Another Corner Flip Card

This card is one we made in my class at Trail Winds Active Adult Center in Thornton yesterday.  It's the same design as one of the valentines in my previous post, but with different paper it's got a totally different look.

It's called a corner flip card, and the idea came from Chris Slogar of Buckeye Inklings.  Her website (https://buckeyeinklings.com/2020/01/27/heartfelt-corner-flip-card/) shows several different views of her card, as well as a video tutorial.  Alternatively, if you just want to watch the tutorial, you can go directly to Chris's YouTube video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C32lXSGYSdI.

The card looks difficult, and because of that I had backed off from making it for several months (I didn't want to try to measure the layer pieces).  Once I watched the video I discovered how easy it actually is!  All you need is an 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of card stock for the base (same as a regular A2 card).  After you score it and fold it at 4-1/4", you mark 3-1/2" from the left side at the top fold, and 2-3/4" from the top on the left edge of the card.  Keeping the card closed, score and fold a diagonal line between the two marks.  If it's easier, you can pencil in a line connecting the two marks and then score along that line.  Once done, all you need to do is kind of push down on the top left side, folding it toward the inside of the card -- the two diagonal lines pretty much automatically fold inside the card to complete the card base.  On mine, after I folded it I used my bone folder on all of the folds to make them nice and crisp.

The layers are also simple to make!  Cut your paper 5-1/4" x 4", and then use the same measurements (3-1/2" at top and 2-3/4" at left edge), to mark where to cut it.  To fit into the triangle shapes on the inside, you then need to trim the triangle piece by about 3/8" to 1/2".  For the front you can discard the triangle, but on my card I saved it and placed it in the upper left corner next to the white card stock on the inside of the card.

Since I used double-sided paper on my card, the pieces on the inside top were cut exactly the same way as the front piece, and when I flipped it over it fit perfectly into the upper section.  If you are not using double-sided paper, you will need to reverse the cut for the top section -- mark 3-1/2" from the right edge of the paper and 2-3/4" on the right edge.

These are the materials I used for my card (everything came from my stash and may no longer be available):

* Fresh Fig card stock from Stampin' Up!: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored and folded at 4-1/4", then scored again as described above for the card base; scraps for punches

* Patterned Paper from Close to My Heart: 5-1/4" x 4" - two pieces; scraps for circles

* White card stock for inside: 5-1/4" x 4"

* Gold Shimmer 65# card stock by The Paper Studio (Hobby Lobby): scraps for star punches

* Punches from my stash: Large and small stars; 1", 1-1/4", 1-3/8" and 1-1/2" circles

* Hello die from Winnie & Walter

* Starform Glitter stickers available from www.stamplistic.com

That's it!  I hope you enjoy this fun fold card . . . watch for another card next week made with this same layout.
