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...

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

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

Fun Fold Friday - True Love A6 Double Fan Fold

Quickly popping on with another of the Double Fan Fold cards I made with the True Love pack of papers... 

Though I have just realised that this one is my A6 version from A4 card... so let me know in the comments if you are interested in the recipe and instructions... but I'll have to come back another day with those...

But for a young man this time soI didn't want any flowers... but as always ... the Stitched Stars dies came to the rescue... where would I be for the menfolk  - and for congratulations cards - without them!! Oh and the retired Large Letters of course - definitely can't be without those!

So it's a very happy 21st birthday Tom... from us to you... 

And remember I have put a True Love co-ordinated Paper Kit together for those of you that want to try without buying everything! Next Close date 22 March. Click here for more details... and scroll down...

Another lovely Double Fan Fold  card... resized for standard envelopes this time... as per Carole Baumgartner's tutorial here...(which in turn was a resized CASE of this card by Tina Shaw shared the month before) though I just used the foiled mat dimensions for the decorative papers... as I only used papers...

Hearts Come Home Special Christmas Card

... to me ... from Barbara...

Isn't this just stunning...

And I have to add...  that I think that the stamped and glittered houses panel is the nicest use I have seen of the house stamps in Hearts Come Home...

So I just had to share this before I start sharing (the somewhat more simple) projects I have made this week... Been a busy busy week!! On all fronts...

Thank you again Barbara... just beautiful... I feel SO honoured...

As simple as simple can be... a stamped image and greeting... black on white... not a lot more I can say...
