New Fun Fold Card with Patterned Paper

images copyright 1990-2022 Stampin' Up!®

When I saw a friend give another friend this fun fold card last week, I knew I had to share it with you! Because I've never seen it before, I have no idea what it is called. So, I'm dubbing it the Vertical Double fold card. It is a perfect way to show off that gorgeous patterned paper you've got in your stash. And it's so easy to make!

One thing that I love about this card is that the base is just a vertical half sheet of cardstock. Some fun fold cards end up using a large portion of an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock leaving you with smaller scraps. But, you could make a complete card with one sheet of cardstock with this design. (Of course then you wouldn't get contrasting colors, so maybe make two cards with two sheets!)

We made this card during this week's Stamp with Me Tuesday - Fabulous Fun Folds. If you'd like to see exactly how to do the fold, watch the video replay. I've also got a FREE downloadable Quick-Reference Guide for you below.

Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Best Butterflies Fun Fold Card Idea

My first card uses the Best Butterflies stamp set and Butterfly Kisses patterned paper from Stampin' Up!® I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut a stitched square and circle for the focal points on both layers.

This card was so easy to make thanks to Stampin' Up!'s awesome color coordination! I didn't have to spend time trying to match colors. Instead, I checked the color list on the package of Butterfly Kisses patterned paper, chose three, and pulled those colors of ink and cardstock out to create my project. Easy peasy!

Sale-A-Bration Card Design

This second card sample uses two different Sale-A-Bration items. The Rings of Love patterned paper which you can get FREE with a $50 order and the Amazing Phrasing stamp set which you can get FREE with a $100 order. I have been using the Amazing Phrasing stamps on everything lately! It is such a great stamp set. If you want either of these items, you'll have to hurry. Sale-A-Bration ends August 31!

Like the first sample, I used the Stylish Shapes dies to cut the pieces for the focal points on each layer. I stamped the sentiments on these. The rest of the images are cut from the Rings of Love patterned paper. I added a couple of sprigs of greenery on the second layer where they would show when the card is closed.
