The Angled Corner Fun Fold card is fun and easy to make. The upper left corner of the card isn’t cut off, it’s folded in on itself. You then use die-cut or punched images to fill in the area that is “missing” on the card.
When you are decorating the card and filling in this “missing” area you want to be sure to stay within the 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card front area so that you card will fit in the envelope.
Below you can see some photos of the inside of the card as well as the side where the angled fold is.
The nice thing about this fun fold is that it’s easy to alter. You can increase or decrease the size of your angled fold depending on the size of dies/punches that you use to cover the “missing” corner.
You also want to add a die-cut or punched image on the fold on the inside of your card to show it off. In the picture to the left you can see how adhered the single die-cut flower to the inside fold.
The fold itself is made up of only 3 scored lines and one of those scored lines is the one you made at the halfway point (4 1/4″) to form your card. Below you can see the template I used for my card.
The cardstock measures 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ which is a standard card size. I scored it along the long edge at 4 1/4″ which will be the center fold of my card.
Along this center fold score line I measured in 2 3/4″ and made a light pencil mark.
I also measured up 2 1/2″ from this center fold score line and down 2 1/2″ making light pencil marks at these points.
You can’t really use the Simply Scored tool or your Paper Trimmer to score these angled lines so you need to get out your trusty Bone Folder and a regular old ruler or any type of tool with a straight edge. Line up one of the points on the side with the point on the horizontal score mark and run your Bone Folder along the straight edge.
After you’ve made all three score lines fold the card in half like you usually would. Open it up again and crease the angled score lines in the same direction. They will be “mountain fold”.
This fun fold is very easy to make. The hardest part is figuring out how to decorate it! Be sure to contact me if you have any questions on it. I’ll be happy to help you out!
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
