Hello Everyone! I wanted to share a fun and simple fun fold card idea with you today. I learned about this fold from Susan Campfield, she called it a Double Dutch Door fun fold. I made this card with the wonderful Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (DSP). The dies in the coordinating bundle perfectly cut the bird images from the DSP in the card shown below. The other birds (cardinals shown above) need to be fussy cut from the DSP. You can watch me make this card on Facebook HERE, or click on the YouTube video below:
For this card, you open the top first, then open the bottom "doors" to see the inside. The sentiments I used on both the front and the inside came from the Merriest Trees stamp set.
Measurements for this card (in inches):
- Gray Granite: 4-1/8 x 8-3/4, score at 5-1/2
- Gray Granite: 2-1/4 x 8-1/2, score at 2-1/8 and 6-3/8
- DSP (Pool Party): 3-1/8 x 4 (front) and 1/2 x 4 (inside)
- DSP (birch pattern): 2 x 2-1/8 (cut 2)
- DSP: Die-cut or fussy cut the bird images for front and inside
- Basic White: 3-1/2" square to die-cut a circle with Deckled Circle Dies, then emboss with Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder)
- Basic White (greeting strip): 5/8 by 2-1/4 (or however long your sentiment is)
- Basic White (inside): 4 x 5-3/8
