Tuesday Tutorial - A6 Double Fan Fold Card


Quickly coming back to the True Love A6 Double Fan Fold card I posted last Friday... with the A6 recipe and measurements for the A4 cardstock users... 

Edited to Add...But before I start... Free Shipping tomorrow... for orders £35+... 24 hours only... starting at 11pm tonight for us in the UK... 

And I have added the links to more detailed tutorials at the end for those of you that haven't made a Double Fan Fold card before... I used Carole's tutorial as my base for this size as it is the most similar... and there are some very useful photos in her post to make the steps clearer... 


Recipe

Basic Black cardstock 14.8 x 19cm.
Basic White cardstock 6.5 x 14.3cm (for back of card)

Tutorial

(1) Score Black card panel when LANDSCAPE (ie 19cm length along top) at 3, 6, 13 &16 cm

(2) Score - when LANDSCAPE (ie 19cm length along top) - from upper left corner (0) to bottom 6cm score line (ie 2nd score line from left). Then score from top 6cm (2nd) score line to bottom left corner (0)

(3) Now score from upper 13cm score line (ie 3rd from left) to bottom right (19cm) corner. Then score from upper right corner (19cm) to bottom left 13cm (3rd) score line.

Cut the paper pieces at a diagonal…

(4) For the 4 small Short Side triangles… When PORTRAIT (ie narrow 2.5cm side along top) - cut from upper left corner to lower right corner for 2 of the pieces. Then, cut from upper right corner to bottom left corner for the remaining 2 pieces
