Easy Fun Fold Tutorial: Quick & Simple Cardmaking

If you love quick and creative cardmaking, you’re going to fall in love with this easy fun fold! It’s one of those designs that you’ll find yourself making over and over again. Not only does it add a little “wow” factor to your handmade cards, but as a bonus, it can also double as a gift card holder—perfect for birthdays, thank yous, or any special occasion.

In today’s tutorial, I’m featuring the gorgeous Memorable Blooms Bundle paired with the stunning Mixed Media Floral 12” x 12” Designer Series Paper. These products make it super simple to create a beautiful card with minimal effort!

Reasons You’ll Love This Easy Fun Fold Design

This easy fun fold is great because:

• It looks impressive but is simple to make
• It works for any occasion by switching out the paper and sentiments
• It can hold a gift card inside, making it practical and thoughtful
• You don’t need fancy tools or hours of crafting time—just a few basic supplies and you’re ready to go!

Key Point: Stamp the sentiment on the insert for the fun fold. Add a stamped image in the lower corner or a strip of Designer Series Paper at the top or bottom of the insert. An added bonus to this design is that the pocket can be used to “tuck in” a gift card.

Tips for Success

• Swap out the Mixed Media Floral DSP for any designer paper to change up the theme
• Try different sentiments from the Memorable Blooms Bundle to suit the occasion
• Embellish with ribbon or gems for a little extra sparkle
• Make several at once—this easy fun fold is perfect for batch crafting!
