I love a card with a little glimmer, glam and and a fun way to fold..this card has all that. The flap can face any direction you wish; it’s all how you fold it! I made this card for the holidays, but you can use this fold for any type of card you want. It’s so easy! I love an easy fold with a wow factor!
I created this card two different ways. The first photo show this card created using Garden Green for my card base, Basic White Cardstock, Season’s of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper, and Regal Distressed DSP. For the stems, I die cut from the Graceful Greenery Vellum DSP…I love that the Golden Greenery Dies cut many of the images from the DSP! I also stamped the bells from the Golden Greenery Stamp Set using Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie Ink. The sentiments from the Greetings of the Season Bundle.
The third photo is a variation. I die cut the greenery from the Season’s of Green & Gold Specialty DSP and also cut Shaded Spruce stems from the Golden Greenery Dies. Both cards have Gold Foil Sheets under the layers. I also used the Wild Wheat ribbon and Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins. I love how these cards came out!!
CUTTING/SCORING
BASE: 8 1/2″x11″ With the long side at the top of your cutter, score at 5 1/2″. Then turn your paper so the short side is at the top and score at 4 1/4″ from the 5 1/2″ score line to the bottom. After that, place your paper at the 5″ mark and cut down to the 5 1/2″ score line and then lastly, cut 3/4″ from the right edge down to the 5 1/2″ score line. (*see template below)
FLAP: (Gold Foil Sheets) 2 1/2″x5 1/4″; (Regal Distressed Patterns DSP) 2 3/8″x 5 1/8″
FRONT LAYER: (Gold Foil Sheets) 4″x5 1/4″; (DSP) 3 7/8″x5 1/8″
INSIDE LAYER: (Very Vanilla) 4″x5 1/4″; (Garden Green) 1″x4″; (DSP) 3/4″x4″
For this card, I turned it so the flap opens to the right. I used Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, Gold Foil Sheets, Basic White Cardstock, Regal Distressed Patterns DSP and Season’s of Elegance DSP. I also used White Frayed Grosgrain Ribbon and Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins. I stamped and die cut images from the Peaceful Season Bundle.
Oh man this photo is blurry! My apologies!! I created this card for my friend. She just moved across country into a new home. The base is Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler and Basic White cardstock. I used the Humble Home stamps and punch to create the home. I also used the tree, grass and cloud stamps from the Trucking Along stamp set. The Welcome Home piece is stamped in Cherry Cobbler and die cut using Nested Essentials dies. For the DSP, I used a piece from the Nests of Winter DSP. I can’t wait to send it to her!
I know you’ll love making this fold. It’s so very versatile that you can use it again and again for all types of cards!
Happy Crafting!
