Good morning! And welcome to the Funky Folds Blog Hop! We are a group of like-minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky folds. Funky actually means “modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way”… so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait or landscape style. Think ‘easel’, ‘pop-up’, ‘gatefold’, ‘z-fold’, ‘shaped’ or 3D cards etc. The list is endless. All Blog Hops have an ‘anything goes’ theme using any type of ‘funky’ card fold!
I chose a very complicated fun fold — not really!! It’s really just a “stepped up” z-fold!! (5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 2 1/8″ and 4 1/4″) I received this card at a swap at OnStage way back in March, and just now remade it for my club–they love fun folds!! It really shows off this beautiful Flowering Zinnias Designer Series Paper!
You can see below that we’ve added a “post” inside the card to create another “layer”. It measures 5 1/2″ x 3″, and is scored at 3/4″ , 1 1/2″ and 2 1/4″. Then, you add the center square to this. The decorations are all cut from the designer series paper–mounted on Basic White and Melon Mambo card stock!
Be sure you follow along below! There’s sure to be a load of inspiration for you!!
