Happy first Monday in June to you - although with 5 Mondays in May, that means we're already nearly a week into June! Thank you to Jean for moving this challenge for me.
I thought that the recent
W Fold tutorial in the Weekly Inkling looked like fun and something easy - and it was both. I was even able to adapt it to metric measurements with no measuring, so to speak. The W element was simply the same length as my card, scored into 4 even quarters and I was able to eyeball it on the ScorPal. It gives you the fun part of four different panels which the twisted pop-up card has, but without the work of making the twist and pop base.
The tutorial is HERE:
W Fold Card
There are a few cards already in the Technique Spotlight gallery:
W Fold Gallery
Don't forget to make sure yours show up there too - choose Technique Spotlight from the first dropdown menu, and W Fold from the second menu.
Check out the options suggested at the end - you can make the card either landscape or portrait mode. Because of the direction my birds were facing, I thought landscape worked better so that they were looking at each other. You can use other shapes than a square - I'm sure you could even mix and match. If necessary you could make your "W strip narrower, or cover it with pretty DP if more of it is going to show if you use a circle or an oval, for example.
