Learn how to turn a 6 x 6 inch piece of patterned paper into a fun fold card! It’s a one sheet wonder fun fold card! Plus, you can use any patterned papers you have on hand with this fun fold card. The cards feature three brand NEW bundles from the Stampin’ Up! 2024 Jan-April Mini catalog. However, keep in mind you can use any supplies you have on hand with this fun fold card design.
One Sheet Wonder Template
First let’s talk about the template for these One Sheet Wonder Fun Fold cards. Start with a 6 x 6 inch piece of patterned paper. I recommend using double-sided paper as this fun fold design enables us to showcase both sides of the paper! Cut 3/4 inches off the bottom of the 6 x 6 inch piece so you end up with a 6 x 5-1/4 inch piece of paper. Score down the 6-inch side at 2 inches to create the fun fold flap. You will end up with a 2 x 5-1/4 inch fun fold section and a 4 x 5-1/4 inch section for the inside of the card.
Cut a 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inch piece of cardstock to create the base of the card. Adhere the 4 x 5-1/4 inch section of the patterned paper to the card base. The 2-inch section becomes the fun fold flap for the front of the card. Remember the 3/4 inch piece which was cut off the bottom of the 6 x 6 inch paper? You can use it to decorate the inside of the card. Just cut it down to 3/4 x 5-1/4 inches.
Now you are ready to decorate the card as desired. This card features the NEW Stippled Roses bundle and some of the Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper. Be sure to watch the video to see this One Sheet Wonder Fun Fold card in action!
Birthday Cards
Now that you know how to create the one sheet wonder fun fold section, the possibilities are endless! You can use any patterned papers and any supplies you have on hand! This next card features the new Hot Air Balloon Bundle and some of the Lighter Than Air Designer Series Paper. The template for creating the fun fold section is the same as previously described. The only difference is I changed out the colors, paper and supplies.
The last One Sheet Wonder Fun Fold card idea features the new Rock Star Bundle and the Rock & Roll Designer Series Paper. This particular paper pack is black and white so you can add color to make it your own. I decided to use Pool Party and Daffodil Delight stampin’ blends to color in the different guitars on the patterned paper. It gives the card a really cool look.
The 3 different bundles featured today are also showcased in this year’s birthday card making club. Learn more about my birthday card making club HERE.
