Fun Fold Friday

Welcome to another edition of Fun Fold Friday - today I am trying the triangle fold. A fun way to showcase both sides of your pretty DSP. 

My card design is inspired by a couple of challenges. The Global Design Project sketch #GDP534  

The Just Add Ink colour challenge #JAI778. I opted to stay in the orange and sandy end or the palette with metallic orangey Copper, Pecan pie, Crumb cake, Very Vanilla and Secret Sea for my outline stamp and sentiment. 

I’m getting inky with the Fragrant Layers stamp set, Everyday Arch dies, the Triple Banner punches, Nature Walk DSP, Pecan Pie and Old Olive blends, Streaked Dots, Wink of Stella and unbranded copper twine.

 

To create the fun fold you take a full sheet or 8.5” x 11” card stock and score it full width at 4.25” and full length at 5.5.

Once scored you want to cut out the top left corner. And then cut from the right side corner down to the score line at the angle to create your first triangle. Then you want to cut the bottom left corner at an angle up to the same 5.5 score line to create your second triangle. Fold the top triangle down and use bone folder to smooth out and than fold the bottom triangle up. 

Your DSP is 5.25” x 4” and you cut it from the left corner down to the right corner to create two triangles. Make sure you align your pattern in the paper to be oriented in the position you want it to be. You adhere to the two triangles so that they show one side and the other of your DSP. 

Your focal point mat can be any shape you like just sized smaller than your folded base. I have chosen the Everyday Arch dies from the sketch challenge. 

Embellish card front as desired - I have used the Fragrant Flowers on Very Vanilla and than applied Wink of Stella for some sparkle. I fussy cut the flowers and popped up on dimensionals with the copper twine tucked in behind, mounted on torn arch mats  and then added some streaked dots to finish it off.
