Welcome to my Corner of the World
Welcome to the Funky Folds Hop ~ a community for like minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky folds and to share our ideas. Funky actually means “modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way” so hang onto your hats and see what the talented artisans have to offer 🙂
We don’t have a specific theme ” anything goes” it is all about the fold!! I chose a simple ‘rocker’ card and decorated it for a teen grand-daughter!
The finished card size is 6 1/2 x 4 3/4 so will perfectly in a 7 x 5 envelope. You can make a smaller size by choosing to use smaller dies and simply follow the method in the video
- Base Card: 1 sheet Summer Sun Card ~ cut in 1/2 and run thru cutting machine with your selected die
- Layer 1: 1/2 sheet of White Card ~ cut out a full layer using selected die and then another with same die but trim down to go inside card to write your ‘to you, love from me” message
- Layer 2: 1/4 sheet Petunia Pop Card~ cut with smaller die
- Layer 3: 4 x 3 decorative paper ~ cut with smaller die
- Ink Color: Summer Splash
Layers 1 & 2 were glued together then run thru embossing machine with Distressed Tile Embossing Folder
