Four Corner Fold Card

Fall is coming! I LOVE Fall - the colors, the smells, the decorations and especially the weather!! So we'll anticipate Fall today with this fun Four Corner Fold card. I used the Stampin' Up Pretty Pumpkins stamp and Detailed Pumpkins coordinating dies for this card. I also used Beauty of the Earth Designer Series Paper and the Rainbow Glimmer paper.

Take a look at the card then I'll give you the dimensions for this unique fun-fold card.

This card uses an 8 1/2 x 5 1/2 Crumb Cake card base. The colored cardstock is 4 x 5 1/4 Soft Succulent. The squares of designer series paper are each 2 1.2 x 1 7.8. You will use both sides so make sure you like both. The center piece is 1 3/4 x 1 3/4. The template you will use for the corners is a scrap of cardstock (any color) measuring 2 1/2 x 1 7/8 (same as DSP). I cut my pumpkins from the Rainbow Glimmer paper, used a retired Fall colored ribbon measuring 8" and Holiday Rhinestones.

First adhere the 4 x 5 1/4 piece of cardstock to the card base. Take your template piece, a ruler and a pencil. Measure 1 1/4" from the top right corner down and put a mark. Go back to the same corner and measure the same distance to the left across the top and put a mark. Line the two marks up on your trimmer and cut - you're cutting out that top right corner.

Position your four pieces of Designer Series Paper around the card front the way you want them. Then using your template, fold each of the corners around the center, turning and flipping your template over to fit each piece.

Once you have each of the four corners turned down and positioned around the center, adhere these pieces to your card front, leaving a small edge around the outside.

Next stamp your 1 3/4 x 1 3/4 center piece and attach it to the center with dimensionals. Embellish and you have your card!
