Hello My Crafty Friends:
I love to discover new shapes and try them on cards...and To display flowers such as the ones from "
Petaloo" or display your patterned papers and all your dies these type of cards are excellent....
I have seeing this type of cards since a long time ago, but this is the first time that I decided to try this "fancy fun fold",
that you may call
"Reversed Double Gate Fold" card...because it is in reality a "Gate fold" with double panels but looking it backwards...
how to make the fold
1- cut paper at 11 3/4" x 5 1/2"
2- score paper at 3 1/4" ; 5" ; 6 3/4" ; 8 1/2"
3- make folds as shown
4- cut an hexagon shape, then cut in 1/2
5- place on each side, trace shape on paper and cut
NOTE: To make
bigger hexagons than the die; add few inches with a pencil, ruler and cut by hand
I used "
Authentique"/
nestled collection papers paired with blue and cream/orange blossoms from "
Petaloo"!
The center panel, the owl, is a sticker from "
Authentique", "nestled collection"- paper collection...
The left and right panels
A last view
I hope you will try this fun Shape
a "Reversed Double Gate Fold" card
Thanks for the company
and see you next time
