Welcome to the Christmas Funky Folds Blog Hop for 2024.
We are a group of like minded paper crafters who love to make projects 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 … and it now includes journals, albums etc.
Usually our Blog Hops have an ‘anything goes’ theme using any type of ‘funky’ fold but this time around we are choosing someone else’s card fold from a previous hop and making a Christmas Themed Project.
I chose Cindy Mitchell-Clark’s project from the September Funky Folds Blog Hop as I’ve been wanting to try a W-Fold for a while. My version features the Woodland Christmas 6×6 paper collection and embossed die-cuts from Paper Rose Studio.
Make sure you check out Cindy’s Video Tutorial to see how a W-Fold Card is constructed. I’ve added the basic measurements here for easy reference –
- Base Card: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ White Cardstock ~ scored at 2-1/8″, 4-1/4″ & 6-3/8″
- Layer 1: 6 patterned pieces 5-1/4″ x 1-7/8″
- Layer 2: 6″ x 3″ White Cardstock ~ scored at 3″
- Layer 3: 2 patterned pieces 2-3/4″ x 2-3/4″
For the fourth layer, I chose to add some cute critters from the pack of Woodland Christmas Embossed Die-Cuts and added a tag and a couple of candy canes from the same collection, to the card front.
