    I am so HERE for this. I thought it would be sped up to the point of me mumbling. OH MY GRACIOUS...instead, I was treated to a class I should have to pay for...(Now, don't go getting any ideas.) Thank you so very much. This will keep me busy for... at least the weekend. Okay, who am I kidding...the rest of the year!

    Z fold was my favorite. I've made them before, but I always start from scratch. How much easier to start with an accurate card blank! Love that you get 2 for 1 also.

    To make a traditional card base I score the whole length at 4 1/4 and then rotate to cut at 5 1/2. Score once, cut once and done ❤

    Love them all, but interactive and fun fold cards make my heart happy, so the shaker, shaped, die cut window stepper, trifold, the gate fold and spinner, easel, etc… are my favorites! 🫣I am warming up to slim cards…Thank you Amy and Lydia for sharing!

    @donnacheatle1408 3 місяці тому

    Great and informative video!! Thank you! My go to is usually a side fold or top fold, but I really love making gate fold cards. The possibilities are endless for ways to close them. I've been playing with die cuts that will allow interlocking pieces to make them close. It's been fun learning what will work and what won't!
