Funky Fold Friday - Buckle Fold Card

Today I ended up going back to the scary world of Facebook Live to record my Funky Fold Friday video. I had a couple of days this week where I wasn't feeling too great so didn't get as far as making the pre-recorded video and I didn't want to leave you guys without one. So, I went LIVE! And remembered why I am so uncomfortable with this - eeek!

Anyhoo! It's done, it's out there and I'll be going back to pre-recorded next week 😀!

The Buckle Fold is a variation of a card I made a few weeks ago - the Flap Fold Card. I've watched lots of videos on this fold, but the one I took the measurements from for this card came from Lynn Dunn at Stamptastic Designs. As an American Demonstrator, Lynn's measurements were for their 8 1/2 " x 11" cardstock, so I've adapted them for our A4 cardstock (measurements below the video).

One thing I did forget to show you in the video was how to attach the stamped panel over the 'Buckle'. You need to do this with Stampin' Dimensionals as positioned in the photo below.

Here is the card I made completed - sadly, we are all making far too many cards like this right now 😔
