March already!! Is it coming in like a lion or a lamb for you? I'll report back on what it was here after work - at the time of writing I will be hoping for a lamb because it's easier cycling in to work when it's not so windy.
I thought we would try a fold this week - one that I actually managed to try on the day it came out in the Inkling - the
Pop-Up Flip Card .
I really enjoyed making it, and hope you will too.
The tutorial shows a circle, but you can use other shapes; I jumped in and tried a square for my first attempt the day it was posted.
Should you prefer to have your DP running all the way down to the centre fold on the inside, I'm adding an attachment showing you how I did that. I've also saved it as a Google doc which you can access
HERE.
Another option is Kim's Hydrangea card, where she simply extended the pop-up element to be the full width of the card - you can see her example
HERE.
I found it very easy to adapt to metric measurements simply using a standard A5 card.
Anita shared these measurements that she used:
Quote:
| A5 fold double, dp 10/14.4 cm on the front; the inside I've cut 7.5cm/14.4 cm same for the bottom. I've made the center part as large as the card base using 10/14.9 scored at 2.5, 5 and 7.5 cm, I've kept 1.5 cm at each side on the top 2.5cm strip and cut off the left over |
