Hello everyone, I’m back again with another fun fold with these two fun sets that I’m showcasing at the moment; the vibrant Merry Bold and Bright DSP teamed with the whimsical Festive & Fun stamp set.
This fold really grabbed my attention as it starts in one orientation and then twists as it is opened into the opposite direction 😱. How cool is this! I did intend to use a ribbon closure on the card like the examples I show on the video at the beginning but how many themes do we start with one idea and then it evolves. As I left out the ribbon, I experimented with a latch fold closure using the circle dies. Actually, as I say, you can leave out the closure as once the card has been made and flattened, it will stay closed. If you do want to add ribbon, make sure you watch the video first as I tell you when to add it.
The card is not difficult but you do need to cut, score and fold exactly. I show you how to get the scoring right. Note that I opted to use non-directional paper but I also show you cards with directional papers from the Online exclusive One Horse Open Sleigh DSP. Big Tip! check the direction of the papers and the inside writing card at least 3 times before adhering! Ask me how I know 😂 You can make this portrait or andscape but you need to decide before adhering DSP!
Card Recipe:
Base - I sheet A4 card trimmed to 10 1/4 ", score at 5 1/2" the cut in half lengthwise. Turn one upside down as in video with long parts overlapping. Measure 4 1/8 " from bottom right and score diagonally to top corner, then do same but with top left of left card and score down to bottom left.
(metric 10.5 x 26 cms. measure and score at 10.5 cms)
DSP - centre panel 4" x 4" (10 x 10 cms) Check direction you want your card to open and cut diagonally. adhere right to the diagonal edge.
side strips 2@4" x 1/2" (10 x 1.3cms)
Basic white for inside 4" x 5 1/4" (10.5 x 13.5cms)
narrow strip DSP if desired - as front strips
ribbon for tie-closure or make latch-fold as video with partial die-cutting of smaller circle, leaving strip to slip under larger circle. trim to length.
My moose was coloured to co-ordinate with the DSP - see colours below
