What's Up Wednesday ~ Arrow Fold Card

 Welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a Fun Fold pattern I just love to make....and....it's easy, too! It's called an Arrow Fold and with just a couple of quick measurements you have this amazing look!

I've used our March Product of the Month called Notes of Spring. It's an adorable stamp set with woodland animals. Bonus....each animal has its own solid image to quick color it! Of course you can use the outline and color by hand, too. Versatility is fun! With a qualifying order ($75) you can get this exclusive set for only $5! But it's only available during March!

Take a look at this fun inside view! I love how the card pattern looks on the inside. This truly is a fun fold card!

Ok on to the measurements! With a pencil, mark on the inside front of the card base. Measure across the bottom to 2-3/4" (center of card width). Next, measure up the side to 2-1/8". You do not need to draw the line. I just did that to make it easier to see what's happening. OK, SCORE from the side mark to the bottom mark on each side. Next SCORE from the upper corner to the bottom mark. That's it!

For the other layers use a piece of Design Paper  5" x 4" and white card stock 5" x 4". Mark at 2-1/2" on the long side. CUT from the bottom mark to the upper corner on both sides.

Creating the arrow fold: On the score line from the upper corner to the bottom FOLD to the inside. glue to the card front. On the score line from the 2-1/8" mark to the bottom FOLD to the outside. Glue to card front being careful to only out glue along the inside edge. Now do the same on the other side. Ta-da! You now have an arrow fold. 

Use the other pieces to decorate as seen in the photos. For the front I added a layer with the cute fawn. I punched the white and green card stock. since they are the same size I cut the green in half and glued them together with the green showing a the top and bottom for a layered look. As you can see, I also used a few of the images on the inside, too.

I hope you enjoyed my Arrow Fold Card. Give it a try...even if you don't like measuring. It's easy once you give it a try. Have fun!
