Just Magnolia - My Tent Card Tutorial

EDITED:  I have added the tutorial to my blog!!!!

Tent Card


1. Cut cardstock to the sizes below. This card can be created to any size you like, I am going to show a card that measures 6” x 6” when complete.

2. Score the 4”x 6” piece every 1” down the long side. This will create the bottom of the card. Fold in the valley, mountain, valley, style.

3. Glue the design paper to the base cardstock to create the front panel, then, cut out the shape that you want the image to “dangle” from. You will be cutting through 2 thicknesses, but it will align much better this way.

*Make sure the shape that is cut out is not too far to the top or bottom. When attaching the folded piece to the bottom you don’t want the fold to show through the opening. There should be a small space at the top for hanging the image.

4. Now attach the smaller folded piece to the fronts and backs making sure you align them before setting the glue too firmly.

5. The card should now look like a tent when standing. Punch a small hole in the top of the image to dangle and the top of the front panel where it will hang. Use jump rings to hang your image.

It can be held together on the sides or the center with ribbons, brads, or whatever you like.

The back side can be decorated also with sentiments or other images.

Recently, Bev asked me if I would do a tutorial on the, Just Magnolia Challenge Blog.  Well, there is just no way I could turn that down.  I love that challenge sooo much!!!  I racked my little brain to figure out what I could show that maybe you haven't seen before or better yet, that you would actually want to try! ha ha!  This is what I came up with.....

Now, I remember this type of card from when I was a CTMH demonstrator YEARS ago.  My friend and I always made them, but with a half of an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of paper.  Now that everyone uses 6x6 I had to revise a little. This first one is made with a 6"x12" so it is a little shorter than the one on the bottom that is with the tutorial instructions.  You really can use any size you want, it is up to you and your envelope size.

If you stop over at the Just Magnolia Challenge blog you will see a little tutorial I put together.  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK on how to create this card.  It is sooooooo simple you just won't believe it.  I don't have a picture of the back, but this is where I put my sentiment like what you would put on the inside of a card.

Now for the big news!!!!!! She asked me to join the Just Magnolia team!!!!! You just don't know how excited I am, since I LOOOOVE Magnolias.  It's just one more reason to play with them! Yippee! I can't wait to get to know the team and start working with them!

I hope you like my little tutorial!  It was such an honor to be asked to do this.  Thank you, Bev and Just Magnolia team!!!!
