Looking for the best fun fold card, ever,? One that’s quick to make and easy to customize? This is my absolute go-to! In today’s tutorial we’ll create one card start-to-finish, then I’ll share three additional samples to show how effortlessly this fold adapts for all occasions: birthdays, thank yous, holidays, and more. It’s clean, fast, and perfect for batch-making when you want “wow” without the fuss.
Today’s Live Card Class
During my LIVE card class, I featured the Sentimental Florals Stamps & Dies (Concord & 9th)—a wonderfully versatile set where you pick a sentiment and surround it with graceful greenery and colorful florals. You can stamp the flowers or use dies; for today’s all occasion fun fold I chose die-cut florals for crisp dimension. I paired Spellbinders cardstock with the Charming patterned paper collection from Scrapbook.com. The double-sided papers make mixing and matching effortless—think florals, plaids, stripes, tone-on-tone, and solids that coordinate beautifully on both the outside and inside of the card.
Measurements (A2)
- Card base: 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″; score at 2 1/4″
Why This Fun Fold Works (and Why It’s My Go-To)
- Fast build: Minimal cuts + straightforward scoring
- Versatile design: Swaps from classic to seasonal and perfect for almost any stamp set and dies
- Steps up easily with added layers
- Batch-friendly: Pre-cut bases/panels and assemble a gift set in minutes
Here’s a stepped-up version of this fun fold card if you want extra polish: For the front, layer a contrasting cardstock beneath your patterned paper to create a crisp frame—about 1/8″ smaller on all sides for a neat reveal.
On the inside, add the same contrasting cardstock, then cut a rectangle the same size as your front panel and adhere it so the inner layer is perfectly “hidden” behind the front flap when the card is closed. This keeps the design seamless from the outside while delivering a delightful surprise when opened. Finish with a coordinating die cut such as a floral cluster, leafy spray, or sentiment label. Tip: dry-fit before gluing, keep adhesive away from the fold so the flap moves freely,
