As in one one my earlier post I shared with you guys that I love craft work. So, here is another post sharing knowledge on "Types of greeting cards"
Types :
1) Standard Fold Card
The most basic fold, this Standard Fold technique allows you to fold a single piece of card vertically or horizontally once in half, ready to decorate as you wish. The end result will see a rectangular card shape, both card panels an equal size to fold precisely together.
2) Square Fold Card
The Square Fold Card is very similar to the Standard Fold Card, however instead of folding the card into a rectangular shape, it's folded into a square. Made from one sheet of card, both card panels will also be an equal size to fold neatly together.
3) Gatefold Card
A Gatefold Card opens, as suggested, like a pair of gates parting in the middle. With three panels altogether, this type of card has two folds – each creating a flap that meets in the centre.
4) Tri Fold Card
This type of card fold is pretty straightforward to make as you won't need any extra materials to make the base. Identical to leaflets, this Tri-Fold Card folds twice to make three panels instead of two. All three panels will be equal sizes to fold precisely on top of one another.
5) Aperture Card
An Aperture Card has a shape cut out of the front cover, folded over with a design framed in the window. Folded similarly to a Tri-Fold Card, there are three panels with two folds. The aperture hole is created in the central panel, while the left panel is folded and stuck down to form the back of the window where the design sits. The card will then open like a Standard Fold Card.
6) Accordion Card
The Accordion Card fold is similar to a Tri-Fold Card, however instead of folding twice to make three panels, you fold three times to create four separate panels – like an accordion. All four panels are exactly the same size, so the three folds will be at an equal distance apart.
7) Rocker Card
Rocker Cards are really simple to make – once you've folded your card once in half, all you need to do is cut an even curve out of the bottom. The tricky part is ensuring that the curve is even, or else it may not work. When your card is stood up, it should rock when touched!
