Corner fold card – Fancy Borders

Corner fold card – Fancy Borders. I made this card with the Florals in Bloom Designer Series paper. The corner fold card allows you to see both sides of the patterned paper you are using. Such a simple yet effective concept.

I chose the Fancy Borders stamp set for its simple upper case fonts. Sometimes it’s just nice to send a card with no reason at all “just because”! The sentiment for the inside says “a little hello with a whole lot of love”.

Cutting/Scoring Main DSP for corner fold mechanism

• DSP corner fold main mechanism – 6 ¾” x 8″ (17.1 cm x 20 cm). If using directional paper, ensure it is in portrait orientation.
