If you’re looking for a super simple way to add a fun twist to your handmade cards, you’re going to love this Easy Triangle Fun Fold Design! Not only is this fold quick to create, but it also requires no cutting at all—just one diagonal fold and you’re ready to start designing.

Triangle Fun Fold Design

Most fun fold cards involve lots of measuring, cutting, and scoring. But not this one! The triangle fun fold starts with a standard card base. With just one diagonal fold , you create a unique triangular flap that adds instant dimension and interest to your card front—no trimming or extra pieces required.

To create the triangle fun fold, start with a 4-1/4 x 11″ piece of cardstock; score at 5-1/2 inches. Measure 4-1/4 inches up from the bottom of the folded card front and make a pencil mark on the left side of the card front. Next, score the card front diagonally from the pencil mark to the opposite bottom corner of the card front. Fold the triangular piece backwards onto the card front and secure it down to the card front with stampin’ dimensionals. Now you are ready to decorate this card in portrait style, as above, or landscape style which we will talk about next.

Landscape Style

One of the best things about this design is how versatile it is! You can use it in either portrait or landscape orientation, depending on the look you want. The portrait style design is a top fold card while the landscape style design is a side folding card.

Both options use the exact same folding technique—the only difference is the direction of the card base. So, once you learn the basic fold, you’ll be able to adapt it to any card style you like.

For today’s card ideas, I used the Turtle-y Awesome Bundle from Stampin’ Up! The cute turtle images and create some cheerful and whimsical cards. The triangle fun fold is a great way to showcase these images, especially when you layer them onto coordinating patterned paper or colorful cardstock.

However, you can easily use this fold with any stamps, dies, or papers you have in your stash. Whether you’re crafting for birthdays, encouragement, or just because, the triangle fold provides a playful and engaging layout for your handmade cards.
