Welcome to the Funky Folds Blog Hop. We are a group of like-minded papercrafters who love to make cards with funky folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait or landscape style. Think 'easel', 'pop-up', 'gate fold', 'z-fold', 'shaped' or 3D cards etc. The list is endless.
All Blog Hops have an 'anything goes' theme using any type of 'funky' card fold and I've made a Pop Up Corner Card featuring the All Is Calm All is Bright kit card from Stampin' Up! It is an adorable kit with soft pastel palette of Basic Beige, Gray Granite, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink and White.
The fold is a quick one that was pretty easy to bring together:
Measurements:
Designer Series Paper of Choice: 5 3/4" x 7" I have used retired Winter Meadow DSP
Coloured Cardstock Colour #1: 5 1/2" x 4 `1/4" and 2 7/8" x 4 1/8"
I have used Pool Party
Coloured Cardstock Colour #2 5 3/8" x 4 1/8" and 2 3/4" x 4"
I have used Lost Lagoon
White/Vanilla/Beige Colour #3 2 3/4 x 4" mat for insert for signature and 2 1/4" x 3 1/2" for card front
I have used Whisper White
Score the DSP at 2 inch mark along the length and again along the width. Tip - if your DSP has images that need to face up than make sure to orient your paper so that that intersecting score lines will be in the top left corner and your images on paper are pointing up.
Fold the Corner down to where the score lines so that the score lines all line up neatly on both sides and then burnish. Fold the two inner diagonal score lines inward to form the corner pop up square in top left corner.
Take the 2 large coloured cardstock pieces and mat the 5 1/8" x 4 1/8" onto the 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" and than mount the DSP portion onto this.
Pop open and mount the 2 1/4" x 3 1/3" insert so that it is up in the left hand corner so it wont show when the card is assembled.
Take the 2 3/4" x 4" coloured cardstock and mount onto the 2 7/8" x 4 1/4" coloured cardstock.
Using your White/Vanilla/Beige 2 3/4" x 4" card front decorate your card front as desired. Once card front is complete than mount onto the coloured mat.
Card front is than adhered to the top left corner of the card front onto the top corner square pop out.
Your card is complete and ready for sending out to someone special!
Up next is Tammy Fite USA and I'm keen to see what she has created this month.
