The Never Ending Card

I love this card and try to make a new design of it every year at Christmas.  This year I decided to make 8 of them.  Yes, I'm crazy!  This was my Christmas card for the demo luncheon. 

Check out this video to see how the card works.

Here are more views of the four panels.

Start with (4) pieces of 3" x 6" card stock for the base of the card. Score each piece at 1-1/2" and 4-1/2". Apply Sticky Strip in the top left corner of one piece. (You really need to use a strong adhesive like Sticky Strip so this card will stay together once you start folding it.)

Attach another piece vertically over the horizontal piece that has the Sticky Strip on it. It is very important to get the corners of the two pieces attached perfectly square.

Apply Sticky Strip in the top right corner of the horizontal piece.

Adhere the second vertical piece by first butting the two middle edges together.

Flip the card over. Apply Sticky Strip to the bottom two corners.

Adhere the final piece by first butting the two middle edges together.

Start folding the card by opening it from the middle and folding the top piece up and the bottom piece down. You continue to fold this card by always opening from the middle and folding away from the middle.

You're now ready to add additional card stock, designer papers, ribbons, buttons, etc. This card really works best if you have at least two layers on each section.

Here are some drawings to give you the measurements needed for each section.

Have fun with this card.
