This is a super easy type of card to make and for those who make elegant cards..this has such a lot of potential. I unfortunately dont make good elegant cards perhaps because my assistant and critique is 6 years and almost all the cards we make are for her friends or teachers!!

| Fancy Fold card tutorial |
Choose a rectangular piece of card stock..mine is
6 x 12 inches.
Any length you fancy will work...easier if its a multiple of 3 as you will have to divide it into 3 equal parts!
Since mine is 12 inches long...I first divided [scored] it into 4 inch segments.
Then score a line to halve the outer 2 segments as shown above.
This translates into Score at
2,4,8 and 10 inches if you have a scorepal

| Fancy Fold card tutorial |
Measure around 2- 2.25 inches above the lower border of the card at either end and join to the top of the 4 and 8 inch score lines as shown by the white arrows.Chop off the outer triangles as shown.

I added a Santa and a truck on each of the inner folds of the card to make a double pop up card.
