How to Create a Tower Fun Fold Card
The Designer Series Paper in this suite is so pretty, so I wanted to a card that would be a canvas for some of it. This Tower fold card folds flat for posting, but creates quite a statement on the mantlepiece.
Instructions
This diagram gives you the guidelines for cutting and scoring the card base. The video below shows not only how I cut and scored the base, but also how I folded it.
I added mats of Mango Melody card before adding my Designer Series Paper.
Metric | Imperial | |
Four Side panels: Card DSP | 2cm x 14.4cm 1.5cm x 13.9 cm | 3/4″ x 5 1/4″ 1/2″ x 5″ |
Two Top and Bottom Vertical: Card DSP | 2cm x 10.5cm 1.5cm x 10cm | 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ 1/2″ x 4″ |
One Centre panel: Card DSP | 4.4cm x 10.5cm 3.9cm x 10cm | 1 1/4″ x 4 1/4″ 1″ x 4″ |
Two Front Squares: Card DSP | 6cm square 5.5cm square | 2 1/4″ square 2″ square |
One Basic White panel | 14.4cm x 5.5cm | 5 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ |
The centre panel was created by die cutting a Poppy Parade scalloped circle from the Layering Circle dies and also a plain Basic White circle. I stamped the sentiment on the white circle in poppy parade ink.
On some Basic White card I stamped the two step tulips in Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral ink and the leaves in Pear Pizzazz on Pear Pizzazz card. These were die cut and arranged on this circular front panel.
To finish the front I added a double bow of Poppy Parade/White twine and some Brushed Brass Butterflies.
on the reverse of the card you will stick two more side panels and the Basic White central panel.
