This easy fun fold card has a floral theme and is sure to brighten someone’s day!
I am always on the hunt for effective card designs that aren’t too difficult to create and this one fits the bill! It’s an easy fun fold card – and I used some of my favourite retiring products. I used the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Series Paper as the main focal element for the card, and then used Magenta Madness (retiring 2020-2022 In Colour) for the card base. I always choose my colours for cardstock and ink from the colours used in the Designer Series Paper – Stampin’ Up! coordinating colours make it so easy! The sentiment is stamped in Garden Green, and I added the flower in the background for interest – but after I inked the stamp in Magenta Madness, I stamped it onto scrap paper a couple of times first so that the image was a faint background for the words.
The Magenta Madness cardstock is cut to 4.25″ x 11″ and folded in half, and then the front of the card is cut to leave a strip along the bottom. The inner card is Basic White cardstock folded in half. One piece of Designer Series Paper is cut so there’s a smaller strip along the bottom that gets adhered to the Magenta Madness cardfront strip, and the rest goes onto the Basic White card – so that the pattern is continuous. I think that’s the big thing to take away when you’re using patterned paper and you cut it into smaller strips or pieces to use – try to keep the pattern in the right order so that when you put it down, the pattern is continuous across the pieces. It makes this easy fun fold card look more impressive!
If you’re interested in other fun fold or fancy fold cards, I currently have two online classes with this theme (and more to come!). They are some of the most popular online classes I have – there’s the Fancy Folds Class and the More Fancy Folds Class. Not sure what I’ll call the next one in this theme…LOL. Once you purchase access to the class, you’ll have lifetime access! If you have any questions, you can always contact me.
In the meantime, this weekend has an intersection of holidays – so whether you are celebrating Easter, Passover, Ramadan, or just celebrating spring, I hope that it is meaningful for you and you are able to spend it with those you love.
