Guys, I had a ton of fun playing with this (new to me) fun fold design that I recently CASE’d from Kylie Bertucci. I saw this on her You Tube channel and knew I had to try it and have some fun using up some of stacks of extra designer paper that I have on hand.
This fold is so easy and you’re going to have so much fun using up that 12 x 12″ DSP that we all love to hoard. I am on a bit of a mission to use some of the DSP that I already have (need to make some room, ya know?). This card uses just under a half sheet of 12 x 12 DSP and I love that we can let all the beautiful papers do the work for us with minimal stamping. So you can get two cards from one sheet with a little strip of extra that you can use for decorating the envelope.
There is a link below to my video, but here are some photos of the designs that I have been playing with so far. I also have a new card concept sheet available for download – just click HERE.
Here are the quick and dirty instructions for this card, but please do take a minute to watch the video…and you will see just how easy this card is to make.
Card base: 5.5″ x 4.25″
DSP: 12″ x 5.25″ / scored at 2″, 5″ and 8″
Fold the scored DSP accordion style and glue down to the card base.
Cut or use a die that measures approx 2.5″ x. 4″ – you will need two pieces of these.
Using a stamp set of your choice, decorate the front of this 2.5″ x 4″ panel and adhere it to the front flap of the DSP.
Use the second 2.5″ x 4″ panel and glue this down to the inside of the card, ensuring that it aligns with the front panel – so they line up seamlessly.
That’s all there is to it folks! Add a decorated envelope and you can crank out a bunch of these in no time. So, go dig out all that 12 x 12 designer paper that you have you stashed away and use it up! Your cards are waiting! :). I hope that I have been able to offer some inspiration with these other card samples. I would love to see what you can do with this design!
Here’s a link to my video if you’re interested. Most of the supplies you see in the cards above are available in my online store. I’d love to help you with any questions you might have – just leave a comment of email me directly at [email protected].
Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great week!
