Creative Creases

Good Morning everyone

Im honoured today to be guest designer over at Creative Creases which is a fabulous challenge that celebrates fancy folds

Ive gone with a new to me fold, no idea what its called as I found one picture on pinterest but it wasn't linked to the original poster and no end of searching I couldn't find the original to credit them...If it was you thankyou😀 

 I tweaked it to easily fit on A4 card.  Its a lovely way to use up some of an old patterned paper pad which went perfectly with my little lemon girl aall&create stamp to make a fun summery card to brighten a grey wintry day🍋

This shows the front of the card and it opened out inside.  For want of a name Im calling it the triangle pop out for now!

Approx size closed is 3.5x5"  After making my card from white card I matted a lemon paper onto green paper and added to the front.  I used a strip of the same paper used inside and added across the front, a die cut white oval and then my lemon girl which id stamped and watercoloured with distress inks.  I added her on a wobbler for extra fun.  Stamped the easy peasy lemon squeezy from another stamp set onto white and cut out.  Glitter glue highlights and yellow enamel dots to finish the front.  

The inside, I used more papers from the same pad and matted onto green.  I add a white oval to the right side to write the greeting on and a stamped sentiment to the right which reads 'wishing you a day full of happiness' which i die cut into a circle and matted onto a larger inverted scalloped circle die cut from yellow to give the effect of the sun

Its def been the year of the wobbler for me, but they add such a fun element and ideal with a fun character too....plus its a pack of 50 so plenty to use! 

and showing the outside & back of the card, i used the same papers on the back as the front.  This is a good fold that stands up nicely for display purposes too - nicely balanced.  The hardest bit i found was cutting the mats and layers for the triangular folds which are far from perfect and is why i decided not to decorate the back folds as well🤣

 

Instructions for the fold

Cut a piece of A4 card to 12.5cm ( 5.5") wide.  So to limit measuring etc for those of us who use A4 in the UK which is an odd length I found it easier to first score the A4 in half using my score board A5 line, then from that centre score line mark 3cm either side and 6cm out either side.  Then score on the diagonal the 3cm marks out from the centre - fold these as mountain folds.  Score & fold the 6cm out from centre marks as valley folds.  The centre fold is also a valley.  Hope that makes sense. 

If not using A4 cut your card to 28cm long and mark at 8cm, 11,14,17 & 20cm and fold the lines as above.
