#167 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with B for Book Binding Fold

The Butterflies are back with a brand new Alphabet

and card shapes to try out. 

Whilst I do have lots of new card shapes for you to try I don't have one to use for each letter of the Alphabet so this time round we are going Random and some letters will be used more than once and in any order!

 The next letter out of the Tea cup is 

the letter

B

Come on in.

Lets Spin the Butterfly Wheel.

Each challenge will be a letter of the Alphabet with a new  choice of 4 Colours , 1 Theme and a specified Card shape all beginning with the chosen letter.

As before I will be showing a tutorial for each of the card shapes.

 A link to the tutorial page is shown above under the banner heading. Just click on the Card Shapes tab and you will be taken to a drop down list of all the past and present card tutorials.

 You must of course use a butterfly on your entry but there are now two categories for you to choose from.

1.    Make any  card using at least 2 of the colours on the wheel +butterfly.  

     2.    Make a card using the Card Shape +any 2 of the colours + the theme +butterfly.  

There will be a prize for each category. 

 Please state in your post which part of the wheel you are using to play with.

There will be a special prize draw for using all of the wheel.

So lets get started.

The wheel is

B

and 

Book Binding Fold.

These are the four colours to choose from. 

The theme is show Braid (real or Faux).

Please state the elements of Your Choice.

Here is my inspiration for you.

This fun fold is even easier as it requires no cutting just two folds of your base card. 

Easy Peasy! 

VersionII

This card uses acetate for the front cover. 

VersionIII

With an exploding page inside that requires 3 more easy folds.

Latch Fold Card

L
is for 

 LATCH FOLD CARD

This is a picture of the finished card design.

1. Cut cardstock of your choice to  7" x 5.5"".  Score on the long side (7") at 2" and fold.

2. Cut cardstock of your choice 4.5" x 3.5". Score on the  4.5"  at 0.5" and 0.75" and fold on both lines. n.b. This is my version of making this card. I have not seen anyone else making it with a gusset.

3. Attach d.s. tape (or glue if preferred) along the 0.5" fold.

4. Attach to the base card as shown below.

5. This creates the gusset when closed as shown here.

6. Cut a piece of design paper of your choice  as below to cover the inside of the card and adhere.
 

7. For the latch element cut a 2" punch circle. Cut a Fancy label punch or die to fit and stamp with your sentiment of choice. 

8.  Decorate the front panel on the card  and front of the gusset fold as required. 

8. Adhere the sentiment label to the circle and then 3d tape to the left hand side only on the back of the circle.

9. Adhere to the front  panel so that the gusset panel has room to tuck under and close the card.
