A Year of Card Techniques / June 2017 / Basic Card Folds Using Double Sided Paper




Welcome to A Year of Card Techniques Blog Hop where each month we feature a different card technique. We’ve assembled a team of card makers who range from new to advanced, so you’ll see a great variety of cards and ideas.

June‘s hop is devoted to basic card folds; featuring drapery/curtain fold, peek-a-boo fold or double-z gate-fold. And we’re adding a twist of using double-sided paper. We hope this gives you lots of ideas and will inspire you to try these card folds yourself...and pull out that double-sided paper as well! If you would like to check out our past technique hops, you can do that here:

April-Stamp Set Showdown
May-World of Watercolors

We have an amazing sponsor this month, Candy Spiegel.                 Please take a moment to check out all the crafty goodness             on her blog,  Candy Scraps.

And the awesome prize this month is:

Now on to my Cards for this Month:







 2 different Sentiments but same layout of card.






 Once I scored my double sided cardstock at 2,4,8 & 10 and cut diagonally from the
8" score down to the 2.75" mark and from
the 4" score down to the 2.75 mark on opposite side, I had triangular pieces for the front of my card.

 I cut the matted cardstock for the interior portion of the card.  Olive,
red bard, and champagne.


I stamped my image on a top layer die cut & stamped image
on the inside to finish off the card.

Each season represents a fresh start and fall is usually the time of year when scrapbookers and stampers come back inside and start up their papercrafting again!  If that's you, here are some tips on how to prepare to begin again! 1.  Keep your crafting area clean!
