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.

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'.

I am joining in the following challenges:

  5. 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.
