Bendy cards are fabulous display cards that are perfect for creating three dimensional scenes. The sides of the card bend inwards allowing it to stand up on it's own and creating tiers that can be individually decorated. The finished card can also fold down flat for normal postage! There are hundreds of beautiful examples on the internet, so when you get the chance, I thoroughly recommend doing a Google or Pinterest search to get some ideas and inspiration. 1. Start with a piece of cardstock measuring 12" x 6". Score and fold at 4" and again at 8" to create a trifold card. 2. Measure and mark 3" from the bottom of the left hand panel. Use scissors or a craft knife to cut away the top section as shown in the photo below. Measure and mark 11/2" from the bottom of the right hand panel, and again, cut away the top section. 3. Flip the card over. Use a pencil to draw a 1/4" border beside the outer edge of both the left and right panels (see photo below). Now measure and mark a 1" reserve in the centre of each border - these reserves will become the tabs that hold the panels in place. 4. Use a small pair of scissors to trim away the excess cardstock leaving just the 1" tabs. 5. Flip your card back over again. It should now resemble the photo shown below. 6. Use a pencil to draw a vertical line on the centre panel, 1/2" from the right hand side. 7. Now bend the left hand panel so that the tab edge is flush with the vertical line you just drew on the centre panel. Make sure the bottom edges of both the left and centre panels are flush. Use your pencil to mark the position of the tab, as shown below. 8. Use a craft knife to cut a slit along the vertical line, between the two tab marks you added in the previous step. (I removed a thin piece of cardstock by cutting two parallel slits very close together). 9. The tab on the left hand panel should fit nicely into the slit you just cut. As you can see below, the panel now has a bend in it. 10. Open out the card again and flip it over. Use a pencil to draw a vertical line on larger panel (which is now on the right hand side), 1" from the fold line. See the photos below. 11. Flip the card back over again. Fold the larger panel, which is again on the left hand side, into the middle. You should be able to see the vertical line you drew in the previous step. 12. Now bend the smaller right hand panel so that the tab edge is flush with the vertical line. Make sure the bottom edges of the panels are flush. Use your pencil to mark the position of the tab, as shown below. 13. Use a craft knife to cut a slit in the same manner as you did in step eight. 14. Starting with the left hand side, place the tabs into the slits. You have just created a bendy card! 15. Now it's time to decorate. Here's what I did... I used the card blank as a template to mark the centre slit on a piece of X-Press It cardstock measuring 6" x 4". (To make this piece of card fit comfortably in the centre of my bendy card I removed a sliver from one side). Next, I stamped and coloured some flowers and a sentiment on the X-Press It cardstock. I also stamped, coloured and fussy cut some butterflies. I adhered my decorated cardstock to the centre panel of the card blank, making sure I lined up the slits carefully. Using some small, sharp scissors, I fussy cut around the top edge of the image leaving a small white border. I drew some wavy lines along the tops of the two panels... ... then cut along each line for a softer effect. I added another sentiment to the smaller panel and then adhered my butterflies with some strong glue. Done!

Mini Bendy cards
Hello everyone. I'm delighted to be presenting today's Saturday Step x Step at Frilly and Funkie. I would like to familiarize you with a rather old card fold that isn't used or seen too often. It's simple to make and extremely versatile. I'm going to share two entirely different versions of the same basic idea and then I will show you the 'how-tos'... Bendi cards have two crossing flaps in the front, that bulge away from the back panel. This version uses die cuts and stamps to create a little scene... I love the little bicycle, leaning against the white picket fence and the brads holding the wheels on... inside, the card is lined with patterned paper, a border of grass and a little cluster of tags that hold the sentiments... Another segment of the picket fence and some stamped flowers... The opposite side (and shortest flap), have picket fencing that matches up with the fencing on the front along with some more die cut, leafy foliage... My next card is a bendi card with an entirely different mood... This card has a higher back panel and in this instance, it was die cut with Tim Holtz's Alterations die, 'Butterflight'... Along the top, a second set of butterflies top the die cut edge. They are distress inked around the edges and then treated with a thin coat of distress stickler... Each of the edges of the two lower, crossing panels is edged with cut-out butterflies... The inside, back panel of the card has two more butterflies and a whispy, lovely triple bow and trailing tails... The view from above shows the two 'pockets' that are formed by the two panels that cross at the front. Here's a basic guide to help you create your own Bendi card... These are the dimensions of the panels I began with, while making the first card. Curves will be added to the left and right flap later, to suit the particular design... Score a half inch from the inside edges of the flaps. These half inch tabs will be attached to the back panel and will fold around to the front. At the outside edges of the flaps, draw a line a quarter (to 3/8's") from the outside edge of each flap and cut a tab with sloping sides into each end, cutting away all the paper except for the tabs... Two and a half inches from the flap that will attach the left flap to the back panel, draw a light pencil line. Place the shorter flap on top of the taller flap (right flap over left flap) with right sides facing out, lining up the bottom edges. bring the right panel up to the line with the tab hanging over the pencil line, then make two pencil lines, showing where the right flap's tab will insert into the left. Using a craft knife, cut along the pencil line, just exceeding the marks for the tab, ever so slightly... Next, draw a light pencil line vertically on the back panel, 1-1/4" away from the right edge. Lay the left flap on top of the back panel, bringing the flap up to the line with the tab over the line and with the bottom edges lining up. Make two pencil marks (shown above) as guides to show you where the tab will be inserted into the back panel. Cut that space open as you did in the previous step... Now you can attach both flaps to the back panel. I prefer to use a very heavy duty, double sided tape for this job. Then you can insert the tab from the left flap into the back panel... and then the tab of the right panel into the slot on the left flap. Now you can see your basic card shape. For my butterfly card, I wanted a higher back panel, so I cut the butter flight border using a much longer panel of paper than I needed. This was so that I could adjust the height of the panel after the die cutting. The left flap was cut to 4-1/2" in height x 5-1/2" in width. once the flaps were attached to the back panel, I did some serious cutting, making a curve so that this flap was 1-7/8" high at the point before the tab. The line cutting it down is curving not straight... I needed lots of butterflies, two for the top edge, that were placed on top of the original die cut to add dimension and then an assortment to cascade down the top edges of the two flaps. Since there are four different styles on this die, I cut out 7 additional die cuts (all at once- this style of die has no problem going through multiple layers) and proceeded to cut out two or three from each die cut. You can see in the photo above, that it is possible to cut into the bottom of the card stock or another butterfly figure, so that you have complete butterfly designs. Usually, I had one butterfly per die cut that had to be cut into in order to achieve whole butterflies... Using an ink applicator, each butterfly was treated to some rough distress inking. It wasn't necessary to be very careful about the distressing because of the next step... Place a dab of distress glitter on your finger and apply it over each butterfly. It was necessary to use this amount on each half of a butterfly... Again, it isn't necessary to be particular in the application. The irregularities that occur were very much to my liking... This is what the card looked like after the initial application of butterflies. If you scroll back up, you will see that each of the panels edges was distress inked. Some additional butterflies were added and then some ribbon and bows. I stamped a sentiment on the back panel, but this card construction is wide open for interpretation! I hope you give it a try some time.

The day has arrived ~ our Creative Crew gallery for Januaray 2011 goes live at 1pm Eastern Time! There are 4 main themes for this months' gallery: *Mini Occasions Catalog Focus* For these projects, I used the new 'Baby Blossoms' set which is just SO versatile and easy to use. I love the vintage 'shabby chic' feel of this set. It was a lot of fun putting this card and box together. *Designer Paper/Colour Combo Focus* Love Letter DSP/Vanilla, Black, Riding Hood Red. I used the new 'Valentine Defined' stamp set for this project. The definition 'Valentine' was embellished by stamping it twice, the main image was in Basic Black, but the 2nd time I stamped in Riding Hood Red and cut out key words and popped them up on dimensionals to give the card some visual interest. This card is made in the CAS style. The black ribbon was awful to photograph, for which I apologise, but it does look good IRL! A lot of people have a hard time with CAS cards, but the main idea is to stop, stop, stop and don't over embellish. I would say that my most comfortable stamping style is this one. The main image on this card was actually stamped THREE times and layered. I'll add an extra pic to show you how great it looks popped up. *Holiday Focus (Valentine's Day)* I am so happy with this card. I was inspired by a Christmas Card I received from a friend in England which had a really unique 'bendy fold'. I couldn't wait to translate it into a Stampin' Up card and LOVE how this turned out. I do have a tutorial if you'd like to contact me for a copy :) *SB (Scrapbooking) Focus* I'm not much of a scrapbooker, but I did love these pics of my daughter Sarah taken a few days before Christmas. An inexpensive frame and some embellishing using the new Springtime Vintage fabrics and seam binding ribbons and hey presto, a scrapbook inspired photo frame which is going over to my parents in England for their kitchen wall. Like all proud grandparents, there is a section of wall COVERED in photos of their 2 grand- daughters! I hope you've enjoyed a little peak into my projects for the Creative Crew gallery.

This is an old style but newly discovered card fold. I was inspired by searching bendi cards and a tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. I am not sure about you, but I often find following tutorials with measurements difficult, so usually I end up rewriting them for my own use later. Adjusting measurements and simplifying steps as I go. So this one is as much for me, as it is for you! Step 1. You will need a piece of cardstock in your favourite colour ( this one is mint Macaron). Start with a piece 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and Cut this into three pieces, so you have: 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" 5 1/2" x 2 1/2" 5 1/2" x 1 3/4" Step 2. Score the two smaller pieces at 1/2" from one end. (This will be the tab that wraps around the back of the card.) Step 3. Score the other end of these pieces at 1/4". Step 4. Cut a small tab from the 1/4" side, on the two smaller pieces. Step 5. is to measure 4" on the large back piece and draw two dots either side where your tab will insert. Step 6. And using your blade make a cut / slot the size of your tab. Step 7. Next take the larger of the flaps and measure 2" . Place 2 dots where the smallest tab will insert and cut with your blade to make a slot. That's how they look ! We are almost ready to glue and construct the card. Step 8. Cut a gentle curve in the two small flaps. Step 9. Add some strong "tear and tape" adhesive on the scored tabs ( I think the tape should have gone on the other side). But you get the idea. Step 10. Construct and decorate your card. The tape adheres to the back of the large piece and the tabs slot into the slits (as above). This part is the creative bit where we begin to decorate with die cuts, patterned paper, vellum and stamping.
