Fun Fold

Hi Happy Stampers! I love fun fold cards and giving them to well, everyone. I like the Double Z fun fold, it’s like giving a card in a card. Today I’m posting the birthday card I gave to my sister earlier this month. I waited to post to ensure she received the card since we live in different states. My sister’s favorite color is purple…not just purple, but any shade of purple. So what could be better than Perennial Lavender DSP, Highland Heather CS and Gorgeous Grape CS – the perfect color blend for a purple lover! 🙂

This card makes you think it’s a complicated card to make, but it’s not. It’s actually one of the easier fun fold cards to create. Here’s what you need to create this card:

Stamps – Painted Lavender; Unbounded Love (get an extra 10% off in June for this bundle); Heartfelt Hexagon; (I used the Big Hugs stamp from the retired Perennial Postage stamp set)
Dies – Stylish Shapes
Inks – Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, and Lost Lagoon (stamped off)
Paper:
- Highland Heather – cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ card base, score at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″
- Gorgeous Grape – cut 3″ x 9″ Z fold piece, score at 3″ and 6″
- Perennial Lavender DSP – 1 piece: 4″ x 5-1/4″; 2 pieces (coordinating) 2-1/2″ x 4″; 3 pieces (coordinating) 2-3/4″ square
- Basic White – Die cut 3 pieces using the 2nd largest square die (approximately 2-1/4″)
Other – Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (10% off in June), Paper Butterfly Accents, Brushed Brass Butterflies, multiliquid glue, mini glue dots, sponge daubers or small blending brushes

I truly hope you enjoyed today’s card as much as I enjoyed making it. Happy Stamping Everyone! Donna 🙂

Hi Happy Stampers! Today I have not just one, but two cards for you! Since the new catty came out, I have just been obsessed with using the Unbounded Beauty DSP. I am also infatuated with this fun fold card technique. The orginator of this fun is Susan Campfield. Since I watched her video several weeks ago, I have tweaked the fold a bit & it is so easy to create. I think I may even use it in my beginner class next month. Take a peek at the card I made yesterday while I was zoom Stamping with Kim’s Creative Stampede…

I only used stamps and DSP from the Unbounded Beauty Suite, ##163390; Perennial Postage Dies, #162607; Summer Splash CS, #163797; Basic White CS, #159276; Summer Splash Ink, #163809; Petunia Pop ink, #163811, and Petunia Pop 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon, #163785

The second card I made on Saturday. I used Pretty in Pink as my primary color and ran a couple of the basic white panels though my embossing machine using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder, #162935.

I used the Unbounded Beauty Suite for this card too. I also used stamps from the Heartfelt Hexagon set, #162882; Lifetime of Love, #162574; Pretty in Pink CS, #163793; Basic White; Petunia Pop Ink; Pretty in Pink Ink, #163807, Pretty in Pink Ribbon, #163784, and 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems, #163781.

Cutting Dimensions for these cards are very similiar:

Card Base – Cut CS to 5-1/2′ x 8″, score at 1-7/8″, 3-3/4″, 4-1/4″, and 6-1/8″
Panels – On Card 1 – I used 2 coordinating DSPs. I cut 4 of the larger Floral plus 2 center panels, 2 panels in other DSP, and 2 panels in Basic White. On Card 2 I used 2 coordinating DSPs – 2 panels of each DSP, only 1 little center panel DSP, and 4 basic white panels – 2 of which I embossed
- Panels are cut at 1-5/8″ x 5-1/4″, Center panels cut to 3/8″ x 5-1/4″
Scrap Summer Splash CS and Basic White CS to die cut desired center shape for the front of the card. Center piece (after stamping sentiment) is adhered using 3 dimensionals.
I fastened the ribbon using glue dots prior to adhering to the center dimensionals.

I hope you have enjoyed today’s cards and the Unbounded Beauty DSP. Happy Stamping everyone! Donna 🙂
