Let’s Create Simple Fun Fold Cards and Step It Up

Fun Fold card

I’m not sure what to call today’s fun fold cards. They can be quick and easy and slipped inside a gift bag or step it up and make it a card/gift card holder all in one.

First up is this St. Patrick’s Day card which can easily be used in a gift bag or just a little something to give to your friend.  Super quick and easy to create with just a 1/2 sheet of cardstock and some of that gorgeous Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper; which is FREE during Sale-a-bration.  I can’t believe it hasn’t sold out yet!

The Lucky Clover Bundle is no longer available as the punch is already SOLD OUT!  You can however still purchase the stamp set and I will show you how to create this super cute card in the video found below in this post.

As you can see this card has just a card base and the mini fun fold card on the front is where you put your inside sentiment.  So really this is a mini card with a full size card base; so it does fit inside a regular envelope.  Just a little something cute you can whip together in no time.

Here are the measurements:
Card base is 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
Dandy Designs Paper: 4″ X 5 1/4″
Mini Card Thick Basic White: 4 1/4″ X 5 1/4″ scored at 3 1/4″
Dandy Designs Paper: 1 3/4″ X 4″, 3″ X 4″

Now let’s make the same card for a Fun Fold Birthday Card:

I call this little cat in the cupcake liner “Fat Kitty” because when Sophia was little we bought her a stuffed kitty that looked just like this and she called him “Fat Kitty”; she still sleeps with him to this day.

This little card would be perfect for a Birthday party  to slip inside the gift bag.  It has just enough space on the inside of the mini card to write a little something or stamp a birthday greeting.

The measurements for this card are exactly the same as the St. Patrick’s Day card above.

Now Let’s Step It Up a bit for a Double Front Fun Fold Card with a Gift Card holder inside:

Here we have Fat Kitty again and this time I made a double front fun fold birthday card with a spot for a gift card on the inside.  So I basically just took the simple layout from the first two cards and instead of a card base I made it into a full size card with a pocket for a gift card or cash on the inisde.

The stamp set that I used for this card with all the sentiments; each layer has a different sentiment and they all came from the Best Day stamp set that has Fat Kitty in it.  A super cute set for kids cards or a cat lover.

This double front fun fold birthday card  is simple to create and fun to flip and read the different sentiments.  To accent my card I used the Pastel Adhesive-backed Sequins which I think went perfectly with the Dandy Designs Designer Series paper.

I’m not sure what to call this type of fold, what do you think?
