Fun Fold Angle Christmas card

Check out this angle fold card.

I love how it turned out!

This is a such a bright & cheery Christmas card isn't it!

I used the

#162227- A Garden Walk DSP= $12.50 pg. 53 HC

I have made a couple of other cards using this fun angle fold.

You can click on the links below to see them!

CLICK HERE!

CLICK HERE!

This is what the angle card looks like when it is opened up!

Cool huh!

 Here 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 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 (poinsettias)

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

Notice how I cut a Poppy Parade Modern Oval Punch

& cut it in half to layer behind the words!
