Hello! I’ve received many requests for a tutorial for my Rubik’s Cube infinity card, so today I finally found some time to craft and make this tutorial. Hope this helps!
For those of you who haven’t seen my original card, this is what it looked like:
The card we’re going to make today is slightly different – here’s the card front:
So, let’s get started!
You will need:
4 pieces of black cardstock, each piece of size 3″ x 6″
56 squares of cardstock, from six different colors, each square of size 1 1/4 ” x 1 1/4 “. For my cards, I used red, blue, green, yellow, orange and white.
Making the Card Base
First, score each piece along the long edge at 1 1/2 ” and 4 1/2 “:
Then, along the short edge, score at 1 1/2 ” but only the outer flaps (leave the large square in the middle intact):
Now, take two pieces and put them vertically next to each other (make sure the score lines on both pieces match)
Put strong double-sided tape on the small square at each corner:
Take off the protective paper from the tape, and put on top the other two pieces of black cardstock, but this time horizontally:
Our card base is pretty much ready, and now it’s time to enforce the fold lines, to make our “mechanism” work. First, fold “up” along the score lines on each side, and crease with a bone folder: (The photos show only the first fold, the second one is the same on the other side)
Next, fold “up” along the score lines at the top and the bottom of the card and crease with a bone folder. This photo shows the first fold:
Tip: If the folds do not go “smoothly”, I would recommend trimming the edges of the card just a little bit.
Decoration and Embellishments
Now, it’s finally time to decorate our card. This is very simple – first, plan where you want your sentiments to be, and put white square accordingly. Then, put the other squares in place, and try to make sure there are different colors on each row and each column.
To add finishing touch, add the sentiments and embellishments to the white squares. I have used stickers, but stamps would also work great for this.
That’s it! Here you can see the different looks of the card:
I really hope you will give it a try!
