w fold card

Another fun fold for you! The W fold is an easy and spectacular card!

Measurements:

Cardstock in base color:
4 1/4” x 11” – for card base
1 3/4” x 11” – for “W” mechanism

Basic White Cardstock for mats:
2 3/8” squares (4)
scraps for sentiment pieces (2)
scraps for embellishments

DSP pieces required:
2 1/8” squares (4)
4” x 5 1/4” (2 for inside card base panels)

Gather and cut the necessary pieces.

Score the 4 1/4” x 11” piece of base cardstock at 5 1/2” on the long side. Score the 1 3/4” x 11” piece of cardstock at 2 3/4”, 5 1/2” and 8 1/4” along the long edge. Fold and burnish the middle score line as a “mountain” and the two end lines as “valleys”.

Use Multi Purpose liquid glue on the two end panels and then align them in the center of the card base. Start on the left side and adhere the end of the “mechanism”, aligning the left end of the mechanism with the left edge of the card base.
Straighten the mechanism, add Glue to the right end panel and adhere it on the other side, aligning the right end of the mechanism with the right edge of the card base.
The middle fold of the mechanism should be lined up with the middle fold of the card base, and fold out the opposite way.
