You’re probably tired of hearing me say this but I’m ready for FALL!!!!! Give me that cool weather and those colored leaves.
Since I’m so ready for those colored leaves I knew I wanted to use Stampin’ Up!’s gorgeous Beauty of the Earth Designer Paper on today’s fun fold. Don’t you love the color combination on this pattern? Night of Navy, Merry Merlot and Cinnamon Cider!
This fun fold is pretty easy to make. You only need two pieces of colored card stock, two pieces of designer paper, two pieces of Basic White cardstock and your embellishments/stamps. For tools you will need your Simply Scored or your Paper Trimmer with a scoring blade, your Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and your Layering Circle Dies.
I used my favorite Stitched Leaves Dies to embellish the card. A stamped image would work well in the focal point circle also but I seem to be on a die kick. I’d rather find a die that works for my project than stamps and ink. Yes, it’s kind of weird. Hopefully this is just a phase I’m going through. Ha!
Here is another view of the card. You can see how the top flap opens up and that the circle is part of the base of the card. (You also can see more of that gorgeous designer paper!)
These two photos show you the two different sides of the card. The photo on the left shows the inside and the photo above shows the “outside”. These photos give you a good idea on how the card is put together.
I’ve posted a video below with some tips and tricks for putting this fun fold card together. The fun fold isn’t hard to make, it’s just easier with these tips and tricks.
