(New Post) Exploding Fun Fold card

 Exploding Fun Fold Card

This fun fold is so easy to make. I saw this easy fun fold on Tammy Beard's Stampin' Savvy Blog. See her post Here. Thanks for the inspiration Tammy!

We made this card at my March Card Club! If you live in the Delta BC area come by and join us! We have a lot of fun!

This is my card. It opens up to reveal a fun surprise inside!!

Card Front Directions:

Cut a piece of Polished Pink Card Stock to 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 4 1/4" and 5 1/2". Burnish on the score lines.

Seal the spine portion of the card closed.

Cut the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper to: 1" x 4" for the spine portion and 4" x 4" for the other front portion. Attach both pieces to the card.

Cut a piece of the White Frayed Ribbon, flag cut both ends and attach to the card front.

Die cut a Basic White C/S label using the Sentimental Park Dies.

Stamp Happy Birthday using Night Of Navy Ink. Attach the label over the ribbon using Dimensionals.

Die cut a Basic White C/S floral stem, cut off the end and glue tucked a bit under the label.

Die cut a 2022-2024 In-Color 6X6 Glimmer Paper butterfly, attach using a Dimensional.

Add some 2021-2023 In-Color Opal Rounds to the floral die.

Inside Directions:

I used a 6X6 piece of the Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper that coordinates with the card front DSP.

Fold the DSP in half, burnish, open up and fold in half in the other direction, burnish. Then open it up and fold on the diagonal. The diagonal fold is only done one time. Pushing in on the diagonal folds, manipulate the DSP until it folds inwards. 

Lay this DSP inside the card with the opening of the DSP facing out. Center it so that it is fully inside the card on all sides. It just fits!

Glue the 2 unfolded squares to the card. Start with one side first, add glue, close the card, then open it and glue the opposite side. Now when you open the card the DSP pops out! 

Cut 2 pieces of Basic White C/S to 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". Stamp sentiment, flower, stem and border stamp using Night Of Navy, Polished Pink and Soft Succulent Inks. 

*Tip: stamp on the diagonal! 

Cut 2 piece of Balmy Blue C/S cut to 2 3/4" x 2 3/4". Attach the Basic White C/S squares to the Balmy Blue C/S squares and attach inside the card. Add an Opal Round to the flower center. 

I hope you have enjoyed todays Fun Fold Card! I enjoy sharing with you and I hope I have inspired you!

Happy Stamping and Creating!
