So, I had a request for a "Chris-Mukkah" card (for a family that celebrates both Christmas and Hanukkah) and I saw a flip card and was INSPIRED. One side had a star fold (made from one sheet of paper).
And the other side has a nice Christmas scene, and TOGETHER...they are "Chris-Mukkah!"
Here's how I did the flip card part. First, start with a paper that is 5" X 7" and score at 2-3/4" and 4-1/4" for 1" on the top and bottom of the card.
Then, cut at 1-1/2" starting at 1" and ending at 4" on BOTH sides.
Lastly, turn the card 90 degrees and cut from the cuts you made in step 2 to the score lines on all 4 sides. Then, fold on set one way and the other ones in the opposite way.
Here's how I did the star. Cut a paper 6" by 51/2" and mark it at 3" on the top. Then, cut down from your mark to each corner on the bottom. What you want is an equilateral triangle (yes, I'm a geometry geek). You do need to adjust it a little to make sure each edge is 6 inches. It is off by a smidge.
Then, score on all 3 sides at 2-5/8" and then at 3-1/2".
Fold the first (inside) line IN, then fold the second (outside) line OUT on all 3 sides.
Fold each side in, one at a time and then tuck in the last one into the last one into the first flap, kind of like when you close a moving box, but with only 3 sides.
TA-DAH!!!
Thanks for checking in!

ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Thank you so very much....beautiful card and am going to attempt the star..maybe on both sides!
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I need one next week. Hopefully, I get it done by then. Unless you have some extras for sale?
ReplyDeleteLove the folds!!!! So clever. I had to laugh at the Snowman card - I have that stamp set still and it is an oldie but goodie!! It was way back when SU! sold the foam stamp sets (remember those?)
