You Can Create It – International: Fancy Fold Tutorial
Every month a little packet of papercraft supplies becomes the basis of our challenge with the You Can Create It – International (YCCI) team. Our mission is to turn those elements into a card, or gift packaging, or some other finished project.
The September kit included:
- half A4 sheet of Merry Merlot cardstock (10.5cm x 29.7cm)
- half A4 sheet of Rococo Rose cardstock (10.5cm x 29.7cm)
- 6″x12″ Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper
- 40cm Gathered Ribbon – Rococo Rose
Extra supplies were included in the quarterly kit but I didn’t need them this month. They included a couple of A4 sheets of Soft Suede cardstock, a copper dotted treat bag, a sheet of ‘Fluid 100′ watercolour paper and a full bottle of Stampin’ Mist stamp cleaner.
Fancy Fold Card
The cardstock pieces were long and narrow, so I immediately wanted to make some kind of interesting ‘fold’. I little experimenting with the Simply Scored board and Metric Scoring Plate resulted in this….
The two long pieces of cardstock were scored (see measurements below) and overlaid together so there are fold-out flaps on both sides.
And when it’s closed and the ribbon tied it looks like this…
Would you like to have a go at making this card?
