I’m teaching you how to make a book binding card the easy way! Need a birthday card, a thinking of you card, thank you card? This fun fold card will work for any occasion! And it’s perfect to use up some of the Designer Series Paper in your stash.
You can make these Book Binding cards as simple, or as “stepped up” as you want. The base is the same, then just choose how much you want to decorate your card.
This book binding card was presented as my very first YouTube Live. Don’t worry if you missed it, click the video below to watch the replay.

Thank you to those that joined me live. They say–do things scared! This was my first YouTube live and I have to admit–it was fun!
My plan is to share a project live with you at least twice a month. Mark your calendars to join me for the next live on Tuesday, January 18, 2022.

Love this card fold. Thank you for sharing all of your inspiration.

Jackie I saw one if your videos that you cut a piece of two sided paper into triangles and then reversed two
I can’t find the video and want to bake the card
I hope you can help even if I just get the measurements I can go from there
