July Fancy Folds Technique Class

With the many new, beautifully fancy die cuts in the Stampin' Up catalog now, it seems quite appropriate that we do a Fancy Fold Cards Class to showcase how gorgeous they are! At first glance they may seem to be ordinary cards, as they all fold flat and fit into standard envelopes.  But opening them reveals how special they are, I love it!  There are many of other ways to use the dies as well, I can't wait to show you in future classes to come.

The upper left one is a Tent-Fold card, which can stand up to display two stamping surfaces in series at one time. (Note the inlaid look of the die-cut front floral border.) Wouldn't this be a nice way to show off a picture in front with words in the back, or words in front with a gift card in back, or coordinated stamped images that relate to each other -- there are so many possibilities!

The Diagonal-Crossover Card is a truly unique card that I saw once in a store and had to figure out how to replicate it.  It has lots of options since it can have both front and inside pockets to hold little notes, paper money/gift cards, pictures, etc.  Here I've used four sides of my new favorite new printed paper, Floral Boutique, with its matching washi tape, and two of the Flourish Thinlets dies as finishing touches.

Last is the easy and fun Double Z-Fold "Congrats" Card, done in the popular Pop of Pink Specialty Designer paper.  An unusual opening from a cut and a few scores, some golden bling, and a clever way with the wording makes this a fun card to give away... if you can!  

As with all my Techniques Classes, printed measurements and directions are included for each project.  So save the date and invite a friend, you're going to have a truly creative time!
