Arrow Fold Square fun fold with World Map - A Masculine Card

A masculine square Arrow Fold card featuring the World Map Dies and World of Good papers

 

This is a square version of last week's Arrow Fold card.  Again, I basically used this tutorial by the very talented Sam Calcott but changed the dimensions to better suit my A4 size cardstock.  Obviously, a 6" square card is more comfortable to make (in terms of score line placement) but it's very convenient to use an A4 piece of cardstock rather than a 12" square.

I started with a piece of Basic Black measuring 29cm x 14.5cm, scored in half at 14.5cm.   The finished card is a 14.5cm square.  On the top flap of the card, I scored lines radiating from the centre bottom (7.25cm) to three locations on each side of the piece: the top corner, 4.8cm and 9.6cm down.  I then folded following Sam's instructions.

I put a layer of Cinnamon Cider (14cm square) cardstock onto the "inside" of the card, followed by a layer of World of Good Designer Series Paper (12.5cm square).

I had intended to also place a layer of the Cinnamon Cider onto the triangular flap (I had even cut it!) but at the last minute decided that I preferred it without.  I simply used the single layer of World of Good paper.

The Arrow Fold card stands up by itself, resting on its point.

I cut the pieces for the globe with the World Map Dies from Brushed Metallic and Cinnamon Cider cardstocks.

This was the Cinnamon Cider triangle I originally cut for the front of the card

Even though I didn't use the Cinnamon Cider triangular layer, I've included the photo as it gives a good idea of how I cut it from a 13cm (w) x 14cm (h) rectangle.

The next layer (the decorative paper that I did use) I cut in the same way from a rectangle that measured 12cm x 13cm. 

I covered the entire "inner" layer of the card with decorative paper and added a label
