Black, White and Red

Edited to add:
After finally finding the instructions for the fold on Google, it would seem that the card fold is called 'Pop Up Cube Card'.  Although these aren't the instructions I followed, here is a link how to make it.
https://dawnsstampingthoughts.net/2020/07/pop-up-cube-card-video.html

 I've no idea what this card fold is called, if anyone knows please leave me a comment.  I followed a Kanban Crafts video tutorial on their Facebook page.  Basically the card base is three rectangles cut from two A4 sheets of card, scored and stuck together.

It's a perfect design for using up little snippets and I put a dent in my piles of patterned paper and red card snippets.  The flowers were made with punches and I embossed all the red card with a Couture Creations 'Fireflies' embossing folder.  The sentiment was typed on the computer and punched with a SU punch.


What I like about this card is that it is easier to make than it looks and folds flat for posting.   I love making cards with fancy folds, so I'll be sharing my card over in the Country View Challenge where the theme is 'Do What Makes You Happy'.

    Fantastic Liz, what a great make and as you say ideal for using up snippets too.

    Definitely a new one on me - very interesting fold, great for using up snippets and if it folds flat even better.

    This is a coincidence as I have just seen this card shape on two challenge sites and when I have drilled down could find no instructions on how to make them. I will have to investigate further. Your red, white and black card looks superb. Hugs Mrs A.

    You are so clever with your paper engineering Liz and love the grey and red combination and some pretty punched flowers and dry embossing too. x
