The design for this fancy fold comes from the tutorials at splitcoaststampers.com. Visit the Tutorials section on their site for a video (the only difference are the measurements which I have converted to metric).

Here it is with the flap closed ….

This is with the flap open ….

• Measurements:
  • Card base (Thick Whisper White): 21cm x 14.8cm scored at 10.5cm

  • Layer 2 (Night of Navy DSP): 7.5cm x 11.8cm
  • Pull Tab (Night of Navy): 5.0cm x 12.5cm scored at 3.8cm and 5 cm from one end
  • Ribbon / Baker’s Twine: approximately 16cm
  • Cardstock for outer and under the flap layers. Maximum width of layers: 6.3cm for outer and 4.5cm for the ‘under’.

• Instructions
  • Use the Classic Label Punch or a craft knife to cut a slit in Layer 2. Centre the punch vertically and push the cardstock in all the way before punching. If using a craft knife, make the slit 5cm high and 4.5cm from the right hand edge of the cardstock.
  • Punch a hole in the tab on the opposite end to the score lines. (Use a Tag Topper Punch if desired.)
  • Burnish both folds on the tab piece and feed it through the back of the slit on Layer 2 from the right hand side, leaving the punched hole showing beyond the edge of Layer 2.
  • Add adhesive on the edge of the tab showing through on the left.
  • Line up the tab piece so that the punched hole is just showing beyond the right hand edge of Layer 2.
  • Fold the tab on the 5cm score line and adhere to Layer 2.
  • Create the ‘under flap’ layer and attach the left hand edge of it along the 3.8cm score line of the tab piece.
  • Create the main ‘flap’ layer and attach the left hand edge of it along the edge of the 5cm score line.
  • Add some ribbon or Baker’s Twine through the punched hole to act as the pull for the tab.
  • Attach completed flap mechanism to layer 1 taking care not to add adhesive near the pull tab.
  • Attach to card base.

… for the inside and envelope

The flaps can be any shape – square, oval, circle, rectangle etc. Why not have a play and make one for yourself. Please leave me a comment if you have any questions.
