A belly band keeps this 6"-square card closed. To attach the leaf ribbon to the belly band, I put a glue dot(r) underneath every other leaf. I recommend using a dry glue such as glue dots or Tear & Tape adhesive when attaching this ribbon. Otherwise, the ribbon tends to absorb the wet glue (i.e. Tombow Multi Mono Liquid Glue) like a sponge and doesn't stick well.
This fun fold is not complicated and works with any sized cardstock as long as it is a square. For example, I used a 6" by 6" piece of Balmy Blue cardstock for the card base.
Start with a square of cardstock. Score the cardstock half. Rotate the cardstock 90 degrees. Score the cardstock in half. Then rotate the cardstock so that one point is at the top and one point is at the bottom. Score from point to point. Fold and burnish all score lines.
I decorated the inside with diamonds and triangles of Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper. I found my diamond measurement by dividing the card base width and length by 2 and subtracting 1/4" for the matting. So, 6 divided by 2 is 3. Three - 1/4" = 2-3/4". To cut the triangles, I first cut a 2-3/4" square and then cut it point to point on the Stampin' Trimmer.
If your card base is not 6" by 6", your Designer Series Paper squares may be a different size. Measure the width and length of the diamond and subtract 1/4" from both the width and the length to get the adjusted square dimensions.
If you are using Designer Series Paper with a pattern that has a specific direction, be sure to cut the paper diagonally to keep the right orientation of the pattern.
I couldn't leave the back of the card blank, so I added the same Designer Series Paper and stamped the greeting again. This time I stamped all of the animal images in the stamp set surrounding the greeting for a touch of whimsy. I think my nephew will think that is humorous!
Each of the animals are colored with Stampin' Blends. I started by applying the darker of each color to the shaded areas in the stamped images. Animal Outing has shading lines right on the stamp itself to help you shade and blend the colors. Talk about helpful! Then I colored in the rest of the area with the lighter of each color. When I was getting close to the darker color, I made little circles with the Stampin' Blend along the edge of the darker color to join the two shades together.
This fun fold card sits up slightly and looks almost like a frog sitting down! How cute!
I bet this fun fold card would look amazing with the Detailed Dragonfly stamp set and thinlits! I hope you give this sweet card a try! I would love to see what you make!
You can find the measurements and supply list at the end of this post.
