A bit ago I shared with you the very easy Book Binding Fun Fold card. The base of the card is so easy. Start with a piece of cardstock that is 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score along the long side at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″. On the inside of the card place adhesive between the two score marks. Close the card and adhere. Now when you open the card the inside will be 4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″. Decorate the card and this fun fold is done.
Let’s step it up a notch. We’ll start with the same base of the card but when we open it, the magic begins!
Ok, it’s not really magic. It’s simply a 6″ x 6″ piece of designer paper that has been folded three times and adhered to the inside of your card.
When you open the card you get a fun surprise!
The first thing you need to do to add the “explosion” to the card is to determine which side of the designer paper you want to be prominent when you open the card.
With the prominent side of the paper facing up, fold the designer paper in half. Open it and now fold it in half the other way. Open it once again, flip it over so that the side you don’t want to see is facing up. Now fold the card in half diagonally. Done. You’ve got these folds completed you’re reading to place this piece in the card. Below you will find a video with the details of the folds and how to adhere it to the center of the card.
This “explosion” is a fun addition to the easy Book Binding Fun Fold. Give it a try! I may be making a number of these cards for my holiday cards this year. Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
