Easy Fancy Fold Cards
I have created two simple fancy fold cards with the stamps, ink and paper from the Butterfly Kisses Suite.
These Designer Series papers are vibrant and zesty colour and feature florals, butterflies and also background papers. Along with the fun geometric dies and stamps, they come together to create fun projects that are suitable for all ages.
Gatefold Card
This gatefold card features interlocking strips across the front. I have used coordinating papers on the Calypso Coral background and the butterfly and sentiment are both in the gorgeous new Parakeet Party.
The card has been embellished with Fun Flower Resin Shapes in Fresh Freesia and a bow of the new In Color Baker’s Twine in Parakeet Party
Corner Flip Card
This second card flips the corner to give this fun effect. It is created by sticking a post-it note in the corner of the card base and then cutting from 1.5cm down from the top edge to the bottom of the post-it note and from 1.5cm in from the edge to the corner
Again I have used two different patterns of Designer Series Paper. The butterfly is stamped and die cut. The wings and the bodies are all separate elements featuring different geometric designs.
You can see both cards being created in this video.

Great cards x
Those are beautiful cards!
So many fun colors and whimsical butterflies . I love making fun folds in my cards and your are perfect
Great cards, I love a fun fold.
What is the measurement for the post it note area? Is the 1.5cm the distance the cut line is from the edge of the card?
A standard pot-it note is 7.5cm/3″ and yes that is the distance in from the edge
Love both cards, especially the gatefold. Thanks for sharing.
I’m a big fan of funfolds! Thanks for introducing me to a new one!
