FAN FOLD USING A 4 CARDSTOCK & METRIC MEASUREMENTS !

 Hi everyone . Well I was determined to figure out how to create a Fan Fold card in a size we commonly use for our cards in Australia & I did it ! I won't tell you how much copy paper I went through !



So I began with a standard size card - 14.9 cm x 21 cm scored in half @ 10.5 cm .

Then I put a tick mark 4.2 cm from the right side edge & cut from this mark to the bottom right edge of the card stock SAVE THIS OFF CUT

My next layer was 10 x 14.4 cm & the next was my DSP cut @ 9.5 x 13.9 cm & I repeated the steps outline above again using the 4.2 cm tick mark .

Repeat this step on a 10 x 14.4 piece of Basic Whit for the inside of your card .

Fan sizes largest 13x 8.5 cm , 12 x7.5 cm & 11x 6.5 cm - cut in 1/2 diagonally from far left edge to far right edge

smallest fa sizes - use off cut saved from card base 3.5 x14 & 3 x 13 cm.

Please watch my video for assembly instructions .

PEEK-A-BOO FOLD OUT PANEL CARD PLUS ARCHED Z FOLD CARD !

Hello stamping friends .  Warning - this post is very photo heavy ! I did get carried away with these beautiful designs & papers !
I hosted a wonderful class last Saturday where my ladies created three amazing fun fold cards using the Everyday Arches dies . Below is the sample card I had prepared my art pieces in advance as a time saver & then showed the class how it went together . As explained in my video I cased a card by Dawn Griffiths which she called a Peek-A- Boo Fold Out Panel card , however I have altered the measurements slightly to accomodate our metric sized cards . I used a piece os DSP cut @ 30 cm x 6 cm & scored it 2 10 cm & 20 cm . I dot recall what size arches dawn used but I found the 3 rd from the largest  fit my card best , then I used the % th from the largest & the 7 th from the largest . The card below uses the Woven Textures DSP  & Textured Notes stamp set along with the soon to be released , Charming Day bundle . These are all parts of suites so are all include in the sale . Charming Day is only available to demonstrators right now until it's released in July. Not a demo ? Not a problem , I'd love for you to join my team ! 



















 














The 2 nd card I created during my video & for my class  was cased from one I had seen by Linda Dalke on Pinterest but as no instructions/ measurements were given I decided to work them out my self which was very easy & I love these cute cards too !





















If you'd like to see how these cards were created you can watch my video on You Tube here 


 & please reach out if you'd like further instructions .
