Hi there! Geri here, I wanted to share with you one of a few versions of a Hinge style card. First you would make your folded card base the size you want or what will work with the size of your image. My finished card is 5 1/2″ X 5″. From the top fold you will need to score across the width of what you want your hinge or panel to be. I scored mine at 1 inch down. This can be either a side opening or top which ever you prefer. Next you will glue from the top fold to your score line across, being careful not to glue on the score line.. So that when you open the card it only opens from the score line, I guess that is where it gets it’s name. I’m not the greatest at explaining things so I hope this makes sense. I added a few photo’s to help. Then decorate as you wish.
To make this card I used Repeat Impressions gorgeous “Butterfly”(lg) #9001-L and the vertical sentiment is “Birthday Vertical” #6104-J.
The butterfly was colored with Copic’s # BG000, BG10 and B66 and cut out.
The DP is MME.
Pop-dots for a 3-D look.
Score along the front of your card the width you want, mine is scored at about 1 inch from the fold at the top of card.
Glue down the hinge portion with glue, I used score tape.
Here is a closer view of my 3-D butterfly.
Here is another hinge style card using the same butterfly image in different colors and doing the split screen technique, which is an image divided. I colored and cut out the image and glued it to a piece of DP. Then cut it into three equal pieces and glued it in place on some card stock. The sentiment is from Repeat Impressions “Flutter By” #9005-E
Another view.
