Recently I saw a card on Pinterest using this fold. It was so pretty! I found several YouTube videos and each seemed to use different measurements so I pulled out some papers that I wasn't really fond of to experiment. It took several tries before I got it right. Some of the ones I tried didn't go from edge to edge even though I had used the measurements furnished.
Once I found one that worked really well, I needed to find just the right double-sided designer paper in my "stash". The measurements I chose use a piece which is 11 1/2" x 4" which gives you enough to make 3 cards from one sheet. However, I found that I was 1/2" short of reach completely across the card so I left it 12" x 4" and it came out just right.
To cover the top edge you could add a pretty ribbon but I chose to use a punched scallop. The dragonfly is a Stampin' Up! die cut. I didn't want to add the sentiment in black with such a soft color on the dp. It looked very close to SU Baja Breeze....which turned out to be a little brighter but still worked.
If you want a link to the directions I used for this fold, just let me know. Thank you for coming by!
