Christi's Creative Crew: Chevron Fold Card

I learned a new technique called CHEVRON FOLD by Patty Bennett

She followed the instructions from Mindless Crafting

I had a bunch of scraps from the SEASON OF ELEGANCE, and you only need 5 pieces of 2-1/2" x 1" to create the chevron - then you can create whatever card you want.

HOWEVER...when I first saw her card all I could see was Charlie Brown's yellow shirt with the black chevron across the front

I googled to see if Charlie Brown had a birthday, and low & behold, he does!! He had a birthday on October 30th. This is what google said

Charlie Brown is the only character to appear in the first comic strip from October 2, 1950 and the last one from February 13, 2000. According to a 1950 comic strip, his birthday is on October 30 but no strips from October 30 in subsequent years make reference to this.

So...my first chevron fold card HAD to be a Charlie Brown card

I have a friend that was letting me borrow some of her Charlie Brown stamps so I used one of those for the inside

When I watched the video she said that her card front to hold the chevron was 4" x 5-1/4", but when I assembled it the chevron hung over the edges of that size. Therefore, I cut my Christmas card 5-1/2" wide (x 3-3/4") and when I added the chevron, I ended up having to trim off the edge because it didn't go all the way to the edge. Who knows!! Always be ready to alter!!

I have a fellow Charlie Brown/Snoopy friend so I will save this card for her birthday

In fact she bought me this cute calendar for 2025

We made another card for the Tuesday stampers, based on a card I saw on Split Coast Stampers

Super fun! It was a big hit!!
