MAY MADNESS WEEKEND - Fancy Fold card - Circular pocket card




Hello Krafty Friends!

Krafty Girl Danielle C. here with a step by step tutorial
to make a fancy fold card, from a round shape.
You will need:

Cardstock plain, 8 1/2 X 11  - to make base of card, plus enough to make inside cards.
Pattern Paper - for matting ( optional)
Bone folder, Score board, double sided tape.

Cut one 8 1/4 inches diameter circle in plain cardstock.



STEP 1 - score at 1 7/8 and 6 3/8 inches.




STEP 2 - rotate 90 degrees. Score at 2 1/2 inches.



STEP 3 - make folds with bonefolder and cut on the fold line starting where the vertical fold meets the horizontal one, from the inside of the circle towards the outside.






** If you wish to mat the card, do so before following to step 4.  If not, continue to step 4.
Matting instructions :
Cut one 8 inches circle in pattern paper. I have chose a double sided paper, and used both sides. Then,  I measured and cut pieces for the flaps, the inside section, and the bottom flap, and the little corners, guiding myself on the measurements of the previous larger circle, but cutting them slightly narrower. Position the inside matting before gluing the side pannels. Following by both lateral pannels. Mat the lower pannel before closing the little corners. To glue the folds in place, follow instructions beginning on step 4.



Step 4 - Fold the two little flaps obtained towards the front of the bottom section of the card. then place a strip of double sided tape inside, at the bottom of each lateral flaps . indicated by the arrows.









Step 5 - AFter folding  and gluing  the main pannels towards the center of the card,  add tape to the bottom section, and the side of the bottom pannel. Glue in place





Step 6 - Place a strip of tape at the bottom of the little corners only, as indicated by the arrows.







Measurements for Inside cards: made with same cardstock as base  card.



Large one: 4 x 4 1/1 inches; Medium one 3 1/2 X 3 1/2 inches; small: 3 1/2 x 2 inches. I have matted each cards with remaining of my patterned paper.
