Butterfly Corner Flip

I saw a Valentine card done with this fold, but didn't have time to try it.  So, I decided to try it using the Butterfly Brilliance Bundle...and now the paper is no longer available.  I guess I'll have to redo it using something NEW!! (I have some darling Pansies coming!) Stay tuned.  I am hoping to do more videos with these more detailed folds!!



Measurements:  

  • Calypso Coral: 1/2 Sheet
  • Basic White: 3 pcs - 4" x 5 1/4"
  • DSP:3 3/4" x 5"
To Make This Card:

  • Begin by making the corner "template". Take one of the Basic White pieces.  Measure along the short side 2 3/4" and place a mark.  Then, measure along the long side to 3 1/2" and make a mark.  Draw a line with a pencil, connecting the 2 marks. Cut along this line.  Save the triangle, and discard the rest of the piece. Use it for another card.
  • Fold card base in half. Place "template" along upper left corner of card. Score along "pencil" line with Bone Folder.  It should lightly transfer to the back side.  Flip card front over and repeat for the back side. Now, carefully fold along score lines, inverting the corner to the inside of card.
  • Take one of the other Basic White pieces. and lay inside the card, leaving an 1/8" border.  Mark the score line and trim this piece.  Trim approx 1/8" from the cut edge.  Check for fit.  Take the small corner you removed, and fit to the upper triangle. The inside layering is done!
  • To layer the outside.  Repeat with the Basic White piece. Using the scored/folded edge as a guide to cut your White layer, and then repeating with the DSP layer.  Always allowing for an 1/8" border!!
  • Decorate front as desired.
  • Some will also place DSP on the upper, inside flap of card.  Your choice!!
