FRIDAY IS THE DAY FOR FUN FOLD CARDS & HOW TO MAKE THEM

For today’s Fun Fold card I have been playing around with closures and magnets. I’m going to call this one a Top Fold Flap Card. If there is a more commonly known name, I hope that you will reach out and let me know.

I started with a partial Bermuda Bay card base measuring 6-1/4″x 5-3/4″. The bottom section was scored at 2-1/8″ and was folded up.

The Basic White panel for this horizontal flap was cut to 5-5/8″x 2″ and was stamped using the Sentimental Swirls Stamp Set.

For the top, vertical flap I used two of the Hippo & Friends Dies. I lengthened these pieces so that the flap would have enough to tuck some in behind the Basic White insert. This resulted in a hinge.

The white die cut panel was stamped also before the two die cut pieces were glued together.

After I stamped the Basic White card insert, I attached the hinge between the back of the card and the insert.

With the top flap in place, I secured the first magnet on the bottom flap and then adhered the stamped Basic White panel over it.

The next step was to position the second magnet over the first and added a Mini Glue Dot on it. I pressed thetop flap firmly onto the second magnet and lifted it up. To hold the magnet in place I adhered a piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock over it.

The flap snaps closed and keeps the card shut.

I cut another piece of Bermuda Bay cardstock, using the Hippo & Friends Dies, to place on the card insert. The birthday greeting was then stamped on the insert.

I also stamped the bird on the front of the envelope.

This was a fun card to create. I think I will make some adjustments so that it can also hold a gift card.

Tomorrow sees some #simplestamping and a new product bundle to showcase.

Until then, happy stamping.
