Many of you commented that you would like the measurement for a card that I showcased on my most recent Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop post. At the time I had not yet re-designed the card for our usual 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" format. The card which I presented for the hop was very oversized and, unless you make your own envelopes or wish to use a 5" x 7" envelope, the card simply was too large. And so, over the weekend, I fiddled around with the original measurements used by the originator of the design, Desire Fourie. Happily, the smaller design still packs the same "WOW" factor and so, today, I will share the measurements and the template. My main colours for this card are Smoky Slate, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White, Blushing Bride and Wild Wasabi. There are also traces of other colours due to the colourful design I used from the Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper. The base, in whatever colour you choose, will be the "normal" 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" cardstock scored down the centre at 4 1/4". For the front whatever you choose to do does not affect the remainder of the design of the card. You probably want to think of a theme. For the inside, which is what the whole template and instructions are all about, cut a piece of cardstock to 8 1/4" x 5 1/4". Score at 4 1/8". Next, follow the template which I show below: This template should be a large enough file to print out. The remaining images in this post are reduced files. To recap, along the long side, cut 7/8" from the edge from 7/8" until 7 3/8" on each side. Then, along the short side, down the centre. Each line is a score-line as follows: 7/8", 1 5/8", 4 1/8", 6 5/8", 7 3/8". Do not extend the score-lines into the skinny areas above and below the cut-line. Along the skinny piece above and below that centre, score as follows: 2 5/8", 4 1/8", 5 5/8". Yes, there are a lot of measurements in the eighths, but in order to make the design work in the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card format, it was necessary. The template also shows you the mountains and valleys that you will fold. Once you've decorated the inside piece to your satisfaction, you can adhere it to the base card. This photo will show you where to put the glue/snail/tape (your choice) in order to make the design work: It's a bit fussy but the reaction of the recipient is well worth it. Have fun! The front of my card. The inside of my card. I've decided to enter my special fold card into the SUO Challenge since they are asking for fun fold cards.

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.

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. This is m Springy Thingy Card open Some close ups of the folded card part. Hugs Annette In Oz
Hi Everyone, Hussena here to share with you a tutorial on how to make a flip-card using your dies and Big Shot..It's a really very easy way to make some fast and interactive cards to get the 'WOW' factor from your friends and family..So first let's gather our supplies and you all will need the following to make these cards below. Supplies needed for the tutorial :- Big Shot Machine Spellbinder's Nestabilities Label 4 Martha Stewart Scoring Board Fiskars Sure Cut paper Trimmer Cardstocks Pattern paper of your choice ( I have used the Prima Zephyr Paper Pad.) Distress inks(Totally optional) And now for the tutorial :- I have written the steps in the pictures itself..I hope this makes it easier for you all to understand it. Step 1- Take a piece of cardstock measuring 7 1/2 inches by 4 1/4 inches. Step 2 - Fold it in a zig-zag pattern. Step 3 - Your card should look like this now. Step 4 - Now measure,cut and glue your pattern paper on to the front of your card. Step 5 -Now place your die on the smaller side of the card with it's centre point aligning with the 2 3/4 inch scored line and stick it with either a Washi Tape or any repositionable glue. Step 6 -Now make your cutting sandwich for this you can refer our DT member Mallika's post on how to create a cutting sandwich for your dies...Place your acrylic plate only up to the 2 3/4 inch score line and run it through your Big Shot..This will allow you to only partially die-cut one end of your card which is required for the flipping mechanism. Step 7 -Now that you have cut one end ...Turn your card around and place your acrylic plate on the 3 3/4 inch score line and again partially die-cut it...Please take care to place your acrylic plates to the the required scored line...otherwise you will end up cutting up the entire piece. Step 8 -After you have die-cut both the ends,your card will look like this below....Now, peel off the pattern paper from the die-cut ends...Don't worry if you mess up a bit..This will later on get covered up. Step 9 -Now using the same label die, die-cut two pieces of cardstock....One plain and other colored....The plain one will be attached to the back side where as the colored one will be in the front of your card. Step 10 -Attach the white cardstock on the front side and when you flip your card this will go on the back. Step 11- Attach the colored cardstock on the back side as shown. Step 12 -Once both the die-cuts are attached, this is how your card will look. Step 13 -As you can see,when the card is opened, the white die-cut piece comes in the front where you can write your message. Step 14 -Once the card is closed, this is how it will look. Step 15 -Here are my sample cards before I have embellished them. Supplies used for embellishing :- Lawn Fawn Blissful Botanicals and Flutter By. Prima Zephyr paper Pad , Best of K & Company Papers. Distress ink : Tumbled Glass., Versafine Onyx Black Ink. Martha Stewart Doily Lace Punch Marianne Embossing Folder- Daisies.
