This week I'm giving the sewing machine a rest, and making a cute Valentines day card / and mini album. Although I suppose it's not really an album, since I only put 4 photos.
Several years ago on a road trip we found an awesome city map that folded something like this. I was fascinated with it. When we got home I took it apart to make one of my own.... but I ended up with a pile of scrap map parts :-(
Since then I've seen a few how to videos, and had try it. The first one took me about forty-five minutes, and the steps seemed so complicated. But I persevered, and in the process I found a few shortcuts, and now can make these in a matter of minutes!
So I thought I'd pass along how I made these; you may find a few shortcuts of your own! Once you've made the basic card, you can embellish it to your hearts content, and I'd love to see what you do. So here is my video, of my Basic Foldy-fold card.
Enjoy!
