Double-Decker fun fold card with video tutorial and free project sheet

Here's the second card we made at my September card clubs. It's a 'Double-Decker' fun fold card. 

All About Autumn Double Decker Save

It features the pretty All About Autumn specialty paper that is so popular it's been hard to keep in stock! It should be back around the middle of October.  See it here.  

ALL ABOUT AUTUMN 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) SPECIALTY DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

For the circle die-cuts I chose to use both Stylish Shapes for the Vanilla circles and Deckled circle dies for the Early Espresso circle.  The die-cuts in Vanilla & Copper Clay are from the Magical Meadow dies.

The greetings are from one of my favorite stamp sets in the Holiday catalog – So Sincere.

A double-decker card is where the center layer is popped up by a small box attached to the inside, back of the card like this.

Autumn Leaves doubledecker Save

You need to adhere the back layer before adding this box. Then you top it with your center layer; for my version it's a piece of designer paper.

I added a second circle to the inside designer paper layer for signing.  But one of my smart customers thought of adding it to the back so it doesn't cover up any of the pretty paper. A great idea!

  • Gorgeous cards with my ‘5 at a time’ templates! Free project sheet, templates & video tutorial

    I shared these beautiful cards on last week’s Live video. They were a big hit!

    Save

    I love making cards with my 5 at a time templates. Making the most of my card stock gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I hope you’ll save these templates and use them in your own crafting.

    Below is the template I stamped on; it’s slightly smaller than the one I used for layering. I often use this or the larger one for the neutral layers inside my cards.

    Save

    Tip: I recommend making your first cut vertically at 4 3/4″. Then cut the left 3 pieces into 3 1/2″ layers. Once you cut all 5 pieces you’ll have one small piece left for a greeting or for punching.

    Next is the template for layering the above ‘stamped’ pieces on. It’s just slightly larger – 1/8″ so it’s quite a narrow margin.

    Save

    The above template has even less waste! It’s so nice to get 5 layered card pieces from 2 sheets of 8 1/2″ X 11″ card stock. Please save these templates!!

    In the past when I made cards with these templates I stamped before cutting the 5 pieces apart. This was a bit tricky to stamp in the right place. This time I cut my pieces before I stamped on them. *Always start with your greetings!

    As you can see I made sure I stamped three pieces landscape and two vertical. This isn’t necessary but it does change your cards up a bit.

    Save

    I used Cherry Cobbler, Timid Tiger; and Pretty Peacock here. I like adding Pretty Peacock and Cherry Cobbler to my fall cards. The stamp set is called Gathering Moments seen here.

    Tip on stamping – always stamp the greeting image first. Then start with the largest image and work your way down to the smallest to fill in any gaps. It’s okay to overlap your images.

    As you can see I blended a light wash of Timid Tiger over the stamped leaves. This softens the appearance and truly enhances your stamping.

    Here you can see the stamped pieces added to the larger layers from the 2nd template above.

    Save

    These were made simply with no punches or die-cuts. Sometimes it’s fun to just stamp and create. You can easily add the greetings on another layer (punches or die-cuts) to add more dimension.

    I’ll share my second set of cards using this template later this week. And I’ll also show the fabulous card box I made to gift them in!

    See how pretty they are once they’re added to the card bases and gems and twine have been added.
