JAI #510: Just Add A Fancy Fold

Hi!

Yay, it's one of my favourite times of the week - Just Add Ink time! This week Jo has challenged us to Add A Fancy Fold to our creations!

I do enjoy a good Fancy Fold, although it's been a while since I've made one. I tossed up making a Bridge Fold card using the World Of Good suite, but in the end I reached for my In Good Taste DSP and the Forever Gold Laser Cut Specialty Paper.

 A bit of googling for a Fancy Fold that I hadn't tried before lead me to Qbees Quest and her tutorial for a card she called a Pull Out Fancy Fold Card. It looked a fairly easy one to try, and I was right. I changed mine to a 5" square card, to better suit the Forever Gold element.

I used my Layering Circles Dies to cut a hole in the centre of the In Good Taste DSP, which I then adhered to the Early Espresso card base. I then used the same die to cut a hole in the card base, lined up with the DSP. The same die was also used to crop the centre of the Forever Gold element.

A slightly smaller card base in Whisper White was adhered to the inside of the Early Espresso base, with the front piece folded back on itself. The Gold paper, cropped from the front element, was adhered to the WW flap by lining it up through the front opening.

Here's the card fully open. Another piece of the wood In Good Taste DSP was added to the inside. I think it breaks up the white card nicely.

I quite enjoyed making this Fancy Fold card, so thanks for the challenge, Jo! To see the rest of this week's Design team cards, please pop on over to the Just Add Ink blog. You can also link up your own Fancy Fold card there. Which Fancy Fold will you choose? There are lots to pick from!

Bye for now,
