Want a card that can be simple and elegant at the same time ? This is for you!
Materials:
- cardstock
- x-acto knife
- ruler
- a pencil
Note : this only show you how to make a card , not how to decorate it ^~^
Step 1:
Cut out a piece of cardstock or paper into a piece of 12 in. by how wide you want your card to be !
Step 2:
Use a ruler and pencil to mark at : 2,4,8,and 10 inches . Draw a line across the cardstock and fold on the lines drawn
Step 3:
Make two cuts from 2 inches to 10 inches . One cut on the top and one on the bottom ! You can use an x-acto knife for this
Step 4 :
Ok now refold the creases , BUT for the creases on the "cut out " shape on the card , fold them the opposite way ( -_- it's hard to explain ...)
Mountain fold , the pattern for card ( except for the part that is seperate from the card ?) will be up, down , up, down .
For the seperated part of the card , the patter will be down , up , down, up
Step 5:
Close the card slowly to make sure that everything is doing what it suppose to do !
Now decorate , add some nice words and you're done !!! ^~^
If you find this confusing , please leave a comment to let me know ! I'll probably post a video about this to YouTube
Have fun my CRAFTERS !!!!!!! ;)
