Interactive fold cards

Hello there,

I am here today with a video tutorial post for Craftyscrappers. I have made 2 interactive cards today. The first one is a side step fold card and the second is a center fold card. These are very easy to make and you just need to know the measurements and where to score and where to cut the card stock. 

For these cards, I use heavy base card stock both for the base and the image as well. There is enough space on the inside of the card to write a personal message as well. These are a2 size cards and can also be made in larger size. 

I selected an old stamp set and new release to make these cards.

Card 1 - Side fold step card

For this card, I used the Rapzunel set called - Grow a little everyday. This is one the the first stamp sets I have from craftyscrappers. I used Rapunzel, Flynn Rider and the tower window. I made this card look like she was waiting for her hero. She was sitting in her tower and Flynn was in the forest. 

I created a scene for this card, I added some mountains, grass and some trees. I just wish I could do more with the scene. 

1. The size of the cardstock is 5.5 x 8.5 inch
2. I made a mark at 3" and then marked at 1" and 6.5".
3. Using a trimmer or a craft knife, make a cut from 1" until 6.5".
4. Score the card at 4 1/4" inches (at 2.5 inch side)
5. At the 3" side of the card, score at 1",2",3 1/4",4 1/2" and 6 1/2 " and crease the score as mountain fold and valley fold. 
6. I added the die cuts and images to decorate my card. To finish the card, I added the sentiment.

Card 2 - Center fold card

For this card, I used the You and me set. The images are super cute. I did some masking and stamped the images separately. I also wanted to add a shaker element here so, I made a small heart shaker embellishment in the center of the card and added the images on either side. 

1. The size of the cardstock is 5.5 x 8.5 inch
2. I made a mark at 1 1/4" on both side at the 5.5 inch side. 
3. Using a trimmer or a craft knife, make a cut from 1"to 5 1/4". I marked them using a pencil, so its easy to cut them out. 
4. Score from both ends at 1", 2" and 5 1/4". Mark with a pencil to make the scoring easy. 
5. Score only in the middle at 4 1/4" (exactly at the center to make the card fold)
6. To make the shaker heart, I used heart die and craft foam. I added two layers of craft foam to make the shaker. Used tacky glue as an adhesive. 
7. I added all the elements to the card and finished it by adding the sentiment.
