With the baby theme in mind, I created another baby card. This card is a "Welcome Home" card for Bridget.
Not sure what this "fancy fold" card is called but I just loved the design.
When you open the card, this is the inside.
The baby dress has been paper pieced.
This fancy fold is easy to do.
This fancy fold is easy to do.
- Begin with an 8 inch square piece of card stock.
- Score @ 2 inched on all four of the sides.
- Cut off the little squares in each of the corners.You can see this in picture 2.
- Refold on the score lines to make sure that the edges fit correctly.
- Decorate with DP on each outside flap. I chose to use 2 different DP. However, you could use only one paper, if you chose.
- Practice closing the card like you would close the flaps on a box that had been opened.
- Have fun decorating the inside of the card .
Did you ever wonder who thought up all the unusual fancy folds for cards? ...just a thought!
Materials Used:
Card stock: Close to my Heart
Images: My Grafico
DP, Stickers, and cut outs: K&Company-Brenda Walton
Baker's Twine
