Column Fun Fold

 Hello,

I've got an easy fun fold for you today. It's called a column fold. This card folds flat and fits into a medium envelope. 

Here it is folded flat.


And when opened...

Here's a top view...


Here's how I made it: (all measurements are in inches)
Take a piece of card stock measuring 5-1/2 x 10-1/8 and score at 4-1/4, 5-3/4, 7-1/4 and 8-3/4.
  Burnish all score lines to get a nice crisp fold. 
( the white card stock measurement should be 1-5/8 x 5-3/8)

Fold the card base around so that the 8-3/4 score line is sitting flush with the back of the card base. 

It's at this point I make sure the card opens and closes easily. Then I adhere the piece to the back of the card.
(shown here with a paper clip)

And that's the fun fold. 
Now to decorate.
DSP: cut 3 @ 1-3/8 x 5-3/8 and one piece at 1-1/8 x 5-2/8
Cut a piece of white card stock for the inside measuring 1-5/8 x 5-3/8.

Extra pieces of card stock is required for your stamped image or sentiment. 
*Note: if you require more space to write a personal note, a piece of white card stock can be added to the back of the card measuring 4 x 5-1/4.
The 3 dsp pieces are adhered to the first three scored panels. The single piece of dsp is adhered to the back of the base. The white piece of card stock is adhered beside the dsp panel on the back base of the card.                         🠟                       🠟

For this card I used Fresh Freesia and Basic White card stock, Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper and the Fragrant Flowers Bundle.

This fun fold is definitely a keeper. So easy especially when making multiple cards. (Although, don't be like me and get too confident thinking you can make it without checking the measurements from time to time🤣. The second card I made didn't go so well)



Thanks for stopping by. Until next time....
