Hey! Welcome to this month’s Stamper’s Dozen Blog Hop! How do you like our new blog hop banner? We have some fun-folds for you this month. I am using the latest online exclusive bundle titled Simply Zinnia. Let’s take a look.
The Card:
You are going to love the bright colors of the Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper (DSP)! I made this fun-fold card by cutting and scoring as usual for a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card, then added one more score line. I flipped the cardstock over (top to bottom) on my Simply Scored tool and scored on the 2 1/8″ score line.
The Fun-Fold Details:

- Base – Granny Apple Green Cardstock (CS) – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/5″, score at 4 1/4″, flip top to bottom, then score on 2 1/8″
