Today I have an easy fun fold card idea to share with you. It’s called a triangle fold and there are some fun ways you can decorate it. Now these fun fold cards are decorated with some of the beautiful products from the Brightly Gleaming suite. However, you can use any stamp set or patterned papers you have on hand to create these fun fold cards.
Creating the Triangle Fold
One of the cool things about creating this card is that we you can make two of them from one 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheet of card stock. The creation of the fun fold involves two steps:
- Score the 8-1/2 x 11 inch piece of cardstock in half on both sides of the cardstock.
- Once the card stock is scored, make one diagonal cut across the entire piece of card stock from corner to corner.
Once the diagonal cut is made, you will have two triangle fold card bases to play with! Here is what the card looks like in portrait and in landscape style when they are open:
Yes, you can decorate the card bases in either landscape or portrait style. And the best part is… you don’t have to change any of the measurements on the card.
Triangle Fold – Portrait Style
These first two cards feature a portrait style triangle fold. The only difference between the two is the way in which I decorated them.
You can use the same patterned paper design for the entire card front or you can use two different patterns as featured on these cards. If you want two different patterned papers on the front, then simply cut two different pieces of patterned paper at 5-1/4 x 4 inches and then cut them in half diagonally. You will be able to decorate two cards.
Triangle Fold – Landscape Style
These next two triangle fold card ideas feature a landscape style.
Now the creation of the card base for these two cards is exactly same as the portrait style cards. The only difference is that I turned the card base from a portrait style to a landscape style and then decorated them!
