New Blog Post, Easy Fun Fold Card

                          Fun Fold Card

I love making simple fun folds! This fun fold idea is from Brenda Quintana, thanks Brenda!! Thanks to Sue too for the inspiration!! It was a team effort!!

Here is my design.

Directions:

Cut Basic Black Card Stock to 11" x 4  1/4", on the long score at 1  1/2", 3  1/2", 5 1/2", 7  1/2" and 9  1/2". Fold starting at one end, valley, mountain, mountain, mountain and valley. Burnish well. Glue both smaller ends together to create the fun fold. It lays flat to fit into a A2 sized envelope. 

DSP for front panels- 2@ 1  3/4" x 4" I used the gorgeous Modern Christmas Designer Series Paper. 

Basic White C/S panels-2@ 1  1/4" x 4" front and back. Stamp sentiment using Memento Black Ink. 

Die cut 1 Basic White ornament, stamp sentiment. Die cut 2 Basic Black C/S ornaments. Cut 1 black ornament in half width wise and 1 cut length wise. Glue these behind the Basic White ornament, one at a time, so that just a small bit of black is showing from the front. I like how this gives a small black border so that the ornament "pops"! Die cut ornament topper from Gold Foil. Die cut 7 Gold Foil stars to embellish card. I also added a small loop of black cording behind the ornament top using Glue Dots.

Cut a 1" x  3" piece of Basic White C/S, score it on the long at 1/2". Then using a 1" circle punch, punch out 2 circles so that the score line is in the center of the circle. Fold these 2 circles in half. Glue one circle, folded in half, on the card front at the score line with the circle opening facing out, repeat on the other side of the score line. Do not go over the score line or your card will not fold properly. *See photo. This creates your "pop-up" for the ornament. Add glue to the other part of the circle 1/2 flaps and attach the ornament.

 I hope you have enjoyed todays card!
