Project of the Week ~ Flipped Corner Card

GOOD MONDAY MORNING - this week it is my turn to do our weekly tutorial and I have had several people ask me how to do the flipped corner card that I enjoy making. My card here shows this technique. This tutorial is HEAVY with pictures so grab a cup of coffee and enjoy:

Supplies include cardstock, paper trimmer, bone folder, and I choose to use Repeat Impressions’ stamps 9724-G - Happy Frog and 9704-F Un-frog-ettable .

As you can see I added a post-it-note 3 x 3 in the upper right corner of the card so you visualize the cut a little more clearly. Score your base cardstock at 4 1/4 inch.

Place the 5 1/2 inch side of your card at the 3 inch mark on your cutter - starting at the 5/8 inch mark cut down to the 3 inch mark on your cutter ruler.

Turn cardstock and place the scored center fold line at 1 1/2 inches on your cutter, cut from 5/8 from top down to 3 inch line. your two corner cuts should meet.

Push the left cut corner down and under as show in the picture above.

Use your bone folder to get a nice crease.

Stamp your image on a 2 1/4 inch square of white cardstock.

Color your image using color medium of choice - I used colored pencils and OMS to color this frog. Mount this image on a 2 1/2 inch square and then again on a 2 3/4 inch square.

Attach to card with glue runner or adhesive of your choice.

Apply a bit of adhesive or a glue dot under the corners where the arrows are.

Add sentiment or embellishment of your choice to front of card.

You may finish the inside of the card. I had a frog brad that was hopping to be included in this card.

This is going to my chemo patient along with a cute frog magnet that I found shopping a while back. This is really an easy fold and makes a nice layout. Enjoy!
