Grad Card

Image
By Cindy
Hey kids!  Cindy back on the SBC blog today.  I have a fun fold graduation card to share.  I saw a video on Utube for this cardbase but I lost it.  And I'm getting old I guess--because I can't remember the name of the fold.  Don't you hate that???!!!  LOL!!  If anyone knows what the name of this fold is please put a note in the comments :-)  This is an easy one!!

TiP:  You may want to include a journaling spot in your design on this card.

This is a side view of the card base.

 Start with a piece of cardstock that is 5 1/2 x 11 1/4".  Score at 4 1/4, 8 1/2, 9 1/2, 10 1/2.
 Fold at 4 1/4.  Make a mountain fold at 8 1/2" score line.
 Valley at the 9 1/2 score line.
 Mountain @ 10 1/2" score line.

Flip your card over.  Apply glue or adhesive of your choice to the top flap and close the card base.  It should look like the first photo (see above).
