A few months ago, my friend Gloria showed me how to make these fabulous Vertical S-Fold cards, which look great when open for display. They are very easy to make and can be adjusted to any size you wish, plus they fold flat for postage!
1. Start with a 81/4" x 53/4" piece of cardstock, and a 41/8" x 53/4" piece of cardstock.
(NOTE: you can use whatever size card blank you like, plus an extra piece of card that is the same size as the folded card. For example, if your folded card measures 5" x 7", you'll also need a 5" x 7" piece of cardstock for the front panel)
2. Place the large piece of cardstock horizontally on your score board and score at 21/16" and 41/8".
(NOTE: If using a different sized card blank, score it in half, then score the first section in half again)
3. Fold the card in half, then fold the first panel backward along the score line to form an S-fold.
4. Decorate the 41/8" x 53/4" panel as desired. I dry embossed the panel first, then added a double paper frame, a die cut image, sentiment flag, and some embellishments.
5. Secure the panel to the folded section of the card blank using glue or very strong tape.
6. Decorate the inside of the card as desired. This section will be visible when the card is opened for display. Done!
