In A Flap!

We are into week 3 of the latest butterfly challenge which is 

#122 Spin The Butterfly wheel with F for Flap fold.

I have a different  style of flap fold to show you today for your inspiration. It is called a Corner Flap Fold. I have put the instructions for making this card on the Butterfly Blog under the Card shapes page and is listed as Version III. It might look complicated but trust me it is two folds and two cuts and all you need is a scoring board and a trimmer or craft knife. The measurements and step by step pictures are in the tutorial.

First card uses  Flap fold/ French Rose/Firebrick Red/Flax/Flowers/Butterfly.

Design paper from my stash which was adhered to the base card (once it had been folded and cut to the shape). The flower toppers and the sentiment were freebies from the May 2019 issue of Crafts Beautiful. The butterflies are a SU Punch and gems from my stash. 

Photo below showing the inside of the card decorated with more of the flower toppers.

Entering this card into the following challenges:
Brown Sugar #290 Flowers.
Crafty Catz #461 Anything goes + optional Female.
Artistic Inspirations #215 Anything goes.
Crafty Card Makers #233  3 -2-1 ( I have used 3 flower toppers/2 gems/1 butterfly)
Through The Craft Room Door # Anything goes.
The Crafty Addicts #60 Anything goes.

Second  card using the same fold (Version III) 
 Uses  Flap fold/ Flax//Butterfly.

Here I have used SU Design paper and picked the colour flax out from the chevrons. The butterfly is two different size SU Punches. Gems were in my stash. The sentiment is a Stamp by Woodware JS901 " Birthday Text Box" which I have stamped out onto white card but only used a small section of it.

Entering this card only into the following challenges:
Ally's Angels  #22 Anything goes.
Crafts Galore #63 Anything goes.
Daisy Chain Challenges #30 Anything goes.
Get Creative #80 Anything goes with no twist.

This flap was a really fun shape to make. I hope you will give it  try. The Butterfly challenge is running for a further two weeks. I will be showing you a further flap fold next week so please come back and check it out.
