Owl Fun Fold

Happy Monday!  Hoping the new year has brought you happiness so far!  Today I wanted to show you something I made with last month's CTMH's Stamp Of The Month - Owl Love You Forever (it was delivered yesterday).  I did a fun fold called a Tower Fun Fold.  This folds into a 5.5" x 4.25" card/envelope.  I thought I'd share the measurements so you could try one too, it's really not hard at all!!  :)  First, let me show you what the card looks like:



Card Base – 5.5 x 8.25 score at 1”, 2”, 3”, 5.25, 6.25, 7.25”

Cut from 1-3” and 5.25-7.25” lines at 1” and 2” then turn the card and do the same to the other side.

Using the bone folder, fold the two outside score lines on both sides (not the inside score line).  Fold the sides to be ‘mountain/valley’ fold with the center being mountain.  Go back over the folds using your bone folder.  Should end up looking like two capital letter E’s back to back.  Add your **layers and decorate.

**LAYERS:

Cut at 2-1/4” x 5-1/2” (back of card) bottom layer 2-1/8 x 5-3/8 top layer

Cut at 1-1/4 x 4 (center)

Cut 2 at ¾ x 4 (top & bottom)

Cut 2 at ¾ x 5-1/4 (sides)

3 squares 2-5/8” 2 in 1 color and another in a different color


I hope this all makes sense?  I hope I get the chance to see what you make!!


Thanks for looking!
