Halloween Fun Fold With Cottage Wreaths Bundle

August 19, 2022 by Kathi Leave a Comment

19 Aug

Making a Halloween Fun Fold with Cottage Wreaths Bundle is quick and easy. The Cottage Wreaths stamp set has a cute spider image and “boo” for a greeting. The coordinating Gingham Cottage Designer Series Paper provides some great options for colors and prints perfect for a Halloween fun fold.

Below are two different cards made exactly the same way except for one layer on the front. The card below uses Pumpkin Pie card stock as the top layer on which to adhere the wreath, while the card from the video uses a piece of matching Designer Series Paper. The little spider is suspended using a piece of white Bakers Twine. I keep my fun fold cards closed by adhering a small magnet between the layers.

Ready to get started? Watch the video below to see instructions and tips for making this card! I will, also, demonstrate how to use magnets to keep your fun folds closed. Further down, you will find the measurements, instructions and supply list. I would love to hear from you! Leave me a comment below and let me know which one you like best!
