We are making cards using unusual folds this month, in a class led by Jackie. No specialist equipment except a score board will be required.
The papers used can all be obtained from the Crafty Witches - my new favourite source of papers, because they are all downloadable so can be printed out when wanted and not having to be stored in a room with less and less space! I use an Epson Ecotank printer, and it is REALLY economical, rarely needing the ink to be topped up. I have printed out 100s of pages before the ink even goes down....
Card 1 - this is an 8 x 8 base, ending up with a 6 x 6 inch card.
For convenience, I have also included a picture of the template, with an explanation of how to fold it.
Card 2 - this is made from a standard 6 x 6 inch card base, and is scored from the centre bottom edge up to the top sides, then valley and mountain folded to get this effect. I should add that I took this pic before I added the diecut flowers I used to decorate it, but I think plain is also effective - and if you used a less floral paper, it could be ideal for a boys/mans card.
Card 3 - this is a smaller card, made from a piece of card that is 11" x 6 ", and ends up fitting into a C6 envelope. Again, I have included a template of how to fold and cut this shaped card.
Enjoy!
