This is a weird evolved card - bottom image... it started out with the left (top to bottom) piece which was homework for our next Art Of The Fold meeting using double tab accordion. Then I played with one with single tabs (which I like better), both using my geli print paper.
I had set it aside to work on this other structure that sounded interesting... the blue square section which had interlocking and cut sections. I had adhered it to the orangey piece and then said it would make an interesting card... Then I needed something more for the inside, I used my Art Of The Fold homework pieces.
But of course it didn't stand so had to put the bottom frame on it... and a card is nothing without some calligraphy so added the quote with a black ZIG Calligraphy pen and then added the white highlight using a Gelly Roll 08 pen.
Since I had the inside done I needed something for the front... So tore apart and adhered the marbled rice paper piece from eons ago. I had adhered only the right section, but I had a leftover piece so added it to the other side of the front and wrote in the letters for LIFE with the other end on the calligraphy pen.
I don't know when I had such a convoluted way of making a card...
At my recent get together with the gals, one of them had made a card and was giving instructions to some of the gals... I decided to make one as well without the instructions... Right or wrong... I love the outcome (you can see it here). Then I was cleaning my art room and came across an Xmas card from a friend made in 2015 that was similar but with more and different positioning of folds...

I used an orangey cardstock for the base card. Added pieces of my geli print done on Columbia Mills LBS End Paper that gave the illusion of sunset and sunrise... Text written in, monoline with a Juice Up pen. I added weight to the cover letters and some color (yellow & red) with Posca colored pencils.
How To:
Fold it in thirds. Fold the 1st and 3rd sections in half.
Measure the 1/2 way point from left edge to 1st fold line and put a small dot. Use that measurement, place a dot to the right of the 2nd score line. Cut between those points. (I used 1" from top edge, but can be any size)
Repeat from right edge toward center.
Repeat on bottom.
Add score/fold lines on the upper and lower sections starting with an M fold. (to the R and L of the cut points on both cut sections)
The tall middle section also starts with an M fold.
