    I am so HERE for this. I thought it would be sped up to the point of me mumbling. OH MY GRACIOUS...instead, I was treated to a class I should have to pay for...(Now, don't go getting any ideas.) Thank you so very much. This will keep me busy for... at least the weekend. Okay, who am I kidding...the rest of the year!

    Z fold was my favorite. I've made them before, but I always start from scratch. How much easier to start with an accurate card blank! Love that you get 2 for 1 also.

    Such a great tutorial! I’m Subscribing & hope to see more Tutorials. Clear, concise and held my interest. Well done and Thank You! PS: Figuring out the measurements and where to score and fold has been one of my problems. But this has helped tremendously as it is the basis of more than a simple standard fold.

    Thank you for this video! I'm new to card making and this really helped me with some projects I'm working. I'm using the gate fold to make wedding invitations for my friends.💙 I've hand made brochures and a few other things in college, but it's ben a while and I couldn't remember all the fold techniques.

  • @Ane-MarteMortensen
    @Ane-MarteMortensen 4 месяца назад +1

    There is just something about a Z-fold trifold card that I really like. I think it is all the layers compared to more traditional cardfolds. So that is my favorite😊

I've been playing with die cuts that will allow interlocking pieces to make them close. It's been fun learning what will work and what won't!
