Center of Attention Fun Fold Card for Creative Creases #108

by

It’s time for a new Creative Creases Challenge starting today! Whether you’re a seasoned card maker or just getting started, I hope this inspires you to play along. I haven’t made a Center of Attention fun fold in soooo long! This fun fold makes such a great display for any special occasion. It looks difficult but it really isn’t. I just love a card that showcases a mix of images and papers.

So, why aren’t you putting your fun fold cards in the gallery? Fun folds are becoming increasingly popular. If you are ready to give one a try, let me know in a comment below. I’m more than happy to help you figure out how to get one started today!

My Secrets!

Let’s start with the card base…

  • Here is Kayla Renee’s tutorial to make the Center of Attention fun fold that I followed. However, as usual, I didn’t quite make the cuts right. Kayla has a great image showing all of the scores and cuts that will help make my instructions understandable. So, here are the instructions for my card:
  • Card Base: Cardstock – 8 x 5-1/2, then:
    • score at 2″ on each end (2 and 6)
    • then, cut the top and bottom of the card at 1″ mark from score line to score line on the 8″ side
    • next, score at the 4″ line in the top and bottom on the 5-1/2″ side
    • finally, score at 3 and 5 in the middle section on the 5-1/2 side
  • Cardstock Panels:
    • 1-3/4 x 5-1/4 (2)
    • 1-3/4 x 3/4 (4)
    • 3-1/4 x 3/4 (2)
    • 3-1/4 x 1-3/4 (1)
  • DSP Panels:
    • 1-5/8 x 5-1/8 (2)
    • 1-5/8 x 5/8 (4)
    • 3-1/8 x 5/8 (2)
    • 3-1/8 x 1-5/8 (1)
  • After all of the papers were cut, I adhered them together and glued them to the card base.

Now, the FUN part!

  • The rest of the card was super quick to finish. I cut out two each of the Charming Day dies in white cardstock.
  • Then, I fussy cut the two flowers from the Florals in Bloom designer paper.
  • After that, I stamped the butterfly from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set (on the Last Chance List). I cropped it out with the coordinating die and again with Shy Shamrock cardstock. They were glued together and adhered to the card base.
  • I stamped the sentiment from the So Sincere stamp set and cropped it out with the Unbounded Love die. It was popped up with dimensionals before layering the two flowers.
  • Finally, I added a few gems to the butterfly and flower for a little sparkle.

I hope to submit this card to the following challenges:

  1. A Perfect Time to Craft
  2. Beautiful Blossoms
  3. Crafty Catz
  4. Die Cut Divas
  5. Ellibelle’s Corner
  6. NBUS (first time to use this patterned paper)
  7. Pammie’s Inky Pinkies
  8. The Paper Funday
