Did you know? Creative Creases Challenge has a new “Anything Goes with a Fun Fold” every other week?  And this is the “every other.”  That means you have two weeks to be inspired by the Design Team and the incredible entries in the gallery…. then to come up with your very own entry. We love to inspire you.

My project this challenge is called a Double Flap card. It’s created almost entirely from the “Expressions of Kindness Kit”. More on that later.

My favorite element of this fold is the middle panel. Why? Because it can be used in so many ways. Here are just a few…

• Attach a photo
• Create a Gift Card holder
• Insert a wonderful sentiment or inspirational quote

Looking from the top down it looks like a normal flap card. The side views show the fun of this fold. 

See what I mean?

Let’s look at the individual flaps.

Flap #2	Base

Beautiful kit, right? Look at those colors!

Paper Cuts:

These cuts are representative of a Double Flap card using any paper you like.  

• Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 7-1/2″ score at 5-1/2″ & 5-7/8″ (Blackberry Bliss CS)
• Top Flap: 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″-  Cut 1 Lost Lagoon Watercolor look Card. Use the back of the card for the Top Flap Mat
• Top Flap Mat: 2-7/8″ x 3-7/8″ – Use the back of the card cut above for this cut.
• Middle Flap Top: 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ – This is cut from one of the envelopes.
• Middle Flap: 3-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ score at 4-3/4″ (Lost Lagoon CS)
• Inside Mat: 3-5/8″ x 4-7/8″ – This is cut from a second Lost Lagoon Watercolor look Card.  You can substitute Basic White for this layer.

Construction:

1. Fold and burnish Card Base on both scores. You’ll create a box effect to make room for a photo or gift card on Flap 2.  If you decide to use only one score, make it at the 5-1/2″ mark.
2. Fold and burnish Middle Flap piece. Set aside.
3. Adhere the Top Flap piece to the corresponding Mat piece. Affix to the Card Base Front Flap about 1/2″ down from the top with Liquid Glue or Tear & Tape. Decorate Top Flap.
4. Adhere Inside Mat to the back of the Middle Flap. Adhere the Middle Flap Top piece. Decorate.
5. Adhere the Middle Flap Assembly to inside of the Card Base.
6. Decorate the inside.

And, now that I’ve typed the instructions, I see that I need a video!  That’s confusing!
