C ascade fold card with butterflies for a special Birthday greeting!
Project Recipe
Card base: Cut Perfect Plum Card Stock - 8" x 12", score at 2", 4", 8" & 10" - draw a light line at 6"
On 8" side: Mark at 5-1/2" from LH side, turn 180 degrees and mark at 5-1/2" from LH side.
Using a ruler, draw a line connecting the 2 marks and cut on the line or using Stampin' Up! paper trimmer, line up the 2 marks and cut. Each 1/2 will be the same.
1st half: Mark centre on each end - @ 2-3/4" on the 5-1/2" end and @1-1/4" on the 2-1/2" end - draw a line connect these 2 marks. Using Paper Snips, cut from the flat bottom edge on the 2", 6" & 10" lines up to the centre line.
2nd half: Mark centre on each end - @ 2-3/4" on the 5-1/2" end and @1-1/4" on the 2-1/2" end - draw a line connect these 2 marks. Using Paper Snips, cut from the angled top edge on the 2", 6" & 10" lines down to the centre line.
Connect the 2 halves by inserting the slits made, fold so card will lay flat and fit in standard sized envelope.
