How to make a Bendy Card

I was asked to show how to make a bendy card and this post will show you how to do that. These fun cards are suitable for any occasion and they fold flat for easy postage. Simply cut and decorate to suit whatever occasion you wish. Here are some similar cards I have made in the past.




If you find them hard to design, or would just prefer a ready made pattern,  I have added three patterns to my Etsy shop here. This file has 3 different styles.


Give it a go, they are a lot of fun.

Many fonts come with extra characters and letters that seem to not be available in Canvas Workspace. Here is shown a very simple way to use these glyphs. These add lots of interest to your projects.

You will need a character map and as this demonstration is done on a PC you can use the Windows character map or another free Windows app, Character Map UWP. Either way you will gain access to those seemingly unavailable extras in your fonts.
