To get these sheets to fit on a page, print them with your printer set to no margins and no header/footer. Press "print preview" before printing to make sure you will be getting the entire sheet.
We'd like to first thank Karen's Whimsy for providing the ship and window pictures used to create these sheets. The rose images used are from a vintage gardening book.
These instructions can be applied to the additional sheets available above. To make the Father's Day card shown start with a blank white 6.5 inch X 5 inch greeting card or fold your own. Cut out the 2-view sheet and the greeting. Now we're going to fold the 2-view sheet like an accordion. You always want to start with a valley fold, then alternate mountain folds and valley folds.
These first 2 pictures show how to get started. You can start at either end. Fold the first strip over, lining it up with the second strip on the sheet:

Now just keep folding the entire sheet like an accordion as shown below:
When you finish folding the entire sheet, put glue or double sided tape on the back of the first strip and the last strip. Position the folded sheet on your card and glue or tape it down about 1/2 inch from the card edges. Now just glue the greeting in place and you're done.
