Fun fold Friday Pattern paper week

 Did you know that you can make a card base using Stampin' Up!  Pattern paper?  It's strong enough 💪 to even make a fun fold card! The fold I'm sharing today is called a faux stepper card and is a great way to showcase those lovely pattern papers you have 😉

The paper for today's fun fold is called Take to the Sky It's one of the papers in the 15% off offer that finishes at the end of the month. At first glance you might think it could only be used for plane lovers but actually if you look a little close the maps and contour lines ones as well as the checks will work brilliantly for any kind of adventures!

The papers also contain 2 sheets that you can cut apart to make mats and tags for easy embellishments on your projects. 

The card base starts as a piece of pattern paper measuring 14.85cm x 20cm scored at 2.5cm, 5cm, and 12.5cm. Top tips here are to remember that you don't need to use a lot of pressure when scoring pattern paper. Also to keep in mind that is the pattern is directional the first score line is the front bottom of the card. The folds are mountain,  valley, mountain. 

You then need a piece of paper measuring 10cm x 15cm scored at 10.5cm. Adhere the bottom edge of the panel to the center of the bottom of the card front. The fold the score line in a mountain fashion and adhere the very edge to the back of the card base.

Next decorate as desired.

I have chosen to add a panel of cardstock to the back of the card . Firstly to have somewhere to write a message and secondly to cover where the 2 piece of pattern paper are joined.
