Folder Card

A folder card is perfect for wrapping small gifts, for example a packet of coffee & tea bags, or photos. You have 2 in 1, simple as that!!! Both a card and a gift bag Smile

Requirements
1 x cardstock
Double-sided tape
Patterned paper scraps
Alphas
Ink

Step by Step

1. Cut cardstock as follows:
1 x 30cm x 14cm
2 x 5.5cm x 7cm

Score the large piece of cardstock (on the wrong side) 6cm from the bottom edge and 10cm from the top edge. Fold firmly along the score marks.

2. Score the smaller pieces in 1cm intervals along the 7cm length. Fold along the score marks, concertina style, ti give 3 peaks and 2 valleys.

3.Apply double sided tape to the outer folds on both of the concertinas. Align the concertina with the edge of the centre panel at the 6cm score end. Adhere the concertina to the centre panel on both sides.

3. Fold up the 6cm extension and adhere to the concertina fold.

4. The finished folder card before decoration.

5. Decorate the inside and outside of your card. Ink around the edges.

My challenge is to create a decorated folder card. No other requirements.
Have fun!!
