When I was in elementary and middle school our art teachers would
have us create these cute pictures, which had 1 image on one side when
looked at an angle and another image on the other side when looked at
from the opposite angle. There's a company who manufactures this style
of paper in different themes. But because we're scrapbookers and
cardmakers I figured it wouldn't be too hard for us to do. Create these
unusual framed embellishments for your cards in minutes by just
folding.
Supplies:
- Ruler
- Trimmer with Straight Blade & Scoring Blade
- 2 papers or photos same size
- 1 solid piece of cardstock over double the width of the 2 papers
- Adhesive
- Photo Mat (optional)
Instructions:
- Cut 2 sheets of paper in 1/2" strips.
- Score and fold at each 1/2" interval forming a valley fold for the
first crease and a mountain fold for the next repeating the two folds
to the end. Make sure you have the left and right sides which can be
glued down to your project and enough 1/2" strips to cover your entire
project.
- Adhere the 1/2" strips of the 1st paper/photo to the left side of
the folds. Leave the far left side blank to adhere it to your project.
- Adhere the 1/2" strips of the 2nd paper/photo to the right side of
the folds. Leave the far right side blank to adhere it to your project.
- Adhere the left and right side flaps to your project. For example,
if you have 5 Mountain Tops, you should have 10 total sides and 2 flaps
(or half mountains) which can be glued down on each side. Cut off any
excess paper from either the left or right sides.
- Now, as you turn your work from one side to the other side you should be able to see alternate images.
- Embellish as you wish, even use ink on the edges of the paper or sand the edges to give it a distressed look.
Have fun and I hope you like this project. I sure do!
