Every year Stampin' Up! holds a conference and this year I am attending with a fellow teammate and our wonderfully successful upline!
One of the best things about conference is the chance to swap cards, so I designed a similar version of this Hexagon Twist Pocket Card for a fancy fold swap. Thanks to Pinterest and The Paper Pixie for the inspiration.
I started with a 8 1/4 inch x 8 1/8 inch piece of card stock.
On the 8 1/8 inch side: score at 1/2 inch, 2 7/8 inch, 5 1/4 inch and 7 5/8 inch
Turn and on the 8 1/4 inch side score at 4 1/8 inch
Your card stock should look like this
I then scored diagonally as shown in the photos below.
You will need DSP cut to the following size
One cut 2 1/4 by 4 inches
Two cut 2 1/4 by 3 7/8 inches (these will then be cut diagonally top right corner to bottom left corner)
Flip card stock over and attach DSP as indicated in photo
Using tear and tape on side tabs, fold in half and secure sides.
Now fold down carefully while twisting clockwise...it may take some finessing.
Using a bone folder, make sure you have burnished the creases well.
It should look like this
I used gold trim that I secured to the front with a glue dot before adding a sentiment, cut two pieces of white card stock 2 1/4 by 3 7/8 inches for the inside and added a small strip of DSP to coordinate. I then added a gift card before tying up.
This card used the Fruit Salad Sale-a-bration DSP, Peach Pie card stock, sentiment (from My Small Business stamp set) was stamped and backed in Granny Apple Green. Tied using Gold Trim.
