Something Saturday - Triangle Fancy Fold Cards

Image
 Hi There Creators Today I thought I'd show off  how to create one of the sets of cards I taught at Craft Alive. If you would like a kit, I do have a few spare left over, so please ask me, I've reduced them down to $20 per kit and you do get full instructions for 4 cards, plus all the "ingredients" to create them and extra cardstock 😃 The Turtles Kit is this one (this is made in the same way as the Fancy Fold Wings Card that you can find the video to here:  https://youtu.be/UdOBtXuOHno Then the Triangle cards that we're concentrating on today.....

Fancy Fold Arrow Card with Video

Hi there Creators

Well.... I found this amazing card on Pinterest (as you do) and thought I've got to have a go at that! it's by Mixed Up Craft, and here's the link: Tricorn Style Fold Card in case you want to see it too, I made mine up from an A5 card as I really hate to waste cardstock by cutting it to inches!  So at some point I might do up a quick video just to convert it to A4 format for you!

Anyway after doing up my draft I then proceeded onto my "proper card" and all was going well till I realised I'd scored it all wrong lol, however as I really don't like to waste cardstock I persevered on with it, and I really liked what I accidentally made, so I figured I'd share it with you, I'm pretty confident you won't find this anywhere else, and if you have a more inspiring name for it than my fancy fold mistake card, please let me know!  I was wondering about Fancy Fold Arrow card, what do you think?

So after all this talking I'm sure you'd much rather see photos!
here is the card I intended to make, the Tricorn Card:
however due to my "specialness" lol I made this card:  I've used the Broadway Bound Designer Series Paper for this one, it's a Specialty paper, with really cool Gold foiling in it!  also used the Balloon Bouquet punch and Piece of Cake bundle.
after having scored it wrong in the first place I figured I could add an extra score line, which is how the arrows at the top and bottom came about!  I think it's kind of cool, what do you think?
I also made another one, cos when you're on a roll.... this one uses the pretty Petal Promenade Designer Series Paper along with the Well Written framelits.

Then finally I decided that I'd better make a video on it, so Voila...
In this one I made this card:
which I have to say out of the the 3 of them is my favourite, the Designer Series Paper is the one from the Sale-a-bration Catalogue Botanical Butterfly DSP, the only way to get this is through a $90 order, and it is really wow!  I've also used the Butterfly Gala bundle (stamp set and punch)

I hope you enjoy this write up and video, do let me know what you think, or if you have a better name for the card than "fancy fold Arrow Card"

I hope it inspires you to create!
God Bless love
