Spring All-Occasion Fun Fold Card

Click on image for closer look.

Materials Used (all from Stampin' Up!, unless otherwise indicated)
* Wild Wasabi card stock (retired): 11" x 4-1/4", scored at 4" and 6-3/4"
* White card stock: 4" x 3-3/4" (top panel); 4" x 2-1/2" (middle panel); 4" x 4" (bottom panel)
* Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (2025 Sale-a-Bration Freebie): 3-3/4" x 3-1/2" (top panel)
* Boots, flowers, and bunny were punch-outs featured in the March 2020 Paper Pumpkin kit
* White card stock: small amount for Harvest Dies (retired) (sentiment)
* Wild Wasabi card stock: small amount for sentiment backing (cut on my Brother Scan 'n Cut)
* Garden Green card stock: 1-1/2" x 3-3/4" (grass - die from my stash)

This was such a fun card to make!  The card base is a horizontal Z-fold -- fold back at 4" score line, and forward at 6-3/4" score line.  Then add the appropriately sized white card stock to each panel.  After that, it's just a matter of adding the cut-outs.

The only pieces I popped up on this card were the sentiment and the bunny on the top panel.

Thanks to Jackie Bolhuis (www.klompenstampers.com) for sharing this great card fold!  I hope you try it for some of your cards.

This is one of the cards we made at my table at Sassy Stampers Card Camp this past Saturday.  It's based on a card I found on Pinterest, but I couldn't find the creator. Thanks to whoever it was -- love the monochromatic look!!!

* Thick White card stock: 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" for card base
* Smoky Slate card stock: 5-1/4" x 4", embossed with Exposed Brick embossing folder (first layer)
* Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper: 4" x 2" (dark horizontal piece); 4-1/4" x 2", trimmed with retired Triple Banner Punch (vertical piece); about 2-1/4" x 2-1/4" cut with Deckled Circle die.
* Black card stock: small piece for floral die cut (from retired Sunflower Dies)
* White card stock: small piece for sentiment (retired Washi Tape Punch)
* Black Bakers Twine: small amount for bow
Inside
* Smoky Slate card stock: 5-1/4" x 4" (first layer)
* White card stock: 5" x 3-3/4"
* Botanical Textures Designer Series Paper: 3-3/4" x 1/2" for strip across bottom

To make this card, I just layered everything up as shown.  The only thing I popped up was the sentiment on the front of the card.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I did!
