June 2023 - special folds cards

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!
