Clue #1 Vertical/Portrait card, Gather your supplies:
Colored Card Stock: card base
– 1 @ 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, score at 4-1/4. Mark 2-1/2″ from the top right corner in toward the fold. Cut from the mark down to the bottom right corner.
– 1 @ 1-1/2 x 5-1/2, cut from the top left corner down to the bottom right corner.
DSP:
– 1 @ 5-1/4 tall x 4 wide. Mark 2-1/2″ from the top right corner. Cut from the mark down to the bottom right corner. Save the cut off triangle for another card.
– 1 @ 5 tall x 2-1/4 wide, different from first piece. Cut from the top left corner down to the bottom right corner. Then cut 3/8″ off the base of this triangle
White/Vanilla Card Stock (CS):
– 1 @ 4 x 5-1/4
Embellishments:
– for embellishments, use something that goes along with your DSP but isn’t too large. Adding just a sentiment on the front is great, too.
Layer the small DSP on the small triangle and the larger triangle DSP on the larger triangle. Then layer on the card base creating a fan, keeping your tips inside the cardbase.
I created my card from a card I made at a demonstrator shoe box swap, so I have no directions. Karla suggested Mary Deatherage’s directions found here. Her measurement at the top is not the same as mine. She has each piece of DSP matted on her card.
I hope you like this Fan Fold fun-fold card! Please join us if you like to make a card without knowing what it is until you are done!!
