W Card Fold Tutorial - Get Well Soon Scandanavian Folk Art Card

Hello everyone! I have a card to share with a fancy fold called the W-Fold.  I saw this card fold, in landscape format, here.  I preferred to make it as a standard upright card, so I will share those measurements below.  The card front is kept super simple, as the fun is all in the fold.  


I used some cute Scandanavian stamps and simple stamping, but in a favorite color combo!  I feel this is bright and cheery, and good for a Get Well card.



Tutorial:

1) Decorate the card front of a standard A2 card, cut from colored cardstock (4.25 inches by 5.5 inches)

2) Line the inside of your card with white cardstock (4 inches by 5.25 inches)

3) Cut a strip of coordinating colored cardstock.  (8.5 inches by 1.5 inches) This can be a little thinner if you prefer, and are using a good, sturdy cardstock.

4) Score the strip at 2 1/8, 4 1/4, 6 3/8 inches.  Fold into a W shape.

5) Cut 4 squares of white cardstock with either a die or paper cutter.  My squares are 1 7/8 inches.  
(The absolute maximum would be 2 inches square, but you could go smaller).  

6) Apply your strip to the inside of card as pictured.  Apply glue, or heavy duty double-sided adhesive, only to the outer part of the fold.  
You may notice that I prefer not to place the strip all the edge of the card base, instead leaving a little gap.  I find this allows the card to stay folded more neatly.  

7) Add your decorated squares to the strip.  

Supplies: Club Scrap Scandinavia Jumbo Unmounted Stamp set, Scandinavia Greetings stamp set, Gina K Assorted Greetings Stamp set, Versafine Satin Red and Onyx Black inks, MFT Die Namics Pierced Squares dies.

I’d like to enter this card in SimonSaysStamp’s Wednesday Challenge - Anything Goes, and Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you might try this card fold sometime!  Let me know if you have any questions!
