Using Two Tone Cardstock for Fun Folds

I stocked up on all of my favorite Stampin’ Up! colors of Two Tone Cardstock to create these gorgeous fun fold cards to send to friends for birthday celebrations!

A collection of handmade floral-themed birthday cards, each featuring colorful patterned paper, layered circle accents with "Happy Birthday Wishes" in green script, and various vibrant backgrounds, arranged on a gridded crafting mat. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

The 2 reasons I loved using my Two Tone cardstock for these Fun Folds:

  1. It’s 12″ long – the size needed for this fun fold card
  2. You can see both sides of the paper – the light and dark side – when the card is folded!

The cards are open, revealing colorful flower designs and stamped greetings. Scissors and other crafting supplies are visible in the background. Text appears at the top.

If you’ve followed me for long you know 2 things about me: I love florals, and I love combining colors and patterns. These cards, created with the Stampin’ Up! Florals in Bloom paper achieve both!

I am so happy that Stampin’ Up! has released all of our colors in Two Tone cardstock! See them on page 77 in the catalog, and if you haven’t already, check out my Rainbow Order post, because I used the rainbow color order on that page to organize my cardstock, ink pads and Stampin’ Blends markers.
