Fancy Fold Card Tutorial

Supplies

Card stock (2 Colours plus 1 neutral)

Jumbo Roller (All About Birthdays Included in All About Occasions Hostess Bundle)

Adhesive

Two Way Glue Pen

Micro beads

In the Spotlight (New hostess Stamp set)

Ribbon

Stampin dimensional



Start with a standard piece of card stock 5.5' x 8.5' and then score at 4.25'



Score again at 2 1/8' crease fold with bone folder to make the front lay flat.






Cut four pieces of designer paper 2' x 2.5'. use adhesive to attach them in any pattern you wish.



Use Jumbo Roller and roll greeting onto the inside of the card. Roll only once against the inside fold of the card.




Stamp Images on neutrals CS with co-ordinating ink. Punch out small flower with small circle punch. Cut large image (your focal point) in a 2' x 2' square. Use two way Glue Pen and cover the stamped area of large flower leaving the center and edges clean (glue where there is colour). Cover with Micorbeads over Powder Pal. It may be easier to hold card stock with tweezers or tongs while applying beads and to dump excess into tray.



Drag edges of focal point over an ink pad or use a stampin sponge dabbed in ink to edge the neutral cardstock to make it pop.



Mount Focal point on a 2.5' x 2.5' piece of coloured CS. Now add a stampin dimensional to the back of the small flower centre that you punched out and place it in the center of you focal flower. Then place two more stampin dimensionals to the back left side of the coloured cs only on the left side so that the card can fold open.




Using a glue dot secure a length of ribbon to the front centre of the left fold close to the fold. Then attach focal point over ribbon in the centre of the card. Wrap the ribbon around the back and tie a small simple bow on the right side of the focal point.
