This is another neat fold shared by Dawn Griffith!! She has THE most amazing folds!! I had not done/seen this fold before, so, of course, I had to try it! I was going to do this in my Butterfly Card Fold class this month, but with the papers gone, I am turning this into a Virtual Card Fold Class. So stay tuned to some instructional videos!!
Measurements:
- Just Jade: 1/2 sheet, 3" x 4" (mechanism), 3/4" x 2 1/4" (mechanism)
- Basic White:2" x 3", 4" x 5 1/4"
- Butterfly Bijou DSP (ret): 4" x 5 1/4"
To Make This Card
- Fold Just Jade card in half. Attach White quarter to the inside.
- Attach DSP to front of card, around the outside edges only. Cut Stitched Oval from front of card. Keep the cardstock oval, and discard the DSP
- Cut smaller Stitched Oval from Basic White piece. Layer onto Jade Oval.
- Score the 3" x 4" Jade piece at 1", 2", 3". Crease well. Fold this piece in half. Add Tear & Tape to one outside 1" area, one of the ends. Flip this over and adhere to inside of card, with cut edge along fold of card. "Eyeball" this so it is centered behind the Oval opening.
- Keeping this piece folded in half, add Tear & Tape to the other "end" and close the card! Voila the first mechanism/pop up!
- Now, take the 3/4" strip and scor at 1 1/4". Hold in half and crease well. Flip over so the longer side is up, and place Tear & Tape on this area. Close your card, and place this mechanism so the adhesive side is down, short side is up, and cut edge is against the oval. Press down.
- Now place some adhesive on the shorter side. Close card, and place cut oval in the opening and attach to the flap with the adhesive on it. Check to see that it works!! Isn't it fun!!
- Finish by adding image to the front. As well as any sentiments.
- And I added a cut butterfly, and words to the inside as well.
- My card wouldn't stay closed, so I added a clear velcro dot!
