I am not sure what this fun fold is called; it is a cross between a Z-Fold and a sort of close to a step card. If you know the official name of this fun fold, please let me know!
You can see from the side view how the top-folding card has a Z-Fold layer connected to the front of the card base. How clever!
Here is the card unfolded, so you can see how each of the pieces are attached.
I like this hybrid fun fold because you can decorate the outside of the card, display it, and still have plenty of room for a personalized message on the inside. There is no need to worry about placing embellishments in a certain place to avoid seeing the inside of the card.
To get the two colors on the gone to seed flower and stem, I used Stampin' Write Markers directly on the stamp instead of using an ink pad. I colored Night of Navy on the top and Pear Pizzazz on the bottom. I also used this technique for the flowers on the inside of the card.
I hope you give this fun fold card a try! The Frosted Floral Specialty Designer Series Paper is divine to work with and so shimmery! I love that extra touch of sparkle!
You can find the measurements and a supply list at the end of this post.
Thanks for stopping by!
