You are going to laugh when you watch my video today.. I was seriously intimidated by this Fun Fold card, and when Cindee taught me how to make it, I just laughed because it's so seriously easy!!! I have a VIDEO tutorial for you as well as FREE tutorials at the bottom of this post!
The photo below shows 4 versions of the Fun Fold card.. I will share details on the 2 Botanicals cards today, and then share details on the Birthday Blossoms and Tea Cup card tomorrow!
Be sure to WATCH THE VIDEO below for all the details!
Watch the VIDEO below, or click here to see it on YouTube.
The cards below are created using the Botanicals suite of products, NEW on pages 26 and 27 in the 2016 Stampin' UP! Occasions catalog. Did you notice it's the centerfold!? eek.. such a beautiful 2 page spread!! I've used the Botanical Gardens designer paper, the Botanical Blooms stamp set, the Botanical Gardens Cardstock pack, the Botanical Builder Framelits and the Botanical Gardens Washi Tape!

As you begin to open this card, you can see right away how easy this card really is..
This 1/2 sheet of cardstock is just scored twice, then punched with a 2" circle punch!! How easy!
I stamped the images with the Grateful Bunch stamp set, found on pg 22 of the Occasions catalog.
Isn't that a fun card! I love this quick and easy card that just really packs a lot of WOW punch!!
Below is the card I made with Cindee when I stamped at her house in December. You can see her card here.
I love the Cajun Craze Scallop under the top flap.. that's from the Cutie Pie thinlits… be sure not to overlook the extra pieces in the great framelit sets!
We also used a fun new FREE Sale a Bration product on our cards.. did you spot the pretty patterned Botanical Gardens Designer Vellum? It's on pg 4 of the Sale a Bration catalog, and you can get that FREE when you purchase the Botanical Suite Bundle I mentioned above!! Or, select any of the other 10 free gifts in the Sale a Bration catalog with your $50 purchase!
I die cut a flower in the 4×4 Whisper White piece of cardstock to allow the Hello Honey cardstock to show through, then stamped one of the Botanical Blooms flower images in the center! Such an easy touch that lends a lot to the card!
Feel free to print and save the instructions below for the Fun Fold Card. I have 2 versions for you, mentioned in the video. You can either make 2 cards from an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock, or make 3 cards from a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock.
As mentioned in the video above, here are the 2 variations with dimensions, cutting and scoring info.
Above: create a Fun Fold card with an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock
Below: create 3 Fun Fold cards with a 12" x 12" piece of cardstock

Patty, Thank you so much for the tutorial! I absolutely love your videos. You are so easy to follow. I love this new Botanical Suite so much! Can’t wait to get this!
Love the card. I love new ideas and this is a good one. Thank you.
What a fun card design! Thanks for the easy to follow tutorial Patty! I can’t wait to try this
Patty this card is fantastic- love your print out sheets. Can’t wait to make this my self!
Hi Patty I love these cards. I am going crazy over here. I followed the measurements but it does not fold correctly. Is anyone else having issues? I cut at 41/4×11 and scored at 41/2 and 81/2. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
So happy you are all enjoying it.. thanks to Cindee for showing me!
Carmen, the instructions say to score at 4-1/4″ and 8-1/2.. so your scoring is just a little off.. I’m sure it will work when you score it at 4-1/4″ instead.
Love your cards!! Sometimes I have found that a few fun folds are not so fun, but you have done such a wonderful job of instructing and showing us step-by-step. This fun fold will be fun. I am looking forward to making these beautiful cards. Thanks again for all you do for us. Words sound a little weak, but I am so grateful for all you help us with, and all you share with us.
Best wishes, Karren
Thank you Patty. I just noticed that I was off on my scoring. I need to get my eyes checked. Lol.
So cute and will try to make some tomorrow. Great video and thanks for the tips and tutorials. Edna
Love . . . Love . . . Love this card design. I am going to make a few right away. Because I am going to use up some of my 6×6 paper shares, I am going to cut the top piece 4″ x 1-3/4″ and add the scallop edging to the bottom edge of the DSP.
Always look forward to your ideas!
these look like a lot of fun to make. thank you so much for the tutorial. I really work better with written out patterns
Really cute card! What size envelope do they take and do they require extra postage due to irregular size?
Hi Patty! Love the tutorial you gave on this, but I can’t download your PDF to print it off to take to my craft room to do it. Any suggestions as what I can do? I will let you know now that when I do download to my computer the it becomes a E pdf, now this usually is not a problem to convert to Adobe pdf and print, but something won’t let be do that. 🙁
I love your flip card. I tried one myself for a Thank You card.
I would love to win your retired folders.

Thanks for sharing, they are so cute. I haven’t made one yet but I am also wondering about the size of the envelope.
Patty, Thankyou for sharing this tutorial. It is awesome and I can not wait to CASE it.
Awesome Patty! Congratulations! This project is one of my most popular pins this week and is being highlighted on my blog today. Thanks for sharing. Kylie xx
Thanks for sharing these, and the video, and the tutorial!!! I love them and I’ve also always been a bit like – whoa nope they look complicated – but you’re right – they’re easy once you know how! And now I do – so thanks 🙂
thank you for sharing I love washing yours videos and way you tutorial thank you so much it to work for me, IM ENYOND
Going to try this at my next card class. What size envelope does this fit in?
They fit in the regular medium sized envelopes for a normal 1/4 sheet card, Marie.
am unable to print a clean copy of your page, project pictures, or instruction sheets. the right and left columns overlay the pages along with alot of bulleted items. I printed a copy of the first 19 pages, and they are all the same – overlayed with other printing. would like to send these copies to you so you can see what’s happening. can you fix this? it seems to have started when SU downloaded new websites for the demonstrators. all the websites print right and left column info over the content, but yours also prints the bulleted info, obliterating the info I am trying to print. any suggestions for me? or, can you work with SU to get this repaired? I really miss being able to print your project instructions to take to my craft room when I want to make a project.
thanks for whatever you can do to fix this.
Thank you for your great tutorial. I love these cards! I did them in class and everyone was excited.

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I did one of these cards and just want to check one thing. It looks great from the front, but the back when I flip it over shows a half circle with the white paper insert showing through. Did I make it correctly?
Love your cards. I am wondering if the stampin up stitch dies can be used on a cuttlebug machine? Sue
