Feb 15-21:Double Diamond Fold

Recently found a fun fold that is new to me. And, since it was so quick and easy to make, wanted to share it.
Here is my card (that will be sent to my MIL in the near future). Hope you join me in making one!

If you google Double Diamond Fold or check Pinterest, you’ll find lots of samples with templates and instructions for making the card with different sized papers. I found 5x11.5, 4.5x12, and 4x10. All are made the same, just slightly different in size. So… you can pick the one that fits your image! Here are a few of the sites that I found most helpful.

What an interesting fold Kathy! That's a sweet card for your MIL. Thank you for hosting.

Very nice Kathy...thanks for the other website

What a cool card fold. Your card is very pretty!!!!

What a fun card, Kathy. Love the sentiment, too. Does it lay flat?

Yes.. it lays flat enough that it should go for first class postage.
This one will fit in a regular size (A2) envelope. (I think that I used the 4 x 10 template size.)
I do recommend that you make your first one with regular copy paper to check on size... and also to get the fold correct. Watching the video really helped me to get that part right. It is simple... but took my brain a few tries to get it right! (I'm directionally impaired when I drive. And... apparently when I paper fold, too!)

You have me laughing (glad there was no tea or water in my mouth). I'm hoping to have a bit of time this weekend to look at the videos and try this.

Love your card Kathy! Gonna go check out the video.

My card has a pocket in the center with a blank card so that I can personalize it later.

Beautiful, Linda! Love the idea of the pocket.
