Video Tutorial for this Easy Folded Card

Here's the step-by-step video tutorial for this easy diamond gate fold card. Seriously, you're gonna love how easy it is!

Handmade Floral Card with a Fun Fold

I made this floral card with the Frames & Flowers Designer Series Paper pack from Stampin' Up!®️. This pack comes with three pieces of patterned paper and 3 pieces of punch out designs. It makes it so easy to put together a handmade card. Just grab a couple of punch out frames or flowers, stamp a sentiment, and you're ready to go. This sentiment comes from the Everyday Details stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Fun Fold Card with a Beachy Theme

For this fun fold card, I grabbed the Seaside Wishes stamp set and the Country Woods patterned paper, both from Stampin' Up!®️ I stamped the sand dollars in Crumb Cake ink, but I stamped them off on scrap paper before stamping them on the cardstock for my card. Then, I added some Calypso Coral star fish and Pool Party dots.

Handmade Birthday Card with a Fun Fold

I did the diamond gate fold with the Wildly Flowering patterned paper this time. Then, I stamped some butterflies and the sentiment from the Sketched Butterflies stamp set from Stampin' Up! I used Moody Mauve ink for the butterflies. Then, I colored over them with a blender pen. This pulled the pink from the stamped image into the open areas of the butterfly. This technique works particularly well with reds and blues.
