Basic Cardfolds Tutorial ...
... to get you started

Start with this Basic Cardfolds Tutorial, to add the interest to your project, and then decorate to your hearts content.

Many beginners buy their cards ready folded, complete with envelopes, in packs and it is a good way to start.

Buying card stock in blank A4 sheets is better but then when they get it home they wonder where on earth they are going to start.

We have all probably started with the single fold in the A4 card, and made some very lovely cards.

This one easy fold makes a standard A5 card.

It is probably the fold that most people return to time after time as you don't need to think about what to do...just fold and make.

I know I use it regularly for my cards. The pictured card is just such a one with the fold at the top and commonly called a tent fold.

But after a while it can start to get just a little bit boring and we need some adventure in our day.

And also as your confidence grows you will want to do something a little more with the card stock that you have.

So where do we go to next?
