Neat fun fold card 3 ways! With free tutorial & video

We made this special card at my January card clubs. They could choose between 3 colors and themes too!

Save

I featured the Addressed to You stamp set for all three cards. See the cute ovals & rectangle with the ‘filled in’ images on the right? Those are all part of this unique stamp set! See it here.

Save

I used the retiring Textured Notes dies seen here. They’re the stitched edge rectangle dies used twice on this card. They are on the last chance list right now and reduced in price too!

This card opens with a type of flip/flap feel. Here’s how we cut off the tabs on the card base. Once you score your card you’ll make a pencil mark from the top and bottom at 1″. Then trim off the corners.

Save

My colors include Pool Party, White and either Pretty in Pink, Fresh Freesia or Peach Pie.

I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, supplies and step by step directions. Click here to print or download it.

More details:

• I used the images that finished the lined oval & rectangle to decorate the inside ‘left’ edge on the cards.
• We used Blends markers to color in the small images.
• The DSP is the Beach Boardwalk designer paper for the left edge.
• The greetings are from the stamp set called ‘The Right Words’ seen here. It’s one of my favorite greeting sets.

I was in the middle of the video tutorial for this card but the video failed right before I started the project. And I made my last packet. So I do not have a video for it. But hopefully the project sheet above helps you out.

  I chose to feature the stunning Season of Green & Gold specialty designer series paper seen here online.  It's filled with shades of green with gold foil accents and is part of our Online product line.

  I cased my friend Susie Wood who made the card on the left below:

  She used the Regal Flora designer paper in Cherry Cobbler with Blackberry Bliss. So very pretty!  Find more projects by my talented friend from Iowa here on her blog. 

  I love this neat fold!

  Details:

  • The pretty gold die-cut is from the Peaceful Season bundle seen here.
  • The greeting is from the Something Fancy stamp set seen here
  • The leaf die-cuts are from the Delicate Forest dies seen here

  Look at the extra details inside too. Wedding cards are fun because you can go over the top a bit! This gorgeous card will be given to my youngest son who's getting married this week.  I'm so thrilled for him and his fiance'. We're excited to welcome her into our family!

  It used a pieces of designer paper measuring 12" X 5 1/4" that is adhered to a card base of 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  It's scored at 2", 4", 8" and 10". Then the corners are folded down. Here's the simple template I drew:

• New, beautiful Splendid Autumn card kit to go; now with an exclusive video tutorial!

  September 11, 2024

  Stampin' Up! knows we love scenic designer series paper and they created another winner with the Splendid Autumn DSP. I chose to feature it for one of my September card kits to go.

  Each of the cards are a unique fun fold layout. I chose these designs specifically to show off the pretty papers. 

  I offer both a pre-cut kit with products or the PDF tutorial option.  Both include the tutorial and now an unlisted video on how to assemble each card!  The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after purchase from my shop. The video link is emailed to you soon after.  The pre-cut card kit is mailed out at the end of September.

  This month's kit to go includes the following:

  • 1/2 pkg Splendid Autumn 6" Designer Series Paper
  • a share of Faux Glass gems and woven gold leaves
  • a share of Wild Wheat rustic ribbon
  • both the PDF tutorial and the video tutorial

  Click here to purchase the card kit to go for $31 plus shipping. Click here to get the PDF tutorial for $16.  *see all of the available kits or tutorials here. 

  *this is the kit my subscribers will receive.   Subscribe here if you're interested in receiving a card kit filled with both products AND a pre-cut card kit.  My subscribers get their kits at a reduced rate.

  I used the Layering Leaves stamp set for my greetings. I LOVE it; it's a go-to for an all occasions greeting set.

  However you can substitute any greetings instead.  I specifically plan my cards kits so you only need greeting images; not a specific stamp set.

  *I'll share the other new kit for September tomorrow!
