Do you look for different folds to add some spice and variety to your card making? A search of Pinterest yields so many options. When I spotted the Barn Door Fun Fold, I knew it would pair perfectly with Stampin’ Up!’s Circle Sayings Bundle. Find this bundle on page 19 on Stampin’ Up!’s brand-new 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. I’ve created many cards using this bundle which includes a versatile stamp set and a 2 3/8-inch circle punch. See more samples (another fun fold) by clicking here.
Circle Sayings Barn Door Fold
This fold is super easy. Be sure to watch the video included below to see step-by-step instructions for creating this card.
Card stock (Berry Burst) measuring 11 x 4 1/4, scored at 5 1/2
Trim a 1 1/2-inch x 5 1/2-inch pieces from the top front with your Stampin’ Trimmer
Adhere a piece of coordinating Designer Series Paper (Bright & Beautiful 6 x 6 DSP) 5 1/4 x 2 1/2 inches to the front panel that’s left.
Use the circle punch to cut a half circle from the “barn door” panel
Stamp your image on Basic White Card Stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4 inches. Be sure to align your image in the half circle so it shows through to the front of the card. Glue to the inside of the card. See the examples above and below.
Add embellishments as you wish.
Here’s the inside of the card:
In addition, I created a thank you card using the same fold and stamp set. The Designer Series Paper comes from the Countryside In 12 x 12 package.

This bundle s perfect for creating quick and easy cards. And it includes a variety of sentiments that work well for all occasions: thank you, birthday, hello, smile, thinking of you, and celebrate. Mix and match the images and sentiments with different papers and ink to create the perfect card.
Because You’re Awesome Card
Here are the measurements for the card featured at the top of this post. This is also a fun fold. (Be sure to watch the video to see step-by-step instructions for creating this card and to see the fun fold.)
Boho Blue Cardstock: 5 1/4 x 4 (scored at 3 1/8 and 2 1/2)
Night of Navy Cardstock: 4 x 2 3/4, 4 x 2 1/4, 4 x 1, 5 1/4 x 4

Here’s another sample created with the Circle Sayings Bundle. This birthday card uses a strip of 6 x 6 Brights (Granny Apple Green) Designer Series Paper and Berry Burst Card Stock embossed with the dot pattern from the Basics 3D Embossing Folder (an Online Exclusive). I love how the 2 3/8-inch circle punch fits perfectly in the second largest circle die from the Stylish Shapes Dies.
This bundle enables you to create a variety of cards and is compatible with different papers and colors. Here, it’s the Fresh as a Daisy 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper with the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder.
And, one more. I love this flexible layout and used the brand-new Bright & Beautiful 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.

It’s fun to get off the beaten path of card making and try a fun fold, handmade greeting card. These are cards that have an unusual or unique fold or opening. There are certainly lots of options. Today, I’m showing you what’s called an “open panel” card. Be sure to watch the video below to see exactly how I create this card. In the video, I give the card dimensions, paper measurements, and demonstrate the two-step stamping technique.
Trimming the Tree Open Panel Card
This card features the Trimming the Tree Stamp Set and the Tree Trimmings Dies. Buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent. Look for the stamp set in Stampin’ Up!’s 2022-2023 Annual Catalog. It’s available through May 1, 2023. The coordinating die cuts, however, are a limited-time offering — available only through September 30, 2022. It’s part of the Perfect Partners promotion. See the chart below.
These dies offer fun and creative ways to not only die cut the tree but to also decorate the tree images — from bows to ornaments and more. I also used the Festive Foils Designer Series Paper.

Fun Fold Sale-A-Bration Cards–Basic Directions
Start with a piece of coordinating card stock measuring 4 ¼ inches by 11 inches
Score at 5 ½ inches in your paper trimmer. Slide the paper over to the 2 ¾ inch mark and cut.
You’ll be left with a piece measuring 4 ¼ inches 3 ¼ inches. Save it.
Choose a Designer Series Paper. You’ll need one piece that measures 4 x 2 ½ inches and one that measures 1 x 4 inches.
Fold the card on the score line. Adhere the 4 x 2 ½ inch piece of DSP to that front flap.
Adhere the 1 x 4-inch piece to a 5 ¼ x 4-inch piece of Whisper White card stock. Place this inside the card.
Decorate the 4 ¼ x 3 ¼ inch piece as you wish. I added sentiments and an image to a piece of Basic White card stock measuring 4 x 3 inches. Attach to the front of the card on that small flap. Be sure to apply adhesive only to the left-hand side of the small piece so you don’t tape the card closed.
