Fourth Tuesday Fun Fold Tech #8 (5/31/11) Four Fold Square

I had a 5th/4th problem this month-sorry! Next, week Shelley/packerfan is going to host a fun technique, so be sure to drop by!


Fourth Tuesday Fun Fold Tech #8 (5/31/11) Four Fold Square

This may have another name, but I decide to strike out on my own since I'm just not sure if I've seen it or not. The finished dimensions of this card is 4-1/4 inches square. It fits nicely in a medium envelope, so you may see it at Convention!

It is really easy and was inspired by this week's MOJO Monday sketch, MOJO193. I actually thought at first that this card style was the sketch, but it wasn't. I decided it should have been so I made it the Fun Fold here on SA.

Blushing Bouquet Four Fold Square

1. Cut your cardstock into a 6 inch square.


2. Turn the card on its point ends and score each side at 1-7/8 inches top to bottom. Be sure to keep the top and bottom point and left and right points straight as you score.


3. Carefully fold the corners to the center making a nice center in which the points meet up. (Use the bone folder to get them just so. Have patience.)


4. Cut your dsp into a square that is 3-7/8 inches. It would seem like 4 inch would be it since the finished card is 4-1/4 square, but since there is a middle edge you want it either 3-7/8 or 3-3/4 inches square.


5. Wrap ribbon around the card and attach it to your matching base (ONLY-Nothing is adhered to the card base except the dsp). The base cardstock layer in my example is 2-3/4 square. This base allows you slide the image, sentiment and ribbon off so that the card may be opened for writing inside. My image layer is 2-1/2 square.


6. Attach your image layer and sentiment layer and voila'.

That looks like fun, Rhonda! I'll have to give this one a try.
