Welcome to my blog! I have a fun Triangle Card to show you today. I created this card with the Just Add Ink Sketch Challenge #517 in mind - Update 8/13/20 - this card received an Honorable Mention for JAI #517! The designer paper on my card is called Gilded Autumn. Every sheet in the pack has beautiful foil accents! I used Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder for the greeting and Gold Metallic Edge Ribbon to add even more shine. The basics of the triangle card are super simple. Starting with an 8-1/2" piece of cardstock, score on the short side at 4-1/4" and on the long side at 5-1/2". Now cut diagonally from corner to corner. That's all there is to it - now you have 2 card bases. The designer paper for the card front is 4" x 5-1/4", also cut diagonally from corner to corner. The sentiment (from the Country Home stamp set) is embossed in gold on Cajun Craze cardstock. The scalloped layer is Early Espresso cardstock. The ribbon is sandwiched between the two oval layers like this. I used a piece of Scotch tape to hold the ribbon in place. The Cajun Craze oval is adhered over this layer using Stampin' Dimensionals. It's important that you attach the oval to just the top flap so your card will open properly. To do this, I placed the oval on the card front (without attaching it yet) and laid a ruler along the center line of the card. Without moving the ruler, I lifted it off the card front along with the oval and flipped them over together. Using the edge of the ruler as a guide I can see exactly where to place the liquid glue so it contacts only the top flap of the card. I hope you like this card. It's a fun fold and a great way to use your favorite designer papers!

A Free Braided Card Template and a Video Tutorial Demonstration from Brandy Cox. She shows several example cards of this simple but so impressive technique
Looking for a quick birthday card fix aint always easy. Everyones wanting something unique but not everyones got the time or craft skill. Its a bit of a puzzle, getting that personal touch without spending hours or too much cash.
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.
This cool craft is a great way to visually compare different fractions – as you open and fold each page the colored space stays the same so you can easily see the equivalent nature. 5 different templates are included. Students simply color and label each page as an equivalent fraction, then follow the step-by-step tutorial to fold and glue the pages together. Also available as a FULL VIDEO tutorial on my Youtube channel! The templates are designed so that the denominator value increases with each fold e.g. thirds, sixths, ninths, twelfths. Choose from: · Monsters - Halves-Fourths-Eighths-Sixteenths (ideal for 2nd graders!) · Owls - Thirds-Sixths-Ninths-Twelfths · Cactus - Fourths-Eighths-Twelfths-Sixteenths · Flowers - Fifths-Tenths-Fifteenths-Twentieths · A set of blank circles which allows students to choose and create the fractions. Great as a hands-on fractions craft for middle-upper elementary.

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.
