We're halfway through the month of June which means that it's time for another round of fun over at the Seize the Birthday challenge blog. Barb is our host and she's chosen Fancy Fold as her Topping.
I rarely create anything other than traditional card bases so I had to put on my thinking cap for this one. I have no idea what you call this design so feel free to inform me in the comments.
This is what it looks like folded up with a belly band.
Removing the belly band it unfolds to this.
To create the fold I began with a sheet of teal cardstock cut to 5.5" x 11.0". I scored it at 1.25", 5.5" and 9.25". I folded it in half at the 5.5" mark. I folded the left side in and the right side out.
I die cut two scalloped borders from red cardstock and adhered them to the outside edges of the card base. I chose a small polka dot paper to add to these folded sections as well as the inside center. This is also where I stamped my birthday sentiment. I stamped a text background onto the two remaining front sides for a bit of interest. I made a belly band from white vellum and adhered some die cut florals to the center. I added a few of the leftover florals to the inside. It's almost like a mini scrapbook album when completed.

This is a very handsome knockout of a card. I would call it a double Z fold if I had to put a name on it. I am loving that belly band and I am so glad that you stepped out of your usual comfort zone to make this one. Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteWell, Jules, you really outdid yourself. This is a fantastic, fancy fold card. Would never know that you rarely do these types of cards. Have a nice weekend.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what this type of fancy fold is called, but I've never seen anything like before. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteFabulous fun fold Jules and fabulous colors. Love the bright teal and red., so pretty together. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThis is a real beauty Jules, not sure what it is called either but I love it! Those colours are fabulous together, a great fancy fold card, Cathy x
ReplyDeleteNot only is this really pretty with great colors, I love the sentiment on the inside too. Wonderful job with this challenge, Jules!
