World of Good Double Drapery Fold Card |
|
A handsome card created with the double drapery fold technique.
Cutting / Supplies:
Black Cardstock - 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2", scrap piece ~ 1" x 5" (width 1/4" wider than the strip your sentiment is stamped on, length 1/2" - 1" longer than the width of the card, trim to correct length during assembly)
Crumb Cake Card Stock - 4" x 5 1/4" for inside panel, scrap piece ~ 3/4" x 5" the correct height for your sentiment, width 1/2" - 1" longer than width of the card, trim to correct length during assembly.
World of Good Designer Paper (DSP) - 10" x 5" (center the design), scrap piece 1" x 3 1/2" with one end cut with banner punch.
Globe cut from World of Good Memories and More Pack.
Assembly:
Score the 10" x 5" piece of DSP at 1", 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 3", 4", 4 1/2", 5", 5 1/2", 6", 7", 7 1/5", 8 1/2", 9". (See diagram)
Mark the DSP at 4 1/2" and 5 1/2" on the top and bottom edge. Mark at 2" and 3" on the left and right edges. I use an erasable pen for this so I can see the marks and easily erase them when I am done.
Cut as shown on the diagram from the top mark on the left side, to the left mark on the top side. Then the bottom mark on the left side, to the left mark on the bottom side. Do this for the other two sides. (See cutting marks on diagram)
Fold, accordian style, so that the left and right ends are on top and the middle section is on the bottom.
Adhere the center of the folded DSP to the center of your card stock. Add dimensionals underneath the first folds (in the center, on top of the DSP and under the first left and right folds) to raise the folds up.
With STRONG TAPE (Seal +) or adhesive (glue dots will work too), adhere the left and right edges of the DSP to the edges of your card.
After stamping your sentiment on the 3/4" strip, adhere it to the 1" strip. Place a dimensional on the bottom center of this strip and attach to the center of your card, centering it with the left and right of your DSP. With STRONG TAPE or adhesive (glue dots will work too) attach the left and right sides of your sentiment to the left and right sides of the card. Attach the cut globe piece.
Stamp your sentiment on the inside card, decorate it with the small scrap of DSP and adhere to the inside.
