Today over at Sisters in Stamping for Sunday Fun Day we are sharing fun fold cards. Homemade cards are great by themselves, but add a fun fold to the card and it takes it to a whole new level of greatness and appreciation by the receiver.
Sunday Fun Day and Fun folds only leaves us one option: FUN!
Upon first glance, this card just looks like any ordinary card. It's still nice, but you don't think fun fold, that's for sure!
Here you can see that it is more fun than first impressions gave. Not quite the traditional card after all.
Just a different angle so you can see it from the front and how it stands "open."
Laying flat with the left side open and the right side closed.
Completely open. To make this card, you start with an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock and score it at 5 1/2" along the 11" side. Then cut the cardstock into 2 (4 1/4" x 11") pieces. I then cut on a diagonal from the top to bottom on one half of each (4 1/4" x 11") piece. Attach the two rectangular parts together to form one card base making sure one triangle is on the bottom on the left side and the other triangle is on the top on the right side. You'll get a pocket type card if you don't alternate them.
Decorate however you would like. I cut the layers like I was adding normal card layers for a rectangle card and then cut those in half on the diagonal. Tip: Just pay attention to how you are cutting the diagonal if you are set on which side of the designer paper you want to use. You may cut it the wrong way. Don't ask me how I know. (Wink, wink)
