Funky Fold blog hop - with Elegant Pines Snowflakes

Hello and Welcome to Handmade by Julia Quinn.

Tonight I'm hopping with an awesome bunch of talented crafters who love dabbling with folds!!  

We are a group of like-minded paper crafters who love to make cards with funky folds. Funky actually means "modern and stylish in an unconventional or striking way"... so we are featuring cards that are not your usual rectangle/square portrait or landscape style. Think 'easel', 'pop-up', 'gatefold', 'z-fold', 'shaped' or 3D cards etc. The list is endless. 

All Blog Hops have an 'anything goes' theme using any type of 'funky' card fold.

I don't know the name of this fold - it is some sort of interlocking gate fold which works out really nicely when it closes up and locks together.

The card opens out with the writing panel in the middle and then both sides fold in with the overlapping parts linking together.

The card base is:

14.9 x 26cm scored at: 4, 8, 18, 22cm givinng you a central writing panel of 14.9 x 10cm

The overlapping panels are both 10 x 6.5cm each.  I also made the white inside panel the same size.

Here's a couple of photos showing the card from the top so you can see a bit of an idea how it locks together.  The panel on the right has been raised using Stampin' Dimensionals along the outside edge so the other piece can tuck underneath it.

Make sure you keep hopping to see lots of amazing inspiration just for you!
