This week, I’ve been playing with elements from Stampin’ Up!’s new Gathering Together Suite Collection. With a stamp set, coordinating dies, Designer Series Paper, ribbon, embellishments, and embossing folder, it’s a perfect choice for fall crafting. I’m loving the large leaf images. Find this suite as part of the newest Online Exclusives release. Click here to shop for the Online Exclusives. Click here to view a full-color PDF of the newest releases.
Today, I share a fun fold I’ve used with other stamp sets and papers. The fun fold is easy to replicate, and it really is a fun fun fold. Here’s how the card looks when it’s open.
Measurements and Details
Early Espresso cardstock base measuring 4 1/4 x 11. Scored at 2 3/4 and 5 1/2. Click here to watch a YouTube video showing how this fun fold card is created with different papers and a stamp set.
