Ink-Stamp-Share-February Blog Hop-Fancy Fold Cards

Ink-Stamp-Share-February Blog Hop-Fancy Fold Cards

I love fancy fold cards and you have hopped from Rochelle, her card was awesome. I love being a part of this group, such talented stampers.

My favorite set from the Jan-June mini catalog is the Ice Cream Corner suite.

I made this card some time ago and said I would do a video on how to make it, finally here it is. I'm not sure what this fold is called, I'm going to call it the Cascade card.



The fun thing about this card, you can make it any size you want. And it has a pocket for a gift card, I love giving and getting gift cards.





I hope you enjoy the video and if you have any questions, please leave me a comment and I'll get back to you.





Step 1: Cut cardstock 8 1/2 x 9

Step 2: Score at 3 and 6 inches
Step 3: Cut cardstock at an angle.
I lined the bottom point up at the 2 inch mark and the top corner at the 5 1/2 inch mark. Make sure your score lines are to the side of the trimmer and not the top of the trimmer.

Step 4: Cut your cardstock: You now have to card bases.














Step 5: Fold and score your card bases.













For the Gift card holder score a piece of Designer Series Paper 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 score at 1/2 inch on 3 sides to make the pocket to hold the gift card.











Cut the two sqares as shown in the picture at an angle. This makes the pocket to hold your gift card.

  4. Your card is so well organized I may get brave & try this again. You tips for cutting the layers make it so much easier than what I did when I tried this card a few years ago for mothers day. Although I used the butterfly DSP & it was pretty.
