Birthday Fun Fold Card

By | May 18, 2020

Over the weekend I looked through some of my older cards and came across a fun fold card and thought I would use some of the retiring Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Paper to make a few cards using the design. While today’s card may be more kid themed, remember we are all kids at heart!

Here’s a front view of the card:

Here is the details on how to make the card:

  • Card stock base 5½” x 12″ scored at 4¼”, 7¾” and 11¼”
    • Turn and score at ½” to the last score line (11¼” score is close to the top) and at 1¼” to the first score
    • Cut away the thin excess paper from the scores
  • Fold and burnish all score lines
  • Card stock for front 2¾” x 4¼” (adhere to the ¾” section of card stock)
  • Designer Series Paper
    • 2 – 2½” x 4″
    • 2 – 3¼” x 4 ¾”
    • 1 or 2 – 4″ x 5¼” (2 if you want one for the back of the card)
  • Card stock for signing – 3″ x 4¼” or size of your choice
  • For the front I used three punches to adhered animals
  • Banners from designer series paper – one adhered direct to card base, one adhered with Mini Dimensionals

I’ve spread out the card so you can see all the panels.  For the signature area I’ve used the tag die from the Bonanza Dies die cut from Whisper White and matted on a piece of the designer paper.  The finishing touch is bow made from the Daffodil Delight Ruched Ribbon.
