Friends of Unity- July Technique Hop

 

Hello, Friends!  I have a fancy fold card/booklet to share with you for our July Friends of Unity Blog Hop! Our prompt for this month is Technique. I’ve lately been digging different booklets and fun folds. I saw this one in an Instagram reel (sorry, can’t recall the original poster) but the directions were unclear and incomplete. I swear I watched that reel 20 times before I figured it out!  All products used, generally can be found in the Unity Stamp Co store (one or two might be retired). 

Be sure to tag me if you make your own—I’d love to see what you make 😊

Supplies:  12 x 12 cardstock, paper trimmer, scoring tool and circle punch (optional)

Step One:    Score 12 x12 paper in half at the 6" mark; rotate the paper and score again at 4" and 8".  Without changing the paper's orientation, trim 1/8 " from the edge of the cardstock.

             

Step Two:    Cut along the 6" score line, from the 4" score to the end of the paper.  (I've used post it notes to number the panels to bring clarity to the remaining steps.)  Using the photos as reference, fold the paper over so that the even numbered panels are folded over the odd numbered panels.  

Step Three:      Fold over panels 4 and 6 as shown (to get them out of the way) so you are able to create the back cover pocket, using panels 3 and 5. If desired, cut a half circle notch on the top of panel 5; glue the edges of panel 5 to panel three.

Step Four:     Next, you will join panels 1 and 2 to create the front cover pocket.  You will notice in the photo that only panel 2 is notched.  In my final project, both 1 and 2 are notched--just a little creative glitch 😊  Place glue along the edges of panel two and fold over to adhere to panel 1.  The top view photo shows the base of the project complete.

The completed project:
