How to make the card.

It's after 11:00 PM but I hadn't gotten something posted for today earlier.

I like to make fancy fold cards for the grandchildren.  In September I made made a "Squeezebox card" after watching a video from Rita Holmes.  That one will go our grandson.  Then I saw that Susan Campfield also had a video with virtually the same directions.  (VIDEO)  

The directions on both use a 3" x 5 1/2" piece of dsp on the front.  I didn't want the back side of that piece to show, so I cut a 6" x 5 1/2" piece, scored it at 3" and fold it.

Now I can officially say that the Halloween cards for the grandchildren and mailing list are completed.  Thank you for coming by today!  

A few days ago I made two cards like this for two of our grandchildren.  I actually saw two videos making this card but I could only find one of them to link here.  

While watching and making the card along with the video, I "thought I knew" what I was doing and had it all finiished except for the "wiper".  WRONG MOVE!  If you make one of these, do not attach the left side to the front until after the wiper piece has been attached.

I made two of this "accordion fold".  This dsp was a fun when to use for this type of card.  Two of our grandchildren will be getting these.

The paper I used measured 12" x 3".  It is scored at 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,8 and 9.  The 3" sections on each end get glued down.  For full directions, you can do a search on YouTube for "accordion card".

I have pretty much used up the Wonderful World dsp.  There are a few odds and ends left but not sure if I will deal with them.  This had been "free" paper in a Sale-A-Bration so if the rest gets tossed it will be no loss.  For now I am putting this collection aside.

There were two sheets with these tiny flowers.  Susan Stampfield had a video making cards like this so I made these six cards with her idea.
