Mini Explosion Card for Fancy Fold Friday

 
Oh I couldn't wait to make one of the Turkish Map Fold cards... this prototype being dressed up for a birthday... but this would make a super quick Valentine card if you are not ready for Tuesday!

NOTE FOR THE RECORD Jan 2022- I first found this paper fold on Craftsy.com in a Jan 2016 post... but they appear to have closed down the post (for free access)...  so I have amended the link to a later tutorial by fellow Stampin up demonstrator, Julie at The Paper Pixie...

Take a 6" square piece of paper... so any of the 6" square paper packs are perfect for the job, such as Sending Love used here... and fold as directed here... I just added an extra fold at the 4 corners... folding the peaks back on themselves to show a bit of the other side of the paper when open... 

My folded insert is then popped into an 8cm (3 3/8") square Whisper White card blank ...

Which is in turn popped into a Real Red 8.5x9cm card blank (17x9cm card scored LANDSCAPE at 8.5cm) (OR 3 1/2" x 3 3/8" card blank - 6 3/4" x 3 3/8" Scored LANDSCAPE at 3 3/8"). 

Inside finished off with a white embossed greeting from Big on Birthdays... though not very clear on the photos!

And on the front... Sahara Sand mat 3 x 2 3/4", Paper 2 3/4" x 2", Whisper White strip 3 3/4" x 5/8".

Front finished off with  Sahara Sand and Real Red Sealed With Love hearts and a greeting from Sale A Bration Designer Tee (yours for free with a £45 order!) - and Linen Thread... 

Gorgeous little card with a big WOW on opening! And a few more already made!!! They are so quick! And yes I do have envelopes to fit too!
