Fun Fold Friday - Classic Letters Double W Fold Card...

Another version of this Regency Park card... to showcase the new Online Exclusives Classic Letters  stamp set...

And for those of you that don't have this fabulous alpha-numeric set yet... a few features to highlight....

• Letter size about 1" (2.5cm)  H
• Spot the leaf details (I didn't on first view...but love this featuure to dress up my letters!)
• two A,L and P which really helps when setting up some words!

Though I will admit that I wouldn't use such a dark green for the leaves in the future ... but I had to use the green (Shaded Spruce) to match the papers! Should have stamped off... But at least you can see the leaves feature clearly!

And a quick update re blogging frequency going forward... Still not able to get back to daily blogging! The new PC and set up is making most things 100x faster than before... but I have a few issues to resolve before I can truly get up to speed! So getting there... but will still be a while! In the meantime I am trying to get back to posting 2-3 time a week... couple of projects  - usually including a tutorial - and a featured suite - or bundle... 

Tuesday Tutorial - Extra Small Square Double W Fold Card #4

Carrying on with my Double W Fold Card series... with the fourth size variant so far... standing in at a mini 7.4cm (c3") square when folded... 

This is the easiest version so far... and one that makes best use of a piece of A4 card... giving you two cards from one piece of A4...

Click here for another version/decoration using the Perfectly Pencilled papers shared last week... with  more straightforward punched greeting circles...

Craft Spa Instructions -  - Extra Small Double W Fold Card ( aka 7.4cm Square)

1. Score LANDSCAPE Night of Navy panel at 7.4, 14.8 and 22.2cm 
2. Concertina Fold (Valley, Mountain, Valley)
   
   
3. Cut the two Top (Floral) LANDSCAPE paper panels in half to 7cm wide
4. Adhere to top insides
   
   
5. Fold the Base section (Dots) papers in half as a mountain fold (with dots on the outside)
6. Fold each side up in half again (to form a valley either side AKA a W shape)
   
   For the 2 left hand sections of the card...
7. Hold concertina base sections with 2 open edges and folded centre facing to the right
8. Apply glue to back/bottom face  
9. Stick concertina section down onto right of right hand section (lining up with the Top paper panels at the sides and the sme gap along the bottom edge of the card)
10. With concertina panel still folded up... apply glue to top face
11. Close left section of card onto the glued face
    
    
12. 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...
    
    
13. Ink up, stamp, cut and punch as necessary
    I used the Alphabest stamps ... along with the 1" (retired SU!) and EK Success 1 1/8" & Dotty 1" Circle Punches to punch the greeting and the Balmy Blue and Night of Navy mats...
    And the BIRTHDAY greeting is from Enjoy The Rhythm
    
    I would have added some Petal Park flowers... but time was of the essence for my class so I kept things as simple as they can be...
    
    
14. Decorate card
    Again I kept the front as simple as I could for this one
