Folded Squares Card

By Einat Kessler

 

“Hi dear crafty friends! Einat Kessler here with a new project. Today I’m sharing a really cool, but easy fancy fold Christmas card.

 

I created this card with the Winter Wonderland paper collection, which I absolutely love! I don’t celebrate Christmas, being Jewish… so this is the type of paper collection I can really relate too. It’s full of winter images, snow and beautiful greenery but it has such a warm feeling. Makes me want to have some tea every time I see it 🙂

 

 

The card looks kind of simple on the outside but when you open it…WOW! It opens up into a really beautiful and impressive inside!

 

The inside is colorful and has some fussy cutting images on it. I also made sure to leave one square with a solid color for a hand written blessing.
 

 

 

Tip #1: All of G45 papers have beautiful images on them. Don’t be afraid to cut them into pieces and create your own image!

 

Tip #2: When creating a card make sure to create it in a size that can fit into an envelope so you’ll be able to send it to someone special.

Start with a piece of white cardstock measuring 8 3/4" X 9 1/4". On the long side you will score it at 1 3/4", 3.5, 5 1/4", 7” and 8 3/4". On the short side the score lines have to be as follows: 1 3/4", 3.5, 5 1/4", 7”. Once ready, cut according to what you see in the picture. The rest of the process is all about embellishing and having a creative fun.
