This fun fold is all about flexibility. She’s curvy and beautiful and oh so flexible and fun. Follow along with me and create this fun card. Just a few simple steps and endless possibilities….isn’t that why we love creating cards!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Base: cut cardstock to 4 1/4″x5 1/2″ (aka a quarter sheet of cardstock); DSP layer for base cut at 4″x5 1/4″. Use liquid glue to attach DSP to the center of the cardstock. Once the glue is set, score the back side in half (2 3/4″) and fold in a valley with the DSP facing you.
Bendy Bottom Strip: Cut coordinating DSP 6″x1″; score 1/4″ on each end. Fold and burnish scored ends.
Center Panel: Cut Basic White cardstock at 5″x3 1/4″. Score the edges at 1/2″ on each side and burnish with the bone folder. Do you stamping and coloring. Once decorating is complete, score the back in half at 2 1/2″ and fold into a mountain fold.
Assembly: Lay the Base flat. Making sure the 1/2″ edges of the Center Panel are folded under, add glue to the scored edges and while lining up all the center score lines, adhere the Center Panel to the Base. Apply liquid glue to the scored ends of the Bendy Bottom Strip and adhere them to the edges of the card Base. It should line up perfectly end to end. Add any pieces to the Bendy Bottom Strip, if desired.
Give you masterpiece a minute to dry and set and you’re all ready to pop it open so all it’s bendiness is on perfect display!
Need some more inspiration. Look no more….this card created with the Zany Zoo Bundle is so adorable. I used Blueberry Bushel cardstock and Glorious Gingham DSP this time. Then stamped two kitties on the center panel and one on scrap paper for the center. I colored them in with Alcohol Markers to pull the colors together. Then I simply used the coordinating dies to cut out the kitty for the center, some curtains and little flowers to decorate the curtains. I popped a few dimensionals on the center of the kittle and adhered her to the center seam of the panel so she could be the star of the show. Of course, there is plenty of sparkle on their ballerina shirts with the Clear Wink of Stella. Now the tough part…who will get this card!!!
