Hi friends, recently I’ve made these fun Multi Bend Cards.

There are endless ways to decorate these and change the layout of the bendy parts.

I’ve made a few styles and given the measurements for each style below.

I’ve made 6 x 6 & 5 x 7 versions and they all fold flat and will fit into an envelope.

SUPPLIES USED TO MAKE THESE CARDS
