Belt and Buckle FUN FOLD FRIDAY
Today, we’re diving into a fun fold design that’s sure to add an extra touch of charm to your card-making repertoire. Imagine a card that plays a little game of peek-a-boo; closed, it’s neatly held together by a cleverly crafted paper strip, mimicking a belt. This belt, attached at one side, gracefully folds across the front panel, only to be tucked under a smaller, perpendicular strip, like a buckle, affixed to the front. It’s a design that’s not only visually engaging but also offers a delightful surprise element for the recipient. Get ready to fold, tuck, and create a little magic as we step into the detailed process of making this unique card. Let’s unleash our creativity and bring this playful concept to life!
