Male Snail Corner Flip Fold

Love this Male Snail die cut!  I really think he looks like a walrus!  Just another way to use the the Snailed It Bundle. I hadn't made a corner fold in ages, let along one with a landscape orientation. I really like it!

Measurements:  

  • Real Red: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Snail Mail DSP (N): 2 pcs 4" x 5 1/4" (stamps, stitching), 2 3/4" square (bubbles), Male Snail die cut
  • Bermuda Bay: 2 7/8" square, scrap
To Make This Card:

  • Fold Real Red card, the fold will be on the left side.
  • To make the Corner Flip Fold, you will need a ruler, pencil, and your trimmer, or if you are really trimmer savvy, just cut and go! To just use your trimmer, place the shorter side of the card at the 1 ¼”  mark.  Place the blade at the 5/8” mark  and draw down to 3". Turn the card so the long side is at the 3” mark Place the blade at the  5/8" mark and cut down to the 3” mark. Carefully flip corner forward, creasing at the outside points. (Note: you may need to refold the actually card so this flips in the right directions!)
  • Adhere Bermuda Bay "stitching" DSP to inside of card.
  • Temporarily flip corner back.  Lay "postage stamp" DSP on front.  Make a pencil mark from corner to corner where creases are.  Trim this corner.  Adhere to card front.  Flip open card front, and carefully trim away DSP showing in the "window". Flip corner back into place and adhere corner to front of card.
  • Attach Bermuda Bay and "conversation bubble" DSP to front square.  
  • Fussy cut one Snali from DSP.  Attach to card over corner as shown.
  • Stamp "postage stamp" in Black onto scrap of Bermuda Bay.  Punch out with new Postage Stamp Punch.  Mount to front flip with Dimensionals.  
  • Cut out 1 large and 2 small "mushrooms" from scraps of Real Red.  Attach to inside of card, making sure you do not see small mushrooms in lower right corner.
  • Finish with White Resin Heart.
