You may remember a couple months ago I shared this circle fun fold card idea with you during my Earthen Elegance Back Fold Card video, and I said we needed a separate video for this circle fun fold… well, now we have it!! This fun Z fold type card with a peekaboo circle was just perfect for the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive So Very Merry set!

Please enjoy the video replay at the bottom of this post if you’d like to make one of these circle fun fold cards! (and scroll down for dimensions)
This card uses a full sheet of cardstock (or two half-sheets if you want 2 colors) and I recommend a circle die instead of a circle punch. You can hear more about that in the video.
I used the Stylish Shapes circle and stamped both the angel and Santa images with Memento Black ink on the die cut circles, then colored them with Stampin’ Blends markers.
The designer papers used today on my 2 Christmas Cards are from the upcoming Holiday catalog, to be released on 9-6-23. The paper on the angel card is called Winter Meadow and the paper on the Santa Card is called Merry Bold & Bright.
If you want to pop up your die cut circle, see the TIP below. Close up your card, put dimensionals in the 1/2 circle opening, then place your die cut circle in the die cut opening.
Stampin’ Blends Color Combo for the Angel card:
My 2nd Circle Fun Fold Card today also features the So Very Merry stamp set, but this time the Santa image, and a little more whimsical design. I used the Merry Bold & Bright paper and a Soft Shimmer die cut Christmas tree from the upcoming Merriest Trees bundle. The cute “ornaments” are actually new flat self-adhesive discs from the holiday catalog!
The inside sentiment comes from another new holiday catalog stamp set called Joy to You. The cardstock and ink are Sweet Sorbet.
This fun modified Z Fold circle fun fold card is really a treat to open, I’m sure any recipient would love to receive one of these!

Is there a way to download the project and materials used to a PDF? I would like to print it out to help try to make them.

Thank you for the tip.
Thank you so much for the fun fold and tips; I so appreciate everything you share with us. I prefer the red card base Santa card as there’s not enough contrast for my eye on the green card. I would also add Wink of Stella to the white parts of Santa and the angel wings😊
Oh that is such a brilliant idea with the Wink of Stella.. thank you!!
