Back to the how to for the third version of my Double W Fold card... This version being a small square (ie 10.5cm aka 4 1/8") card.. 

Craft Spa Recipe - Small Square Double W Fold Card (actually 10.5cm Square)

Craft Spa Instructions -  - Small Square Double W Fold Card
  1. Score 2 larger LANDSCAPE Rich Razzleberry panels at 10.5cm
  2. Score longer Rich Razzleberry panel LANDSCAPE at 21cm  
  3. Valley Fold both "in half"
  4.  Mountain fold thin section on longer piece (aka the glue tab)
  5. Open both out and place stood up in front of you - with the longer piece to the left with the glue tab to the right side... 
  6. Apply glue to the front face of the glue tab... and stick the shorter/RH panel to the tab...

  7. Score the 2 LANDSCAPE shorter Rich Razzleberry panels at 5.25, 10.5 and 15.75cm
  8. Concertina bone fold Valley, Mountain & Valley (as base sections)

  9. Cut the two larger LANDSCAPE paper panels in half to 10cm wide
  10. Adhere to top insides
  11. Adhere 8 paper pieces to inside base sections

    For the 2 left hand sections of the card...
  12. Hold concertina base sections with 2 open edges and folded centre facing to the right
  13. Apply glue to back/bottom face  
  14. Stick concertina section down onto right of right hand section(lining up at the sides and along the bottom edge of the card)
  15. With concertina panel still folded up... apply glue to top face
  16. Close left section of card onto the glued face

  17. Repeat with other concertina panel for 2 right sections of card...sticking the concertina base section (with 2 open edges and folded centre facing to the left) to the left side of the 2 left sections this time... and folding the right section of the card onto the top...

  18. Ink up, stamp, cut and punch as necessary
    I used the A La Mode dies and Alphabest stamp & punch bundle ... along with the 3 x 4.2cm Stitched Rectangle die to cut the white panels - so the mats are 3.5 x 4.7cm in Old Olive(x3), Rich Razzleberry(x3) and Fresh Freesia(x2) 

    Finishing off with  a couple of Fresh Freesia In Color Loose Flower Flourishes  and small punched flowers in Rich Razzleberry and Fresh Freesia (using a long retired punch!). Along with irridescent gems and pearls...

  19.  Decorate card

  3. Hi Amanda...I was just browsing on pinterest and found this card. Really like the way it looks. I live in New York state so am converting it to a size in inches that I can work with and will make it. I don't do stamping so will make everything using clipart etc. Thank you for sharing your design.

  5. As Rhonda says, I too, live in the United States (Illinois down by St. Louis, MO). Like her, I'll also use clipart and whatever I can find, but I'm looking forward to making this card. Got a friend whose birthday is late May, so this will be perfect for her.
    Thanks for posting and I am so glad I found your post!

  7. WOW! Love pop-up type cards and had to make this. My letters are bigger so I didn't add another background but I did use an embossing folder to give it more dimension and lightly brushed the red/green over the letters. Now I need to check out your other cards!
    Thanks!

  9. I am intrigued by your card. It is stunning and very eye catching!! Unfortunately I don’t know how to convert cm to inches. I have some handicaps so difficult for me. Can you help or direct me to how to convert table? Thanks.

  10. I will put a conversion onto my To Do List... though it may be a while...
    PS 1" is 2.5cm if that helps... so a 10.5cm square card is a 4 1/8" square card...
