Kate's back with another fun fold card design. She is calling this one the Buckle Fold card template.
Witam, dzisiaj chciałam zachęcić do wykonania prostej kartki świątecznej wykorzystując technikę iris folding. Na początku trzeba zaopatrzyć się we wzór/diagram, według którego będziemy składać. Poniższy, znalazłam w sieci i jest dostosowany dla osób początkujących, jak i zaawansowanych w tej technice. Diagram można sobie wydrukować dopasowując wielkość kół do własnych potrzeb. Na moją kartkę zmniejszyłam przed wydrukowaniem koła do średnicy 8 cm. Kolejny krok to przygotowanie szablonu, który posłuży do wycięcia koła na papierze ozdobnym. Ja najczęściej przygotowuję szablony z szarego kartonu, wykorzystując tył z bloku technicznego lub rysunkowego. Skoro mój wydrukowany diagram ma koło średnicy 8 cm to szablon musi mieć dokładnie tyle samo. Odrysowujemy koło na kartoniku ozdobnym, umieszczając szablon na jego środku Teraz wbijając nożyczki w środek koła powoli wycinany od środka. Następnie nakładamy wycięty kartonik na dowolny wzór (ja wybrałam ten łatwiejszy). W dwóch miejscach przyklejamy małymi kawałkami taśmy papierowej do szablonu, tak by koło nam nie 'uciekało' podczas pracy. Ważne! Należy zwrócić uwagę by nasza strona gdzie widać ślady ołówka była skierowana do góry. W tej technice pracujemy na lewej stronie, prawa (ta ładniejsza) ma być skierowana w dół! Do wyklejania wzoru możemy użyć pasków z dowolnych papierów, pozostałości po innym pracach. W mojej kartce użyłam tylko dwóch kolorów, które będą na przemian naklejane. Dla ułatwienia ułożyłam sobie w takiej kolejności kolorystycznie jak będą naklejane paski. Teraz przystępujemy do pracy. Paski naklejamy w kolejności numerów od 1 do 16, pamiętając by zachować kolejność kolorów. U mnie wygląda to tak: nieparzyste numery kolor pierwszy parzyste numery kolor drugi Paski można mocować małymi kawałkami taśmy przeźroczystej lub klejem. Pamiętamy, że kleimy po bokach pasków. Pasek za długi trzeba dopasować i przyciąć z jednej strony po naklejeniu paska na numer 1, przystępujemy do naklejenia na numer 2 itd. staramy się wycinać nie za szerokie paski na koniec doklejamy kwadracik w dowolnym kolorze po odklejeniu taśmy papierowej odwracamy i zachwycamy się naszą pracą :) Prawda, że łatwe! Teraz odcinamy wystające kawałki pasków spod kartonika. A następnie przystępujemy do ozdabiania naszej kartki. Można całą bombkę przygotować z jednego papieru: lub zmniejszając szablon, użyć naszej irisowej bombki jako dodatek do pewnej kompozycji Możliwości jest tyle ile macie pomysłów. Mam nadzieję, że w prosty sposób pokazałam/wytłumaczyłam jak wykorzystać technikę iris folding. Jeśli macie jakieś uwagi, zapytania chętnie odpowiem. Może przez weekend uda Wam się przygotować pracę z wykorzystaniem tej techniki, pochwalcie się - zostawiając linka do Waszych prac w komentarzu. Chętnie zobaczymy. Użyte materiały:

SPRINGY THINGY CARD TUTORIAL It's time for me to share my weekly Tuesday tip or technique. This tutorial fell out of my tips/techniques book as I moved it last night and so got chosen for today's effort. It makes a card front that the receiver pulls open and the card opens out like a spring to see an inner 20cm square area. Images of a completed card using this technique are below these instructions. Practice this on some scrap paper first. MATERIALS 20cm square piece of card stock or decorative paper of your choice. Pre colour the card if you wish. I'll use white card stock so you can clearly see what to do. Pencil, rubber, ruler, craft knife, craft mat and bone scorer. HOW TOO 1) On all sides measure and make a light pencil dot at the 5cm, 10cm and 15cm mark. On my sample I will use a black marker so you can see what I did easily. 2) From the 5cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark 3) From the 10cm mark at the left and right side measure in and mark a dot in at the 5cm mark from each side 4) From the 15cm mark at the left and right side measure and mark a dot at the 10cm mark. These dots make a large diamond. 5) Score between all these dots. In my image I have drawn dashes to show you were to score 6) At the top 15cm mark score down to the right side of the diamond. At the 15cm mark at right edge, score across to the bottom of the diamond. At the 5cm mark on the bottom edge, score up to the left side of the diamond. Lastly at the 5cm mark at the left edge, score across to the top of the diamond. See dashed marks I have marked for you on my sample. All these score lines will be mountain folds. That is you bend the scored line back on itself to make a mountain. 7) At the 10cm mark on all sides score into the points on the diamond. See dashed areas on my sample. These scored lines and the scored lines for the diamond are all valley folds. That is you bend the scored line in on itself to make a little valley. Here is my sample with all the scored lines bent to their respective mountain and valley folds. 8) Now all you do is gently fold the card in on itself. Start on one side and then work your way around. If you have all the scored correct lines and folds it sort of winds in like a spring. It should look like this at the front and this at the back. Rub off all marked pencil dots. After I made my sample above for you I painted the card stock with white gesso, sprayed it with various sprays. Stamped and added embellishments to turn it into a steam punk card. I then layered and stuck it to a base card. As mine is fairly embellished it doesn't fold completely flat.

In my previous post, I reviewed Paper Folding Templates, by Trish Witkowski (Apple Press, 2012). The author expressed the desire for the templates to be used as "a springboard for creativity". Today's blogpost projects are based upon a couple of the wow-factor designs in the book. First up, a couple of Fold 'n' Twist Cards, based upon the Twist Fold card on page 151: The design is true to the template, whose design lines are similar to these: I simply dropped a design into the format. (The circle of text in the centre says "Happy Spring!", in case you were wondering.) After that straightforward use of the format, I decided to experiment and turn the idea into a flower shape: With inner petals No inner petals These cards are big fun in that they have a TARDIS-like effect - bigger on the inside (once they have been opened). Like so: To open, pull petals in opposite directions. Remove the seal first! Tah dah! The text reads " Birthday Wishes". Since I was pursuing a Springtime/flower theme, I then followed up with a hexagonal design. The book featured a folded card with a configuration similar to the Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt pattern: I played around with it, edited it down and tried different folding methods to come up with these: The basic pattern is like this: I have always been partial to swirls! Pinch the corners to make the triangles, fold them flat to the centre, spiralling them round. So there you go - start with a template, then experiment. Here are your downloadable printables (my original designs, not using the templates from the book, but using the ideas in the book as a starting point): TwistFoldSpring.pdf TwistFoldBirthdayFlowerPetal.pdf TwistFoldBirthdayFlower.pdf FoldingFlowerGetWell.pdf FoldingFlowerThinkingofYou.pdf Have fun making your surprise-factor cards. And enjoy experimenting with folded shapes.

For a long time now, I have both admired and felt intimidated by this fabulous card fold. I'm ashamed to admit that until very recently I've never even investigated the mechanics behind how it works simply because it appeared so complicated. I finally decided the time had arrived to step outside my comfort zone and give this fold a go... Now I'm almost embarrassed to share this tutorial with you. The card base is formed from just four pieces of card stock joined together in the corners, and eight score lines. I admit that I was gobsmacked when I realised how simple and easy it was to make. Lesson learned. 1. Start with four pieces of card stock, each measuring 3" x 6". It's important to have nice straight lines and accurate measurements so the card can move freely. 2. Lay a piece of card stock horizontally on your score board and score at 11/2" and again at 41/2". Repeat for the other three pieces of card stock. Fold back and forth along the score lines. 3. OPTIONAL: ink the edges of the card stock, including the folds, for a vintage look. 4. Lay two piece of card stock vertically on the desk in front of you with the score lines running horizontally. 5. We're going to place adhesive in each of the four corners, 11/2" from the centre of each piece. I've marked the location of the adhesive in the photos below. Make sure you only apply it to the outer section or your card will not operate properly. 6. Add glue or double sided tape to the first corner. I found it easier to work on one section at a time. Make sure your glue or tape is strong enough to withstand a lot of handling... people are going to play with this card! 7. Secure a piece of card stock horizontally across the top of the two pieces that are on your desk. Keep the edges flush and the score lines all lined up. Refer to the photos for correct placement. 8. Repeat the process in the bottom corner. 9. Now we're going to adhere the other two corners, remembering to keep all the score lines and edges lined up nicely. 10. Believe it or not, that's all it takes to complete the card base. Once the glue is dry, you can have a little play with your card. 11. Now to decorate. I must admit that I found this more difficult that the actual card itself... mostly because of how many different spaces there were to fill. If you want to decorate your card the same way I did, you'll need four image panels - two measuring 23/4" x 53/4" and two measuring 53/4" x 23/4" (two vertical and two horizontal). You'll also need eight pieces of patterned paper measuring 11/4" x 23/4" and eight pieces of patterned paper measuring 11/4" x 11/4". 12. I wanted my card to look kind of like a puzzle, so I chose to cut each of the image panels in half so that they split and come together as the card is viewed. If you don't like the idea of cutting your four large image panels, you could opt to have eight individual panels instead. 13. Start with the image that you'd like to appear on the front of the card. Remember, the orientation of the card doesn't matter - you could just as easily start with a horizontal image by turning the card 90 degrees. 14. Use glue or double sided tape to adhere the elements to the front of the card. Avoid bulky embellishments that will hinder the operation of the card and definitely avoid placing anything over any of the edges. 15. Flip the card open to the next area for decoration. Be careful not to turn the card while you're decorating - you don't want to end up with images or sentiments that are upside down! 16. When you come to this section, be aware that the middle pieces will actually cover a whole image panel rather than some of the small pieces of patterned paper. Refer to the photos below. 17. Complete the card with the remaining patterned paper and image panels. I absolutely love this card! Even though I know the mechanism is simple, it's still incredibly satisfying to play with. My 13 year old son thought I had performed some sort of magic when he saw it... in fact, he enjoyed it so much that he appropriated the sample version! Products:
