I am not sure of the official name of this fun fold, but I do know that it is a variation of a flap fold. The card opens by lifting the top flop to reveal the message inside of the card. What a cute way to open a card!
The flap fold card base when folded is 4-1/4" by 5-1/2", so it can fit easily into an envelope and two card bases can be made from 1 sheet of 8-1/2" by 11" cardstock. The basic layout of this flap fold card doesn't use a lot of materials, making this an economical card and a card that you can customize to your occasion and materials on hand.

The focal point of today's card is a 3" by 3" square of Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper. This size piece of designer series paper makes me so happy because you can evenly cut 16 squares from one sheet of designer series paper with no scraps left over.
No little bits to throw out. No small pieces to figure out how to use. Nope. Not a one. I can see using a sheet of designer series paper to create 16 flap fold cards to make a gift. You could use the front and back sides of the designer series paper and a variety of greetings too!
It is so easy to hold on to designer series paper because it is so pretty. I am totally guilty of that, too! But, we should use it and share it. My stamping goal this year is to find ways to use up the designer series papers that I have so loving organized on my shelves.
Let's do this! Let's use our designer series papers and share their beautiful patterns with family, friends, and our community members! Are you with me? What are some of the ways you use your designer series paper? Leave a comment below. I would love to hear your tips and tricks to use designer series paper!
