Xciting!!

We are nearly there with our alphabet challenges, and this week is X. I'm afraid this one is a bit of a cop out, as all I could think of was X-fold card.

So, here is my X-fold card, made using instructions from Beccy's Place. I made it larger than the one show there, starting with 8x8 card.

  

 I used Crafter's Companion Shabby Chic double sided card, and scored it in half each way, then diagonally down one of the resulting squares.

 

I then cut out diagonally opposite corner section, leaving a tab. 

I folded along the diagonal making a mountain, and then along the straight edges to make valleys.

  

You need to make four of these, and then glue to create three sided "boxes".

  

These are then glued together - apart from the last two - making sure the diagonal folds are on the base each time. This allows everything to fold up.

I used more of the Shabby Chic card for matting and layering inside, and decorated with pieces from Hunkydory In Full Plume Pretty Peacocks. Some of the flowers are cut from that card, using Crafter's Companion Garden of Love 3D Layered Daisy, and others are paper ones from my stash. The ribbon needs to be attached before the outside topper.

 

Happy crafting,
