Welcome back to the bi-weekly Cardz 4 Galz # 242! Our host, __, chose Anything But a Square for the theme. When you finish here, please visit the challenge site to see what the rest of the very talented design team members created. Then, don’t forget to upload your creations to our gallery. We look forward to seeing your creations there!
Here’s my card:
Since this is a fun fold, I will be entering it in the Creative Creases Challenge gallery.
I’ve made so many of these cards, and you can find some of them here, here, and here. The 6 x 6 DSP (designer series paper) is just made for this fun fold.. Start with the 6 x 6 inch DSP, trim off 1/4 inch from the top, or bottom. Then, trim the the DSP down to two 3 by 5-1/4 inches.
I have no earthly idea why I didn’t save the tutorial video for this card, but I have searched my Pinterest and saved video tutorials on YouTube for more than 30 minutes and can’t find it. If you recognize the fold, please let me know so I can give credit to the original designer. I will be using this fold for many 6 x 6 inch DSP pages! The paper absolutely does all the work here!
Here are some pictures of the template I’ve made for this fun fold card:
- The two DSP pieces measure 5-1/4 by 3 inches
- The Crushed Curry mats each measure 5-3/8 by 3-1/8 inches
- After running a piece of Crushed Curry through the Cut & Emboss machine an embossing folder, I trimmed it to 1-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the strip next to the front DSP
- I trimmed a piece of DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
- Then, i punched a 1-inch circle out of coordinating DSP and ran it through the XYRON create-a-sticker to create the envelope seal
