under a heavy flat weight

and leave in place until (liquid) adhesive is completely

set and dry, to help minimize warping or curling.

6. Prepare the card base by bending back along

the perforation line (mountain fold). Center the

strata assembly over the front panel with even narrow

margin all around, and attach in place.

7. Position and attach the barn unit as shown

to finish the card. (Press under weight until dry

if using liquid adhesive.)
