Double Dutch Card Tutorial

Happy Wednesday blogging friends!

Today I have another fancy fold tutorial to share with you.  And as I have said before, the original tutorial came from Splitcoast Stampers Resources but I know not everyone is a member of SCS so I'm just wanting to share some of these fabulous tutorials with all of you.  You can also click the TUTORIALS TAB (below my header) to see more creations using this folding style.

When I was at Joan's Gardens in Indiana last week visiting with some 'past and new' crafting friends, one lady (waving Hi to Jayne ...) asked me if I'd do a tutorial on my DOUBLE DUTCH cards.  So, here we go ...


These are the cards I made today ... you can go as fancy or as plain as you desire.

SUPPLIES:
One 4 3/16" x 9" piece of cardstock for card base - Scored at 5 1/2"
One 2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock for Dutch Fold bottom - Scored at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8"
 One 4" x 3 1/4" piece of cardstock OR patterned paper for your layer (unless you border punch your front flap, then this panel will be slightly smaller)
Scoring Tool
Adhesive
Your choice of Images or Die Cuts



Using your choice of adhesive (I like score tape for this job), adhere your 2" x 8 1/2" gate folded piece of cardstock to the lower BACK of your base card panel.





This fancy fold is easy to do and is a nice change from the usual single fold cards people are used to receiving!  Why not give it a try today and if you do, I'd LOVE to see what you create!  Please feel free to leave me a comment here on my blog OR you can email me direct at akadafney@yahoo.com

Products I have used for my creations are:
Papers:  White cardstock, KaiserCraft 'The Lake House' designer paper, Silver metallic cardstock
Ink:  Versafine black
Stamps:  Repeat Impressions, Serendipity, Stamps Happen, Inc, Crafty Secrets 'Angel Blessings' & 'Grand Greetings'
Accessories:  Martha Stewart Doily Lace border punch, Kaiser pearls, Martha Stewart Butterfly punch, Spellbinder Classic Circle dies, Spellbinder Beaded Circle die, Michaels Holiday wired silver ribbon, Prismacolor markers, Silver Sakura Jelly Roll Glitter pen

Qualifying Challenges for these creations are:

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you've found inspiration in my creations.
Until next time ...
