This style of card has been around for a long time and some of the videos I have watched on how others make it are full of measurements.
Now there is nothing wrong with that but I get totally lost in sixteenths of an inch and seven eights, it leaves me completely numb.
So I came up with another way and this is the best way I can make this card, easily, and it suits me perfectly..
I hope you will give this a try and find it as easy as I did.
The video is not long but it will give you a better idea of the steps I took to make it.
It would suit any occasion and male or female, if you leave off the flowers. This is a single photo of one of the cards.
The first picture makes it look too complicated as there are three together in that one.
But whatever you make it for have fun in the process.
More tomorrow ...

Love these, will have a go at making one. Karen
ReplyDeleteThat’s my kind of crafting as well. Thank you for the video - smashing. I particularly liked the backing sound track of the seagulls - it’s refreshing for those of us who live in the middle of the country!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat video and good that there are no fiddly measurements to deal with
ReplyDeleteThank you Christina, three most beautiful cards you have made here in the video, another brilliant fold idea for some more beautiful cards for me....thank you...luv Ursula xx

What a great card idea. I have someone in mind for this so I will definitely be giving it a go. Also like the mat that you use with all the different dimensions. What make is that please? TIA
ReplyDeleteHi Christina.
ReplyDeleteThat's look lovely. Made a different version the other week as a cc and that was fun challenge. Hope you and Ruby are alright. Maria x
Thanks Christina for taking all the measuring out of this style of card, I must try this and soon!!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try this as well. I have lots of pretty scraps. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have a great laugh at what I am about to tell you Christina, I thought that they were all one card and it looked very complicated, silly me but I am going to make the card.

Thank you so much, Christina, for showing us how to make this card. Your instructions are so easy to follow and you make everything seem so simple. I'm definitely going to make this one. I have so many card packs..I need to start using them.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I thought the same thing, Rene from OZ. LOL I was wondering how that stack was made and what size it would be all folded up. I was trying to imagine what size envelope it would fit into. I agree, it looked so complicated. Even if it had been, I know Christina would've simplified it for us.

Unusual fold yet it works. Love the front of the cards
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card you made in the video - I so enjoyed watching. I don't generally make much use of all the papers I have in my stash, so I'm going to take some inspiration from you. xx
