With Father’s Day right around the corner, I thought I would share a few masculine themed fun fold card ideas with you this week. And I have two different ways you can use this fun fold design in your cardmaking. The cards feature the Gone Fishing Bundle and a variety of products from the Let’s Go Fishing Suite. However, keep in mind you can use any supplies you have on hand with this fun fold design.
Fun Fold Design
First let’s talk about the fun fold design. To create the card base, start with a 4-1/4 x 11 inch piece of cardstock. Score the 11-inch side at 5-1/2 inches to create the base of the card. Next, cut off a 1 x 4-1/4 inch piece from the card front. If you are making a landscape style card, such as this one, you will cut a 1-inch piece off the right side of the card front. Save that piece as you will be using it to decorate the card.
Now that you have created the card base, you can decorate it with any supplies you have on hand. For this card, I am using the Let’s Go Fishing Designer Series Paper and a variety of die cut shapes from the Gone Fishing Bundle. Be sure to watch the video to see the creation of this card in action!
Tackle Box Portrait Style Card
Now that you know how to create the card base, you are able to decorate the card in either landscape or portrait style. The measurements are the same! For this fun fold card, I am featuring a portrait style design. The card front features a partial tackle box shape. Simply use the large die in the Gone Fishing Bundle to create the tackle box. Then fill the tackle box with a variety of stamped and die cut lures, bobbers, and other fun fishing items. The possibilities are endless!
