MFT DT Creative Challenge: Fun Folds

In 2011, MFT is working harder than ever to inspire you, and we have come up with something we think you'll really enjoy. Our Design Team Creative Challenge is a new monthly feature, where we challenge our design team to explore their creative side using a specific theme, product or technique.

This month, we're all making cards featuring Fun Folds!

Visit the MFT Blog for a full list of designers that have taken up the challenge!
 
 
I created a gate fold card with a drop-down panel. Here's the finished front:
 

And here's the how-to. First, start with a 8.5" x 8.5" piece of cardstock.

Score at 2 1/8" and 6 3/8" (it's difficult to see the score lines in the photos -- sorry!).

Then turn it and score down the middle at 4 1/4".

Turn the cardstock back to its original position, and remove the outside bottom sections.

Then take a little extra off the center panel.

Fold up the panels and decorate each section. The card will open up to reveal the message one panel at a time!

Have a great day!
