I showed two different fun folds last night on Facebook Live – starting with this Quarter Fold that uses designer paper from the How Sweet It Is collection along with the Piece of Cake stamp set/punch bundle. The front flaps open and close like a box top.
There are two half sheets of cardstock that make up the card base. The Gorgeous Grape measures 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 2 1/8″ and 6 3/8″. The Highland Heather measures 4 1/4″ x 11″, scored at 2 3/4″ x 8 1/4″. Remember to add an additional score line, just outside of each score line, so that each fold clears the opposite base piece and accommodates the thickness of the card.
The designer paper pieces are as follows:
Pool Party stripe 1 7/8″ x 2 5/8″
Highland Heather confetti 2″ x 2 1/2″
I completed this card with a minimum of decorations – a greeting and a cake – but the designer paper and the folds make it look more complicated.
You can get more complicated, and treat the front of the card like a sampler, decorating each panel as I have done below.
This card also uses designer paper from the How Sweet It Is collection. The stamp set is “Hey Love”, and I have also used the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.
Aren’t these little critters from “Hey Love” adorable?!

My second fun fold was the pieced-together card shown below – I am not sure what to call it!
A 3/4″ strip of the card front is essentially cut away to reveal part of the greeting on the inside of the card.
The Powder Pink pieces measure 5 1/2″ x 6″, scored at 4 1/4″, and 5 1/2″ x 1 3/4″. The designer paper pieces from the Needlepoint Nook collection each measure 1 5/8″ x 5 3/8″.
There is more to the greeting on the inside – the Well Said bundle really offers a lot of possibilities for this card!
This would also make a fabulous “Get Well” card. You can see all of the greeting options in this bundle below. If you are interested in this bundle, make sure to check out my Class To Go offer for this month. It is free with the purchase of the Well Said Bundle and Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack.
My favorite part of this card is the oval piece. I cut the Powder Pink stitched oval after attaching the stems, so the stems have a stitched edge too. I know, it’s a little thing, but it made me happy 🙂 The little bird is awfully sweet, too!
