One Horse Open Sleigh Spanner fun fold card

I was surprised to see the One Horse Open Sleigh designer paper back in stock.  It was unavailable last week but it's back now.  I featured it in one of my July card kits to go.  See it here online.

This designer paper is so pretty; it's filled with beautiful scenes and soft prints. 

It's called a spanner card because of it's unique fold – the horizontal layer spans the card from side to side.

I added a few die-cut trees on the right side.  I colored them with Blends markers – adding brown and Gray Granite to the white. The greeting is from the Lasting Joy stamp set. 

The Gray Granite card base is a simple 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  Then you cut up to the score line at the 1 1/4" mark on front; on both sides. 

I added designer paper to the center panel and also to both side panels.  The horizontal piece 'spans' under the to side panels like this:

Measurements:

• Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" score at 4 1/4".  Cut up to the score line at 1 1/4". 
• Horizontal layer 5 1/2" X 1"
• Designer paper 2 3/4" X 4" and two pieces 1" X 4" for the sides.

This card was included in both my PDF tutorial and the pre-cut card kit to go; each card is a fancy fold.  I have just two kits left.  You can see them both here along with other kits and tutorials.

• Nature Walk card kit to go or choose the PDF tutorial option. Both include the exclusive video!

  February 10, 2026

  I had to feature the Nature Walk designer paper for a card kit & tutorial. It’s just gorgeous with deep, rich prints.

  I paired it with the new Covered in Flowers Accents from the Spring catalog, the retiring butterflies and White Baker’s Twine. See those pretty floral & botanical die-cuts on the cards? That’s the Flower Accents! They come in a large single sheet of thick pre-cut pieces. They’re white but can be colored or textured. They were so fun to use on these cards!

  3 of the 5 designs are fun fold layouts. The kit & tutorial include 2 of each. You can choose from the PDF tutorial for $16 or the pre-cut card kit which includes up to $20 in Stampin’ Up! product for just $31.

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

  February 9, 2026

  ---

  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!

  Save

  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.

  Save

  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.
