SPRINKLES OF SPRING CORNER FLIP CARD...

I'm headed off to Baltimore in the morning for the OnStage Local Event!  I'm so excited!!!  Before I head out, I wanted to share the second of my swap cards I did--this time for a SUDSOL group swap at the event.  For this swap, we try to step it up a bit, so I wanted to do a fancy fold.  I chose the Corner Flip Fold.  No time to do a picture tutorial since I'm leaving, but there are general directions following the card supplies list.

I wanted to use a Thinking of You theme as I will use this swap for my downline meeting next week as well, but there wasn't an appropriate sentiment in the Sprinkles of Life stamp set, so I borrowed one from the Sheltering Tree set.  I decided to use some *happy* colors - looking forward to the Spring already!  Too soon???  Here is a view as you open it and then the inside:

CORNER FLIP FUN/FANCY FOLD DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut card stock for regular A2 card base (4-1/4” x 5-1/2”).   Score in the landscape position at 4-1/4”. 
2. Place the card base in the Stampin’ Trimmer in the landscape position, aligning the left edge at 3”. 
3. Cut FROM 2-1/2” to 4-7/8” (using the numbers on the slider). 
4. Rotate your card stock 90 degrees (to the right). 
5. Again align the left edge of the card stock at 3”.  Cut FROM 3” (should meet the previous cut) to 5/8”. 
6. Fold your card base on the score line. 
7. Push the lower left corner of the cut square inward while pulling the upper right hand corner towards you -- down and towards the opposite corner.  Gently ease the folds so that everything lines up square.  Use your bone folder to sharpen the crease. 
8. Dress up the front square with a 2-3/4” square mat and a 2-1/2” square focal piece. 
9. For the inside use a complimentary color mat (this will show from the card front) of 4” x 5-1/4”.  For your inside sentiment focal piece, you want to use a small enough piece that it will not show from the front.  I use 2-7/8” x 4-1/8” or less.
