Paper Rose Love & Daydream Collection | Interlocking Fun Fold Card

Hi All,

Happy Good Friday to all who celebrate.

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose

Card Size 10.7 x 14cm (4 1/4 x 5 1/2)

This card is actually pretty simple to put together.

For the card base all you need is cardstock measuring 5 1/2 x 10 3/4. Along the 10 3/4 side score at 1 5/8,3 1/4, 7 1/2 and 9 1/8

Fold this as M (mountain), V (valley), V and M making a sort of upside down table. See photo below.

That is it, you will make the interlocking part using paper and your focal element.

The centre panel is a piece of patterned paper cut at 4" x 5 1/4

Smaller Rectangle

White rectangle 2 1/4 x 3 1/4

Matt - I used patterned paper 2 3/8 x 3 3/8

Larger rectangle

White 2 3/4 x 3 3/4

Matt- again I used patterned paper 2 7/8 x 3 7/8

With the larger rectangle I worked out where I wanted to place it at the top of the cardstock. You need to make sure it is centered top and to the left but COVERING the paper at the back. This will overlap onto the right hand panel. You only want to glue the left, otherwise you will not be able to open the card.

The smaller panel is slightly trickier. Cut some foam so it is smaller than the smaller rectangle. Work out where you wish to have your panel. You want to place the foam against the larger panel but on the right hand side. So when closed the larger rectangle will butt up against it, like a stopper really. Place your smaller rectangles in position. This will make sure you the larger rectangle will sit nicely under the other. (How many times can I say rectangles...?)

Decorate as you wish. I decided my panels needed a little something so I sponged some Pumice Stone softly through the Halftone Hearts Stencil.

The sentiment is mounted with some foam and only from the "N" onwards. This will give it a nice Illusion.

All of the diecuts are raised up with foam as well.

Finish off with some Clear Crystals to bring everything together.

Paper Rose Love and Daydreams Collection | W Gift Card | Fun Fold

Hi All,

Today's card is using products from Paper Rose Studio

Card Size Aus A6 which is 10.5 x 14.9cm (4 1/8 x 5 7/8)

Feature Panel Size 10 x 14.4cm (3 7/8 x 5 9/16)

I originally came across another version of this card from Dawn Griffin but I made a few changes.

I have used 3 pieces of patterned paper as I don't have a lot of 12x12 paper. However if you wish to use a larger piece you will need one that measures 13 x 25 cm. Along the 25cm edge score it at 8,11 and 14cm

The card base is a standard Australian card folded in half.

If you are using 6x6 paper collection you will need:

8cm x 13cm (x3)

Take one and score it on the 8cm side at 1cm, 4cm and 7cm. This will form our middle panel. Fold this to make a unusually W shape. Adhere one of the other pieces to the small tab on the left side. With the remaining piece, measure down the right hand side at 6cm. Use a cutter or ruler and trim off from the top left side down to the mark on the right side and this will be the holder for the gift card.

On the middle panel cut a slit on the tab (small panel on the right side) so you do not see the diagonal panel we just cut when you adhere the holder. Glue the diagonal panel to the tab on the right hand side.

To add this to your card, apply glue to the far left panel and place this in the middle of your card base on the left side. Fold your patterned paper closed. Being careful to only apply glue around the edges so you still have a pocket for your gift card and not along the top edge and then close the back of the card up. Allow to dry. Decorate as you wish.
