Learn to make this GREAT Fun Fold card

I hope you enjoyed my weekly live video yesterday to show you how fun and easy it is to make this Diamond Gate Fold fun fold card!! I received a card with this design from my friend Susan and I immediately figured out how to make it because it’s just so cool!! I later found out that she learned this design from Connie Stewart.

  8. Hi Patty, I’m one of your downlines. I don’t know if you remember but Karolee Smiley and I use to attend your stamping classes a long time ago. I still follow your blog but I need you to change my email address to lmankoski@yahoo.com. I’m retired now (for 20 years) but Karole is still teaching science so we don’t hold classes together any more but still communicate. (I just turned 80.) I work only in the daytime and teach cards and layouts to senior citizens, I enjoy my groups and they (my clients) have a lot of good ideas that we share. So if you could change the email I would very much appreciate it.
