Template help

[shellyj]

On one of the shopping channels yesterday I saw someone making a 'stationery card' which was basically like an unfolded envelope shape folded in 3 with a wrap around it. Does that make sense?

Does anyone know where I could get a template for this shape card - preferably downloadable

Do you mean like a case to put other cards in, or a card by itself? If you can describe more precisely what you mean I can make something for you.

[shellyj]

It was actually the card itself Sara. I'll try to explain it a bit more. If you think of a sheet of card divided into 3 equal parts. The middle section is rectangular then the outside sections fold in and are curved so when they fold over you can see a small section of the inside.

Sorry really not explaining this very well.

something like this

sort of but not really
If you take the top flap off, make it more of a long rectangle and curve the side flaps it would be closer
Am I making any sense at all

I have seen something similar to what you describe...I think it was a sizzle die that I saw. I will search for it for you.....

[Tootsie]

I found what I was looking for...but don't think I can link here. When the card is closed it is kind of a flower pot shape....is that the one? If so search for pocket card and it will show up I am sure.

like this maybe - scroll down to envelope template

Do you mean an envelope card ? Instead of cutting the left and right hand side of the card on a diagonal / you cut the outsides on a curve - I've done this using a plate as a template.

If it is an envelope card, then you can leave it where both sides fold in and open - or - you can adhere them down, and use a large tag as an insert.

... is this what you want ?

[shellyj]

ooh nearly there Cal - if you lose the top flap and change both the sides into semi circles i think that would be it.
I'm thinking for wedding invites so the details would be stuck onto the rectangle bit in the middle and a wrap would hold it shut

Tri-fold pocket card maybe

[Sara@Paradise]

That looks lovely, and it's beautifully done.

If you google gatefold card template I think you might find what you are looking for.

Lin - thats it - well almost - need the bottom the same as the top - so its not a pocket just a fold. Having seen all these ideas i think I will probably be able to cobble something together now. :thanks;
