Flap Fold

 Hello,

An easy fun fold for today. It's a flap fold.

Take a piece of card stock measuring 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and score at 1 1/4" and 4 1/4". Fold the 1 1/4" score line into a mountain fold and the 4 1/4" score line into a valley fold. Burnish.

There is your flap fold. Now to decorate. 

Cut DSP as follows:

2 3/4" x 5 1/4 " for the front

1'"x 5 1/4" for the narrow flap

4" x 5 1/4" for the base

Adhere all the pieces.

Also cut out of white card stock, a piece measuring 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" for the inside for a sentiment. Alternatively, a piece of DSP can be adhered to the inside instead of white card stock and then add a piece of card stock to the back of the card measuring 4" x 5 1/4". It depends on how much space is required for a personal note.

For the front focal point, I opted to cut a circle and adhere some foliage from the Splendid Thoughts bundle. Adhere to the narrow flap, centering it on the front. Be sure to add glue to just a small part of the narrow strip when you add your focal point or the card will not open. (Ask me how I know 😕, you only make that mistake once). You can cut any shape to be your focal point.

The Designer Series Paper is called Countryside Inn, item # 161467. I love all the shades of blue...Balmy Blue, Boho Blue, Misty Moonlight and Night of Navy.

There you have it!

Thanks for stopping by. Until next time...
