Fold Out Cards! - September 2022 Cards, Tags, & More Kit
Hey, y’all! This week I have a couple of quick and easy fold-out cards using this month’s Cards, Tags, & More Kit for you!
Both of these cards go together quickly, so if you find you need a card on short notice, either of these will work as a quick way to add a personal touch.
Check out the video to see just how quickly these cards go together – I don’t really have to talk too much because there is more cutting, and gluing involved in these two cards than anything else!
Easy-peasy, right? Check out the photos below to get a closer look at the details!
The overall size of this first card is 4”x6” (10.16cm x 15.24cm) - which is what the base rectangle is cut to. The accordion fold section is a 5”x12” (12.7cm x 30.48cm) strip of cardstock, scored at 3”, 6”, 9”, and 10.5” (7.62cm, 15.24cm, 22.86cm, and 26.67cm).
I tucked some sheer ribbon between the 4” x 6” base cardstock and the patterned paper I chose to use so I’d be able to tie the card closed when it was finished.

I cut all of my patterned paper 1/8” smaller than the cardstock which will leave a 1/16” cardstock border to show around the edges.
After my patterned papers were glued down, I added a few strips of the gold trim, using my Tim Holtz Media Tool (a T-square type of tool made to fit the Tim Holtz Glass Mat) to keep my lines of glue straight.
I cut out the flower heart from the papers, inked the edges, added some foam squares, and popped it onto a heart-shaped cardstock piece (also with inked edges), then just added one of the sentiments from the Paper Boutique papers in this month’s kit.
This second fold out card went together just as easily as the first one. I created a cut file, made for 12” x 12” cardstock, glued the two pieces together and picked out my papers.
I alternated between blue and pink papers for the panels and used the dies from the kit to create a little extra decoration on the two blue sections.
As with the first fold out card, I cut my patterned papers down 1/8” to allow a 1/16” border of cardstock.

For a couple of the panels, I pieced together some of the patterned paper instead of cutting into a new piece of paper!
To finish up the front of the card, I added some of the gold trim, a blue rectangle die cut, and a sentiment.
