Hi Stampers!
Today I thought we’d try a fun fold card, or maybe it is more of a fun cut and fold! I call this card a CROSSOVER FLAP CARD. The card base is made up of two parts; the main card base and a 4 1/4” x 3 1/4”flap that crosses over the card front and is the perfect space for the focal image. The card is easy to make and perfect for showcasing your patterned papers. Let’s take a peek at the sample cards:

AN EASY TO CREATE CROSSOVER FLAP CARD
WHAT YOU NEED TO CREATE THE CARD
* Main Card Base - cardstock cut at 7 1/4” x 5 1/2” scored at 3”
* Flap- cut cardstock at 4 1/4” x 4 1/4” scored at 1”
* Inside Layer - 5 1/4” x 4” (patterned paper or cardstock)
* Inside Panel (for stamping / signing name) 4” x 3” (white or light colored cardstock)
* Layer for Card Front - 5 1/4” x 2 3/4” (patterned paper or cardstock)
* Layer for Flap - 4” x 3” (patterned paper or cardstock)
* Other cardstock for stamping
* Stamps, Dies, Inks, Embellishments, etc.
* Adhesives
NOTE - When using cardstock for layers consider embossing it with your favorite embossing folder, or stamp images on the cardstock creating your own patterned paper.
WHAT TO DO
* Cut, score, and fold each part of the card base - burnish the folds.
* Place main card base flap,with the 3” wide side to the left and the 4 1/4” wide side to the left.
* Put adhesive on the 1” wide tab of the flap piece, and center it top to bottom of the edge of the card.
* Adhere the 5 1/4” x 4” layer piece in place. This will conceal the tab.
* Adhere layer pieces on flap and card front.
* Stamp and / or decorate the focal piece and stamp inside greeting on 4” x 3” cardstock piece. Adhere in place.
* Add Embellishments to finish your card.

CROSSOVER FLAP CARDS
I like this card fold a lot. Plenty of room for a great focal panel, and a perfect design for showing off patterned papers. Of course instead of the patterned paper you can use embossed cardstock or cardstock you have stamped or whatever you like. Just so many options, and I do like options.
Thank you for checking in. Until next time . . .
Stamp Happy!
