Fun Cards

Building Block Card

  • 5.5” x 10.5” card base
  • Coordinating cardstock or designer paper as desired to decorate card panels
  • Paper trimmer
  • Scoring tool
  • Adhesive
  • Alphabet stamps or dies, and other embellishments to decorate card

Step 1

Score the 5.5” x 10.5” cardstock at 3.5” and 7” on the long edge.
Fold these as a mountain fold and a valley fold.

Step 2

Close the valley fold, and cut in 1.5” along the fold at these intervals: 3/8”, 1 3/8”, 1 5/8”, 2 5/8”, 2 7/8”, 3 7/8”, 4 1/8”, and 5 1/8”.

Step 3

Score at the end of the cuts on the 1” slits so these can fold up with mountain folds. Leave the ¼” slits as valley folds.

Step 4

Secure the score lines by pressing down along the folds with a bone folder to make sure they are nice and sharp.

Decorate the front and inside panels. (The front panel measures 3.5" x 5.5". The panels on either side of the blocks are 2" x 5.5". Each block panel measures 1"x 1.5".)

Note:
You may choose to back the card with a slightly larger piece of coordinating cardstock.

Step 5

Complete the project.
