Hello, and welcome to the Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop! For today’s blog, we are challenged to post a fun fold card. I am certainly not the queen of fun folds! However, there are several that I turn to frequently because they are easy! The Double-Triangle Fold card makes the card interesting to open and is the one I am showing you today.
The Card:
The fun fold measurements:
- Old Olive cardstock – 8 1/2″ x 11″, scored in half both ways (at 4 1/4″ and 5 1/2″), then cut diagonally end to end and scrap to punch sprigs.
- Designer Paper – 4″ x 5 1/4″, cut diagonally.
- Bumble Bee cardstock – 2″ x 3 1/2″, die-cut with the fourth largest Stitched Nested Labels die and, 4″ x 5 1/4″ (inside)
- Basic White cardstock – larger scraps to punch with the daisy punches and 3 3/4″ x 5″ (inside)
- Early Espresso cardstock – scrap to punch flower with Strawberry Builder Punch.
The Details:
I am showcasing the Ornate Garden Specialty designer series paper (DSP) with triangled pieces on the front of the card. Using only one die (Stitched Nested Labels) to create this card, I used our amazing Stampin’ Up! punches to cut the flower and sprigs. Punches are so quick and easy to use! A true confession: I punched the Early Espresso center of the daisy with the retired Bunny Builder punch. However, the new Strawberry Builder punch has a small flower that would work great too! There, I feel better. LOL!
I used a dimensional to layer the two slightly curled Basic White petal pieces together, then added the Early Espresso center. A single dimensional is holding the daisy to the die-cut Bumble Bee layer. I added the punched sprigs behind the flower, as shown. Finally, I glued the unit to the left panel only, careful not to apply glue exceeding that area. I added Gilded Gems to the flower’s center and a couple more on the card for the finishing touch.
The Inside:
Because this card can be used for almost any occasion, I oped to keep the inside simple. The daisy is stamped with Early Espresso ink and colored with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Blends. I can always stamp the inside sentiment as the need arises. Does anyone else do that?
I hope I have inspired you to create a fun fold card similar to this. Now it is time for you to hop along to the rest of the talented demonstrators in this group.

Beautiful and elegant card. This is a great one to have on hand to be prepared for so many different occasions!
Thank you, Sharon! It came together quickly and I am pleased to have it in my “stash.”
Beautifully done, Judy! I love that fold. I haven’t used it in awhile, so I need to brush it off and play!
