Cool card fold
Ok, I know I'm a day late, but that's pretty good for me. lol I promised I'd share this cool fold on Monday. When you see the attached pictures at the bottom it will be much clearer than the printed instructions here.
Cut your cardstock to the standard card size of 8.5X5.5 Score horizontally at 2.75, vertically at 2.75 and 4. Score diagonally out from the middle from 4 to 2.75 (when you see the picture, you'll understand) Valley fold the vertical scores at 2.75 and 4, then mountain fold the horizontal score from 4 to the end. Mountain fold the diagonal scores as well. After the last picture shown, you just fold the long part of the card down and the big part up and together. To keep the square part together, I put a pop dot between them. I hope these instructions all make sense, but if for some reason they don't, just pm me and I can help.

OK, I did a mock-up. But, I don't get it. When I open the card, the whole square thingy just unfolds and when I close it, it doesn't exactly go back into place. But, if I were to glue it down, then I cannot open the card very wide at all.
Is that the way it's supposed to be???

Well...I just got my husband involved as I could not figure it out. He insists that a step or two is missing. Has anyone else figured it out?

Thank you. That really is one cool card. I too had to go look in the gallery. The thumbnails seemed to stop just before I could figure it out. LOL

Question...do you fold it into a card first...then do the directions posted? Maybe it is the hour...brain is just not working.

I figured out if you just glue the top square you can open it up just fine.
As to the last post...go to the link of the halloween picture...take a good look at where the edges are on the square...the folded part and the open part...that helped me...all of a sudden it will happen for you. It also helped to score every line you see on the sample. Good luck!

Thanks! One question though!
Thank you so much for posting the instructions! You are awesome. I love gadgety cards!
I just wanted to make sure I got it though! When you open it to write a message inside, is the inside the bottom/underside of the mountain. . . basically behind the "creeping by with a Halloween hi"? When opened is it a tall skinny card about 5 1/2" wide by 5 3/4" tall folded in half vertical (with diagonal creases at bottom)?
If I'm way off, would somebody mind posting what a final one looks like opened?
Thanks so much!!! -Donna

BINGO!!! I have finally figured it out  Thank you, Tracy, for sharing directions for this darling card!
I did all the folds exactly as Tracy has described. I then opened my card back out... laying it flat and in the very same position as the first attachment. Valley fold beteen the two squares... valley fold running across the card at the 2.75 point... then my mountain folds that are diagonal. You will see a TRIANGLE formed.
I placed adhesive within that TRIANGLE ... and only within that triangle... I then folded the two squares (towards the right) flat against the triangle... and pressed to adhere them.
The left side is now overlapping towards the right... and glued in place. I then redid my MOUNTAIN fold the full length of the card. Forming a long, slender card.
I then held the top right corner of my card beteen my thumb and finger... gently pushing downward on the left corner... allowing the diagonal folds to return to the original card design.
My card now opens and closes just like a regular card
Hoping this helps.

cool! thanks for posting directions on how to make this card fold, tracy. I just had to try it! here is a link to my card. I used a paperclip hidden underneath the pop out square to temporarily hold the card together while taking the pic. (if you glue it down, you won't be able to open it to write inside the card.)
you rock!

I think what confused me at first was the center score line down the length of the card. You have to first get the valley folds on the vertical lines (2.75 & 4) and mountain fold the diagonal lines. Then valley fold the center fold down to the first vertical (2.75 fold) and mountain fold from the 4" vertical line to the end of the card--it then compresses into the card. I was also a bit confused by sticking down the square which wouldn't permit you to open the card fully. It's a cute free-standing card with the square left loose. Would make really great invitation cards to a party. Always enjoy making unique folds like this and the neverending card. Folks really get a kick out of them. Thanks so much for sharing.

Fought with it for hours then all of a sudden - it folded into place. Cool - but a little small. HAve any pointers on larger measurments to grow it a little? Thanks - it is a cool card fold.

How neat!
I'm at work so only have VERY limited supplies to make a mock-up for practice (ie: paper and pen!). Maybe this will help visualize how the card is folded. I've scanned my mock-up, open, closed, folded, unfolded. Hopefully it will make sense! See the attachments below.
Please forgive my sketches - this is why I LOVE my rubber stamps! LOL! |
