Floating Hexagon Adventurous Sky Card This is such a great fun fold! I had a lot of fun designing this card with the Adventurous Sky Bundle. There are lots of samples and videos on-line showing how to create this fun fold. Here are my directions: Cut Thick Basic White Card Stock to 5 3/4" x 5 3/4" score both ends at 1 1/2". Fold both ends into a valley fold. This is the card base. Cut 2 pieces of Thick Basic White C/S to 6 3/4" x 1 1/2". Score both at 1/2", 2 1/2", 4 1/4" and 6 1/4". Fold all score lines into mountain folds. These are the struts. Cut 2 pieces of the Take To The Sky Designer Series Paper to 5 1/4" x 1" and 2 pieces of Basic Black C/S to 5 1/2" x 1 1/4". Attach the DSP to the card stock layers and attach to both sides of the card base. Cut 1 piece of DSP to 5 1/4" x 2 1/4" and 1 piece of Basic Black C/S to 5 1/2" x 2 1/2", attach the DSP to the C/S and attach to the center of the card base. Cut 4 pieces of DSP to 1 1/2" x 1" and Basic Black C/S to 1 3/4" x 1 1/4", attach together and adhere to the corners sections of the struts. Cut 2 pieces of DSP to 1 1/4" x 1" and 2 pieces of Basic Black C/S to 1 1/2" x 1 1/4", attach together and adhere to the middle sections of the struts. Add some adhesive to the left side tab of one strut and lining it up with the top edge of the card base, glue it to the back of the card base. Do this to the second strut on the bottom left lining it up with the bottom edge. ONLY attach the struts on the left side at this time. See photo. Cut 3 pieces of Window Sheet: 2 at 5 1/2" x 1/2" and 1 at 5 1/2" x 5/8". Using Glue Dots, attach the wider Window Sheet to the inside of the center section of the strut and the other 2 to each side of the struts on the sides. See photo. This is where your planes and clouds attach to so they appear to be "floating". Attach the right sides of the 2 struts to the back of the card base completing the "hexagon" shape. Stamp 1 big airplane and 2 small airplanes using Memento Black Ink onto Basic White C/S. Die cut and colour using Stampin' Blends. Stamp the clouds in Boho Blue Ink onto Basic White C/S then die cut or fussy cut. (I found it faster to fussy cut them). Using Glue Dots, attach the 3 airplanes to the Window Sheets. Attach the clouds to the Window Sheets and to the inside of the card. I used Dimensionals on the inside clouds. I attached the inside clouds last so I could position them so they wouldn't be blocked by view from the planes. Die cut a Silver Foil propeller and attach it to the big airplane. I then added a Black Matte Dot or a Rhinestone coloured with a black Sharpie Marker to the center of the propeller. I added some Wink Of Stella to the clouds. Stamp the sentiment using Memento Black Ink onto Basic White C/S, flag trim one end and attach to a slightly larger piece of Poppy Parade C/S. Attach to the bottom middle section using Dimensionals. You can add your message to the back of the card base. I hope you can find some time to try out this fun fold! Have you heard about Stampin' Up's Sale-A-Bration promotion?
