Default HELP!! instructions for magic(?) square

Hi I am hoping that someone can help with instructions or template to make what I call a magic square. It is just a square of card folded so that the side flaps and top and bottom flaps can fold back continuously. It sort of works on the same principal as jacobs ladder but without the ribbon!! I hope someone can understand what I mean and direct me to the right place!! Thanks

Is this what your are talking about? The never ending card? Here is a video:

Here's a link to the one I saw on the Carol Duvall Show. I've made this one, and her directions are very good. http://www.hgtv.com/decorating/never...ard/index.html Have fun!

I'm not really computer savvy and have never uploaded a pic to a forum so not quite sure how best to go about it!

Well managed to upload some pics. They have appeared right at the end of the techniques gallery because I couldn't find a sub category to fit!! LOL!! Should be able to find them searching for a "never ending card"

I love making these cards. There is certainly a "Wow factor" with them.

If anyone wants good directions with good photos, and they have the book PAPERCRAFTING WITH CAROL DUVALL, look on page 124. It shows how to do it using photographs for one card, and rubber stamps with another card. On her photo version, Carol managed to put 23 photos on it. It would make a great brag book type card.

Thank you SO much for the video. I've been searching for a couple of days, trying to find a good tutorial, but none of them have photos, let alone a video. They were all drawings. I watched this once and turned right around and made a card. Love it!
