Hexagon Fun Fold Card Instructions
Materials Needed:
• Base Card: 4 1/4” x 5 3/8” (score each end at 3/4”).
• Strips: Two pieces of 1 1/4” x 7” cardstock (score at 3/4” and 2 1/2”, then flip and repeat on the other side).
• Designer Series Paper (DSP): 4x4
• One piece white 4” x 4” (for the back sentiment panel).
• Six strips 1” x 1 3/4” (for the 1 1/4” x 7” strips; trim if needed).
• Two pieces 3/4” x 4 1/4” (for the side panels).
• Die cuts from the Mixed Media Floral suite.
• Sentiment stamp and coordinating die.
• Blends for coloring.
• Adhesive.
Steps:
1. Prepare the Base Card:
• Score the base card at 3/4” on each end and fold the score lines. Burnish them well with a bone folder.
2. Prepare the Strips:
• Take the two 1 1/4” x 7” strips and score at 3/4” and 2 1/2”. Flip the strip and repeat the scoring on the other side. Burnish the score lines.
3. Adhere the Designer Series Paper (DSP):
• Glue the 4” x 4” white piece to the back of the card base where your sentiment
will go.
• Adhere the six 1” x 1 3/4” DSP strips to the corresponding sections on the two 1 1/4” x 7” strips.
• Attach the two 3/4” x 4 1/4” DSP pieces to the side panels of the base card.
Attach the 4 x4 DSP to the inside of the card base.
4. Assemble the Hexagon Fold:
• Glue the two 1 1/4” x 7” strips to the base card to form the hexagon shape. Ensure all folds align properly.
5. Decorate the Card:
• Die-cut an image from the Mixed Media Floral suite, color it is using your Blends, and adhere it to the front panel of the card.
• Stamp your sentiment and cut it out using a coordinating die. Adhere it to the front of the card as well.
6. Final Touches:
• Double-check all layers are secure, and ensure the card folds neatly into the hexagon shape.
