#53 WW Diagonal double fold card by Julie Walker

Found a video online by Lisa Curcio of Lisa's Stamp Studio and loved it, hope you will too. looks a bit complicated but trust me it isn't
You will need to start with a piece of base card 8.5 inches by 11 inches (21.6 cm by 28 cm) Score this card at the half way point on both the vertical and horizontal, so 4.25 inches (10.8 cm) on the short side and 5.5 inches (14 cm) on the longer side.
Cut one complete quadrant from the card
The arrows in the picture indicate how to diagaonally cut two further quadrants on your card, so that you end up with a base card that looks like this
Score your folds well so that the card sits nicely. The side panel folds inwards and the top panel folds down . Now its time to decorate. A little more tricky than I at first thought but you just have to remember if your paper is directional to make sure you are cutting your angles correctly. Hope you will have a try at this card, I don't think you will be disappointed. I put mats and layers on my card and it still folds nice and flat into a standard envelope. Have fun and happy crafting everyone.
