Fancy Folds Quilt Card Dream Big

Four quilt-inspired squares have perforated corner folds, 
each decorated with matched-color offset accent triangles, 
open slightly to reveal second accent color square beneath. 
Folded squares are mounted edge to edge inside 
the front panel’s large window. 
Below, rectangular panel with window repeat 
smaller rectangles of accent colors, 
with “DREAM” and “big” word cut outs overlaid on top. 
Card measures approx. 5x7 when closed. 
Perfect for graduation, work promotion, achievement, 
friendship, birthday and more. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A side-fold card base
B front frame overlay
C folded squares (4)
D contrast inside panel for folded squares
(1 each of 4 colors)
E contrast triangle patches 
(4 each of 4 colors)
F lower front rectangle frame panel overlay
G patch inlays (1 each of 4 colors)
H word cut outs "DREAM big"
2. Fold the card base on perforation.
Position and attach the full-size frame overlay
onto card base front with edges and perforation fold
aligned.
3. Prepare each of the 4 folded squares by placing
face down on countertop and bending the four corners
toward center.
4. Open the square to position and attach a contrast
square within the perforation lines, centered.
Repeat for four squares with different contrast squares.
5. Position color-coordinated outer triangles onto
squares folded-in corners, centered with long straight
edge aligned along perforation fold, even offset
margin at right angle edges; attach in place.
Repeat for remaining three folded squares with
coordinated color triangles.
6. Use a bone folded or similar tool to firmly crease
the perforation folds of each folded square.
7. Position the lower rectangle with frame window
over the lower portion of front panel overlay,
with equal side margins, equal top and bottom margins,
then glue in place.
8. Position and attach each of the four color rectangles
snuggly side by side within the window cut out.
9. Position the "big" word and "DREAM" word cut outs
over the colored panels and plain space as shown,
and attach in place.
10. Position and attach the four folded squares
into the front overlay panel window, which will fit
snugly side by side, in two rows.
Here is the completed card.
