I was excited to try this new to me fun fold! It is called the Landscape Display Panel Card and was made by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstator Heidi Smith based on the portrait version made by fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator Susan Campfield. Susan called her card a freestanding floating panel card.
This fun fold card can stand up on its own, making it an idea display card! You can see from the overhead view photo below that there are three panel areas - a smaller panel in the front, a larger panel behind it, and a center panel across the back of the card base.
For my landscape display panel card, I envisioned a tree lined forest scene with leaves changing to reds, oranges, and yellows with just a touch of gold embossing powder. I used the tree stamps from the Beauty of Friendship stamp set to make the row of trees across each of the panels. The grass is made by lightly swirling Garden Green ink along the bottom of the panels. I wanted the emphasis to be on the tree leaves and the greeting.
The gold embossing powder adds a bright metallic shine that pairs well with the brilliant red, orange, and yellow of the trees' leaves. The embossing powder also embellishes the card without adding extra bulk to this already thick fun fold card.
This fun fold card does fit in a A2 envelope and does fold flat. However, this fun fold is bulky because of the scoring and the layers of panels. I don't recommend adding too many 3 dimensional embellishments to your card to avoid having to purchase a special gusseted envelope.
There is plenty of room on the back of the card to write a special message. I repeated the trees growing together from the center front of the card to the back of the card.
