This past Wednesday during my Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook, I shared how to make a card that folds into a short-sleeved shirt. This fold has been around for years. But the Wrapped in Plaid Designer Paper brought it back to mind for me. I paired this paper and this fold with the stamp set called A Good Man and created this card for one of the make-n-take projects I did with my demonstrator team three weeks ago.
I uploaded the recorded version of my Facebook Live video to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). And then I was able to share it here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products list below the photos, and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for these cards.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.

MY ONLINE PAPER CRAFTERS CLUB IS LOOKING FOR NEW MEMBERS
I’m forming a new Paper Crafters club that will begin mid-November (with orders due mid-month for December, January, February, March, April, and May). And we are looking for more to join us. The commitment is to order at least $25 worth of Stampin’ Up! product in each of those 6 months. In one of those months, you would reap the hosting rewards (free merchandise based on the club orders). And then you’d also be able to get in on monthly product perks that would be sent to you along with your monthly club cards.
I just watched the plaid shirt card video and love it. I’m fairly new to making cards and am excited to make this one. So glad I found you!
Oh, I’m so glad you are giving this a go! Thanks Cecilia.
As always just so inspiring. Thank you for sharing and for a chance to win. jman4@comcast.net
Aww…thanks Janice. ?
Love this new card. Watching the replay now. Thank you Rachel! Love it!!
Hugs to you Dora! Thank you.
It’s such a pleasure to watch your videos. It starts my day off right. The short sleeve shirt will make a darling card… thanks for the instructions.
You’re so welcome. Thanks Jeanine. ~Rachel
I think this is such a cute card. I assume using cardstock instead of copy paper makes it too bulky. I enjoy watching your videos. Thank you
Thanks Kathy. ? Yes, cardstock will make the folds a challenge especially up by the collar area.
I enjoy your videos so much. It’s like having you right in the room teaching me. I remember making a card like this many years ago. It is really cute and goes so well with the plaid dip paper collection!
Thanks so much Val. You’re sweet. ? Yes, an oldie but a goodie.
I love shirt cards. I made these years ago. Ty for sharing this fun fold again. Can’t wait to make this again
This fold need to be revived with this paper. LOL
I live in Shoreview man My daughter lives in Andover in the new development by Great clips and McDonalds. I am going to watch your video on the shirt card. Love to see masculine cards with out animals and sports hope to see more thanks
Such a small world! Thanks for commenting Connie. Nice to meet you.
I love this card but the measurements on the sleeves and the collar did not work for me. Is this the correct measurement?
I’ve made several (about 20 using these measurements). And I haven’t had anyone that said the measurements were off for them. So sorry you aren’t finding them to work for you, though Dana. hmmm…not sure what to say.
will this card fit in a normal card envelope ? 5 1/2 x 4 1/4?
Yep! 🙂
Really cute shirt of which I am going to make
Thanks Lucyann 😊
