New Latching Angle Fun Fold Birthday Card

This week I'll be sharing the cards from my Stamp and Chat Class that was held this past weekend. We had a fun time even though there was a power outage! Luckily, my hubby has a large capacity generator and once he got that turned on, we were good to go!

I cased this Angle Fun Fold layout from V and A Creations, but I improved it by creating a "latch" mechanism to keep it closed much better!

Use a full sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock cut diagonally from the upper right corner to the lower-left corner. You'll get 2 cards this way.

I started with the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-Bration brochure and cut two pieces 4" x 5-1/4". Cut those diagonally from the upper left to the lower right. Again you'll have extras for the second card option. Then I trimmed 1/8" more from them on the portion that will become the outer side edge. That should help the triangles fit well.

Here's my latching idea. I punched two 1-3/8" circles and adhered them together. Put adhesive on only half of the circle and attached to the right side triangle flap only. Then you can add 3 or 4 dimensionals around it on the left side triangle flap as shown so they are not touching. Then attach your prepared two-layer circle sentiment with scallop circle backing.

Here's a peek at the inside.

Here are the products used in this card:
