Below is my tutorial for Challenge 37 on Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co.'s Tutorial Time on SpeedyTV.
Hello
and welcome to my Concertina Card Tutorial.
I purchased a book by Scor-Pal, Score,
Fold & Create and it had so many awesome tutorials. I changed up their tutorial a bit to suit my
card – made it a bit easier and less embellished. So, let’s get started.
Supplies:
Scoring
Board of some sort;
Cutting
board or scissors;
Border
Punch of choice;
Ink
and Stamp Set of choice; and
12x12
Designer Paper of Choice.
Step
1:
Cut
your 12x12 designer paper to 12x8
Step
2:
Put
your 12x8 piece of designer paper on your scoring board with the 12” length
across. Now score the side you want
facing out at 3 inches and 9 inches (these will be mountain folds). Turn the piece over and score at 6 inches
(this will be the valley fold).
Step
3:
Lay
out your scored piece of 12x8 designer paper and take a ruler and on the left
side of the designer paper – using the ruler make a pencil mark at the 5 inch
mark. Now go the right side of your
designer paper and, using your ruler – make a pencil mark at the 1 inch
mark. Take your ruler and pencil and
connect the 5 inch mark to the 1 inch mark drawing a light line between the 2
marks. Now take your cutting board or
scissors and trim the top piece off.
Step
4:
Now
take a border punch of your choice and punch across the top of the 12x8
designer paper.
Step
5:
Now
take the 12x8 piece of scored, trimmed and punched designer paper and make
mountain folds at the 3 and 9 inch scored lines and a valley fold at the 6 inch
scored line.
Step
6:
Now
you are ready to stamp and/or decorate the card. I used a sentiment from In My Den by Mark’s Finest Papers, a Heinrich Co. – as you can see
on the front panel.
I
used the images and sentiments from In My
Den to decorate the inside of my card.
But
remember, you can use plain cardstock and designer paper together, you can use
die cuts, ribbons and other embellishments to create a really fancy Concertina
card.
Hope
you enjoyed the tutorial – enjoy.
