Double Point Fold card

Last week I needed a sympathy card to send to one of my downline, Von- as her sister had passed away.  I wanted to send her a special card.....and this is what I ended up making for her.

Check out the fun double point fold I did here on the ends, using DSP!

How did I do the fold?

1.  Take a piece of DSP- 4 x 3"- score along the 3" side at 1", turn & mark the 2" (center) on the 4" side.  NOTE:  You need 2 of these pieces- one for each end of the card. 
 
2.  I then just folded down the corner from the 2" center point mark, to the scored line.  I did this both corners of the DSP. 

This is what it looks like when I folded the DSP point that I used on the card.

 

3.  Fold the points like shown here. 

4.  Add adhesive like shown here.

5.  Adhere the both points to both ends of a card base that is 4 x 5 1/4". 

6.  Then adhere it to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2" card base.

7.  Add the layers of card stock & decorate as desired. 

I think it turned out really pretty!  What do you think?

Yesterday was a busy day with the kids & then I helped Deke outside with the hogs last night.  When we got in I made a late supper, answered emails & worked on orders from my class.  And Deke watched the Cubs play. 

This morning we are both up early.  Deke has an early meeting at 8:30 in Sigourney.  And then another one this afternoon in Mt. Pleasant.  I'll leave at 6:30, as Manda has an early meeting today too.  I'll take the 3 Seeley boys to school & then spend my day with Masen & Ainslee.  Today is my mom's birthday, so we will run in town & eat lunch with her, my aunt, one of my sisters & a couple of my nieces.  The 4 boys will ride the bus here after school.  We will then go to the twins football game.  

I hope you have a WONDERFUL Wednesday!!

Happy Stamping!
