Just 4 Folds

It is the second week of the Butterfly Challenge and I thought that a card shape using  just four folds to create it would be an easy one so here are another 2 cards to  help inspire you.
#134 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with The Letter Q for Quarto Fold Card.

Both of these cards use an 8" square of double sided design paper. Once you have cut your square there is no other cutting required.  As with the first weeks cards you will find full instructions for making them over on the Butterfly blog under the Card Shapes page under the banner at the top of the page.

Version III
This fold is known as a nappy fold and also looks a bit like those paper boat shapes we used to make as children.

 Design paper used is by The Works but it was a bit too thick for the purpose of folding here  so I would use a Lighter  120 - 150 GSM. The butterflies are silver acetate stickers from my stash along with the quartz gems.  Quote was generated in word and printed off. Ribbon was a scrap  out on my desk so used it.
Entering this card into the following challenges:
Use Your Stuff #389 Anything goes.
Lost Coast Portal Challenges #90 Anything goes.
Creative Fingers # 177 Anything goes.
Creative Craft Cottage #12 Anything goes.
Crafty Calendar # Add a tag.
Make My Monday #113 Anything but square.


Version IV
This card  again ues an 8" square of design paper which I simply folded four times to create the pocket as shown.

 Design paper by The Works.  The butterflies are silver acetate stickers from my stash along with the quartz gems.  Quote was generated in word and printed off. Ribbon was a another  scrap  out on my desk so again used it.
 Showing the inside of the card and below the Pull out tag that fits in side the created pocket.

    These are so unique and lovely. I love the paper you used on the first card so much and that butterfly. The second card can be used for a gift card too and does double duty. Those butterflies look like they are crocheted. Beautiful. Now that the holidays are past and things have settled down, I am kind of sorry I passed on the penguins. I have more time for them now and I sure would love to learn to line dance. Too bad.

    Wow! Two fabulous fold shapes, so unusual and impressive! Love especially the second one, that pocket looks so pretty and love the gorgeous papers! This fold seems very useful also to eventually add gift cards on the pull out tag!
    Thanks for the inspirations and the tutorial (waiting for the III and IV versions :) )

    They are wonderful, Mrs A! It is always fun receiving a fun-fold card, and these version are just wonderful! "We" should put a tab on the top of your blog for "tutorials" and then grocery list the folds and tutorials you bring to everyone so they can click and find, since you don't use labels! Your cards are always so unique and intriguing with your paper engineering skills! hugs, de

    What unusual folds... I really like both these cards. I like the dark colour you have used on the second one to make the flowers "pop". Thank you for sharing it with us at Crafty Cardmakers this time.
