3 Additional Simple Fun Fold Cards

The simple fun fold card, below, uses the Serene Love 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. The floral image was created using the Memorable Blooms Bundle. I added color to the image with a Blender Pen and Lost Lagoon Classic Ink Pad, bringing a fresh look to my monochromatic simple fun fold card.

Create a stepped-up version of this simple fun fold card by adding layers of cardstock in a coordinating color. Here, I used the Mixed Media Florals 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. To add some interest, I added layers of Boho Blue cardstock beneath the Designer Series Paper. The complementary colors of oranges and blues are striking and bold! I used the Mixed Florals Bundle to create the floral die cut.

Lastly, I made a simple fun fold card using the Marbled Elegance 12″ x 12 Specialty Designer Series Paper with the Hearts of Elegance Bundle. For the focal point and inside sentiment, I used die-cut hearts. Once I stamped the greeting on my focal point, I dry embossed the heart using the Plaster Painting 3D Embossing Folder. This step added some texture to the fun fold card.
