Today is very different. It is a shaped card and colourful.
Called the Teepee Card as it stands up like a teepee.
Day 7 Teepee Card
It is very effective and yet simple to make. Also it requires no special tools so a great project to do if you are a starter, or with the children.
It also folds flat to post.
You will need
3 pieces of 4" squared card stock, 180gsm or over
1 6" square envelope
Fold each square on the diagonal
I have used the card in the pictures below as it shows the folds easily but you will want to avoid this style of pattern as it is too directional.
Next place two of the pieces flat on the table with the diagonal creases forming a pyramid
Add the third piece diagonally in the middle lining up with the lines
Mark with a pencil where the card comes over the end and the sides as you will need to glue inside this section on the bottom two pieces of card
Take off the top panel, glue inside the pencil lines and place the top piece back on making sure there is glue all around the the edge
The card will now fold up into a triangle
You can either secure the back panel with velcro dots or glue it down and fold over so the card sits flat for posting
Now decorate as you wish. Here are other ones I did earlier (in the true Blue Peter fashion)
Hope you enjoy making these fun cards
Happy Crafting
