I’m so excited about these cards… they are just so FUN!! Maybe that’s because they are fun fold cards. Best of all they are Quick & EASY fun fold cards!!
I used the Simply Scored to make my folds, but you can also use a paper cutter with a scoring blade or if you’re really old school even a ruler and a bone folder would work.
Watch the video above to see how easy it is to make and you’ll be wowing your friends with fun fold cards in no time!
Paper Sizes:
Card Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 1-1/2″, 3″, 5-1/2″ and 8″
Small Panel: 1-1/4″ x 4″
Medium Panel: 2-1/4″ x 4″
Large Panel: 2-3/4″ x 4″
Just score your card stock, accordion fold your card and add embellishments. It’s that easy!!
TIP: Be careful adding adhesive to your embellishments that hang off the side of a fold. You don’t want to tape your card shut! {ask me how I know}
You truly can make a fun fold card for ANY occasion. Here’s a fun Easter card…
How cute is that little bunny peeking out? Here’s what it looks like when you open it…
To make the grass, fold a 2″ strip of heavy green tissue paper not quite in half, add a line of Tear & Tape Adhesive just above the bottom fold and cut with Fringe Scissors. Want to see me do it? Scroll up and watch the video.
Go ahead and give this Quick & Easy Fun Fold a try!
Happy Stamping!
