    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!

    I love making easel cards. My grandma loves them because she likes to display her cards and she finds them to be the best for that.

    It's never too late to review all of the types of folds. This video was one of the most clear and succinct in my many years of crafting cards. Thank you so much from a veteran card maker!

    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.

    Thank you for this tutorial, simply for the measurements! Even though I have been crafting cards for many years it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of all of the ‘fun’ card shapes we can create with a little imagination - and of course remembering 😂. Thanks again Sandy 🌸

    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 ❤

  • @user-mt5ig4rq6y
    @user-mt5ig4rq6y 25 днів тому +1

    There is just something about a Z-fold trifold card that I really like. I think it is all the layers compared to more traditional cardfolds. So that is my favorite😊

  • @mimibrewer973
    @mimibrewer973 25 днів тому

    I have always been partial to card styles that have movement. Whether it be an aperture, spinner or shaker. I must say that I am now going to try the tri-fold book style. Thank you. 😊

  • @CraftyCornerstones
    @CraftyCornerstones 22 дні тому

    I tend to make top and side folding the most but love a gatefold with belly band!

  • @annalisayoung
    @annalisayoung 22 дні тому

    I love a good trifold with a window on the front. I like the way a z-fold looks, but I’ve never actually made one. I think I’ll try it!

  • @connievarnadore7475
    @connievarnadore7475 28 днів тому +1

    Thank you for this video! I'm new to card making and this really helped me with some projects I'm working. I'm using the gate fold to make wedding invitations for my friends.💙 I've hand made brochures and a few other things in college, but it's ben a while and I couldn't remember all the fold techniques.

  • @deborahbuonomo296
    @deborahbuonomo296 26 днів тому

  • @denacarlene
    @denacarlene 27 днів тому

    My favorite is the gate card. But to be truthful there are so many I haven’t tried and with this detailed “class” video I will be trying all of them. Thank you for providing all of us such an amazing tutorial.

  • @barbarakohn2265

    Thanks for doing this great summary of different card folds and shapes! My favorites are shaped and aperture, but I really want to try the Z-fold.

  • @ScarletteDesigns
    @ScarletteDesigns 24 дні тому

    Great tips! I love and use all of these folds when card making, but I love a beautifully decorated gatefold card all the time! But a good slimline card is a lot of fun too! Thank you!

  • @virginiaellison8227
    @virginiaellison8227 26 днів тому +1

    This is hard.... I love all the fun folds.... but if I had to choose, I think I would have to choose the "Simple Stepper Card" and the "Gatefold" ... Thank you so much for sharing this.... I have to save in my Card Fun Folds folder....

  • @hobartians

    @lesliestrout5121 27 днів тому

    I'm a pretty basic card maker and rely on the standard side fold cards most of the time, but I'd like to try the easel card. Great quick guide for card folds, thanks!

  • @joycedupont9310
    @joycedupont9310 25 днів тому

  • @donnacheatle1408
    @donnacheatle1408 26 днів 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!

  • @sarahbriddell3425
    @sarahbriddell3425 26 днів тому

  • @sharonstegeman2379
    @sharonstegeman2379 27 днів тому

    I normally make tags, and for cards, I make 3”x3” note cards. I really like the Z-fold Tri-fold card version. I’d like to try it as it makes double use out of the paper like the 3” notecards, and I think it would be a bit more challenging when it comes to coordinating the embellishments and paper on the different sides.
