Fold and Tuck Cards

I was super excited to find that Lori Whitlock had developed a collection of incire cards for the Cricut Joy.  I have been intrigued by this technique for years but had very little success either using a craft knife or the Martha Stewart punch.  Now, thanks to Lori, I can master incire cards!   

Double sided designer paper - pattern should not detract from folds and second side must be a bold contrast with premium side.  

Insert - American Craft foil - not flimsy, needs to be sturdy enough to stay in place through insert slits.

 I like the simplicity of this design - could be a sympathy card made in dark blue or purple.

 See the hearts?  However, the raised center cuts make it unsuitable for mailing but they could be removed in DS using the Hide Contour button. 

Boldly patterned paper detracts from the fold pattern.

Just for fun!  

A double fold adds dimension.   Lori's samples are white with a contrasting foil insert.

I hid the outside contour and then attached the fold cut lines to a circle.  The cross comes from the Inspired Heart cart and is backed with blue glitter paper.

AC foil, punched butterfly.

I had to glue the tips of these little folds.   Note to self - try this with a green backing plus red 'berries' for a wreath on a Christmas door?

You can tell that I had fun with these svgs!   Stay safe!   : )  Christine
