Circle Sayings Fun Fold

 

Check out these fun birthday cards!

 

Which do you like better?

THIS- the Fresh Freesia one?

OR

THAT- the Azure Afternoon one?

 

Everyone attending my July monthly classes will get to make one of these cards!

This is the pattern on how I cut it.

*8 1/2 x 11" of card stock.

*Measure & lightly mark at 3" on both ends as shown.

*Then diagonally cut from mark to mark.

*You'll now have 2 card bases.

*Using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool- 

score your card base as shown @ 4 1/4" & 8".

 

Below shows how I cut the layers at a diagonal-

For the diagonal fun fold birthday card here is how I cut dsp at the angle-

1. Cut dsp, slid up about 1/2” from bottom of card stock;
2. Carefully flipped over so didn’t move dsp & drew line along top edge;
3. Cut off top little triangle piece with paper cutter.

*4 x 5 1/4"- lay inside card & slide upward- leaving about 1/2" showing at bottom.

*Flip this over & using a pencil- draw a line along the edge.

This is the part that you'll use your paper cutter & cut off!

*Now this is what it looks like!

It makes the perfect layer!

 

*You will "repeat" this process for both DSP layers too!

*2 3/4 x 3 1/2"- front of card flap (stars)

*3 1/2 x 4 1/4"- for middle front of card (squiggly lines)
