Fun Fold Friday - For The Guys Bridge Fold Trio

Finished off some alternatives for the samples made as I "tweaked along"... so one became three....

But first apologies as I have still not "turned off the Feedburner blog notification feed"... I will as soon as I find out what to do! Or they may turn it off first at this rate!! 

But please ensure you subscribe to the follow.it feed if you still wish to see my blog posts.... Add button/form down the right hand side of this blog if there isn't an obvious button within the emails... Thank You...

Click HERE to see the original and for more information...

But basically the Thank You one has wider panels and front stuck on to create the scene... which would have meant some trimming in class... so I decided to change that...

The Happy Birthday one has narrower panels and front... so there is more gapping (vanilla space!)

So I decided on the in between for the final version... ie the Happy Anniversary one shared here

Friday Five Panel Fun Fold Card

Another alternative card using scraps of the For The Guys card kit... Click HERE for a quick Tutorial...

Searched the internet for a name and other creations for this simple little fold... to no avail... much to my surprise... 

So I will simply call this what it is... a Five Panel card... 

Though I did have a few more names... but  I will keep one of those for a special series one day!!

And I have to admit that this came about due to a mistake making my Bridge Fold card... 

Especially as we all preferred this fold... so you will no doubt be seeing a few more from time to time... along with a tutorial as I actually tweaked the final measurements for class to make things neater... but I forgot to re-take new photos!

And I wonder if you can guess what the "initiating mistake" was!!? 

Note that I am sharing 2 versions for you today... for those that think that may be seeing things! One with and then one without the Sailing Home yacht...

Magnolia Lane Flap Fold Card OR Mini Book

Front View

Wanted to make one of these for many a year... and now I finally have... as the Magnolia Lane papers seemed so perfect for the job.... just a few scores and cuts... and a bit of sticking and there you have it...

Front View

Ready to end as a special card for a special someone... or to add photos as and where you please...

Closed View

Link to the french Tutorial I used here... with the diagram to be found here... although I think the originator was a "Giniew" back in June 2010... but whose IP address isn't available anymore...

And I have to laugh at all the names used for this fold over the years! Quad Fold, Tri Fold, Flap Fold, Flip Book, Accordion Pop Up to name but a few! So take your pick!

Though note that I used the same sized mats and panels on those central left and right sections... rather than the half panels most people seem to use...

Back view

Easier for me from a prepping point of view... and looks a bit neater ( if you get it right!) However it does mean you need to be much more careful ... sticking just half the panel first and then putting glue on the other half and closing the book back to lay flat....
