Super Easy Fun Fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


Free shipping continues through Wednesday, December 11th.  All orders over $75 qualify.

I shared this simple but unique fun fold card on last week's Live video.  It's a great card fold and makes great use of your designer paper too.  

It's called a back fold and is so easy to make! The greeting layers are adhered to the right edge of this card. It holds the left flap closed but opens easily since there is a scored line. I hope you watch the video below to see how it's done. 

It features our Take a Bow designer series paper from the Holiday catalog.  I also used the Christmas Labels bundle for my greeting image and die-cut. 

The White die-cut is from the set of dies but it was quite easy to layer a red shape under it.  I fussy cut the upper & lower edges to match. The green glimmer die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops dies and our Festive Glimmer paper.

Below is the video I made for this card and another diagonal fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper!  I hope you watch and make some.

  • Have you made a ‘Book-binding Easel’ card yet? It’s so neat!


    This cool card is made like a traditional book binding fold but turned into an easel card too! 

    I used Berry Burst & Misty Moonlight or Blueberry Bushel for my layers. That cute tag on the front is from the Beautiful Balloons dies.  The stars that hold up the easel are die-cuts from the same dies.  You need to add a Dimensional on one of them. Watch the video here or scroll down. 

    You can see this bundle here online.  

    I stamped the inside with the banner in multiple colors, some stamped off.

    Here's what the card looks when it's flat: 

    I am so glad that we have Berry Burst back! 

    Measurements:

    • Berry Burst 4 ¼” X 11” score at 4 ¼” & 5 ½”, 2nd piece 4 ¼” square
    • Misty Moonlight 3 ¼” square & 1” X 4”
    • DSP 3” and ¾” X 3 ¾”
    • white 4” square

    You can see the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper  here.  

    *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in June's card kit to go.

  • Beautiful Balloons with Bright & Beautiful designer series paper


    I've been playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle and thought making my own background with the balloon images would be cool.  

    I chose a few of our newest colors to compliment the Bright & Beautiful designer series paper seen here.  My colors are Bubble Bath, Lemon Lime Twist and Boho Blue.  I love that the images appear somewhat translucent like real balloons.  

    *I'll be featuring this fun designer paper in next month's card kit to go. 

    It's an easy fun fold card too. I stamped the greeting on a stamped large balloon and die-cut it with one of the dies in the bundle.   

    Measurements:

    • Bubble Bath card stock is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" & scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4"
    • designer paper is 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
    • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2" 
    • Black 3 3/8" X 4 5/8" 

    I had fun stamping the inside (3 1/2" X 4 3/4") with the balloon string and confetti images.

  • All of the Little Things kit with an alternate fun fold card idea!


    I had time to stamp some kits last weekend and thought I'd share them with you. I do love our kits!  Such enjoyable and stress free creating! I did it at a crafting day at our church. All I took with me was adhesive, a bone folder, paper snips, and the kit!

    The cards below were made with April's 'All the Little Things' Paper Pumpkin kit.  I made most of them as the kit directed me to. 

    However I changed the greetings so I could use them as thank you cards. Such a gorgeous kit this is!  If you're a Paper Pumpkin subscriber did you know you are eligible to get the refills when they become available?  The refill kit includes all products in the original kit except the stamp set & ink spot.  But you already own those so it's easy to make more cards. you can get the refill for this kit here. 

    Today, May 10th, is the last day to get in on the Exploring In Color Paper Pumpkin kit. More information below.


    Each month I create a few alternative ideas and share them with my subscribers and my Team; here's a peak at April's projects. 

    Here's one of the cards I made.  It's a floating panel card!

    Here's a quick example of how to make one.  Score your (5 1/2" X 8 1/2") card twice – at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then add two folded strips of card stock (about 1/2" X 2" each) on that center front fold – both folds meet on that scored line. Add adhesive to the top area and add your top panel to it.  Done!  

    I LOVED making these cards!  If you want to subscribe to Paper Pumpkin with me, here's a link.  

    Or if you'd rather purchase a subscription you can do that here. 

    Remember that with Paper Pumpkin you are in charge of which kits you receive; pause if you don't like the next kit. But as a subscriber you are eligible to get any of the available refills or add on items.  

    Hint: June's kit will include an add on die-cut option!
