Good Friday morning my stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Is anyone doing anything for the weekend? I’m working Saturday, but as of now I don’t have to go in on Sunday, YAY! It’s been a long couple days for me here. My daughter went away with her friend and family, so I haven’t had my side kick around. Her and I do almost everything together. I don’t know what I will do when she moves out for good (more crafting I’m guessing). I can’t complain, I don’t know any 22 year old’s that want to spend time with their parents like she does.
For today’s card I tried another new fun fold to me. It’s a quarter fold card and it’s really a lot easier that it looks. I had this card done so quick I had to double check I was doing it correctly. Here’s my card for today.
This card uses 2 – 1/2 sheets of cardstock. I started by scoring a 4 1/4″ X 11″ Bumble Bee card base at 2 3/4″ and 8 1/4″. I then scored an 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ Bumble Bee card base at 2 1/8″ on each end. So you are starting with 2 Gate Fold cards.
I adhered the 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ card base inside the 4 1/4″ X 11″ card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue as pictured above.
I cut 4 pieces of Flowers For Every Season 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper (measurements below) and adhered them to the Bumble Bee card base, while the card was closed to make sure I got them in the correct place, using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The DSP panels are 2 different sizes, so do a dry fit to make sure you put the correct piece on the correct card base panel. Directions below on how to close the card.
On a panel of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the small sunflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Cling Stamp Set in Bumble Bee Ink. I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Best Year Cling Stamp Set in Cinnamon Cider Ink above the sunflower. I cut the image out using the 2nd die from the Hippo & Friends Dies. I don’t usually buy dies without the stamp set, but this die set is awesome. There are so many framing dies I just had to have it. I adhered the die cut sentiment to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals just on the top left side. You only want the Dimensionals there because of opening and closing the card. I added a few Just Jade 2020-2022 In-Color Enamel Dots to the sentiment.
On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Best Year stamp set in Cinnamon Cider Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in the 2 corners of the panel in Bumble Bee Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Cinnamon Cider mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
This card makes a great Gift Card holder too. Once you fold it up, the gift card is on the inside and can’t fall out. Now onto how to fold the card.
1 you fold in the left panel.
You then fold the top panel down. It’s just like folding a box up.
You fold the right side over, tucking it under the sentiment.
You fold the bottom panel up and tuck it under the sentiment and under the right side like you would fold a box up.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the small sunflower image from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set in Bumble Bee Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Flowers for Every Season 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!

I always look forward to your Friday posts. Great card with such beautiful paper. I saw this the other day on You Tube. You’ve done a fantastic job illustrating how to make it. I’m anxious to see what Mary does too. My daughter lived with me until she was 23 and up and got married. It wasn’t easy letting go but you’ll do just fine. I still had a 17 yr. old son at home but I wasn’t crafting then. I should have been because he left for Alabama when he was 18 but now he lives with me again and I’m crafting…LOL. Have a great weekend.

Thank you so much Karen 🙂 My 25 year old son is still living home to, but it’s different with boys. I think my kids will be with me for a long time, they can’t afford to go out on their own in NJ, too expensive. You have a great weekend too
