French Door Fun Fold Card

I suggest that you first make this card in a pattern paper which isn't your most precious, just to see how it works out.

You will need:

12" X 12" designer series paper (DSP) cut to 14cm high. Take 0.5cm from the short end to make this piece 30cm long.

1 piece of card stock 14.5cm by 10.5cm for card back.

Scrap pieces of card for the 2 labels & surrounds.

2 3/8" circle punch, bundled with Circle Sayings.

Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer

Die cut machine or use ribbon for fastening.

Stitched Shape circle dies (largest & 2nd largest)

Please Note: where it says 10cm on diagram should read 14cm. If you knew how difficult I found it to put the diagram in this blog, I know you will forgive me for not making the correction!

• Designer Series paper measuring 14cm X 30cm
• Score at 5cm and 10cm
• Rotate 180° and score at 5cm and 10cm on the other end.

• Decide which side will feature on the card before gluing the folded pieces back on themselves. This also helps strengthen the paper. (or surprise yourself, like I did!)
• 28 minute Video, unfortunately despite my best efforts, sideways ):

• Glue the plain card stock to the back of card with an even margin all around.

For this next part I will use the colours above as a guide.

• Cut the largest Stitched circle from lime and also cut twice more with the 2nd largest inside to form two rings.
• Cut the 2nd circle from white(1) and Pretty Peacock (1)
• 1 more white circle for the sentiment label, smaller punched circle 2 3/8", or 2¼" if you have.

I used Masterfully Made DSP, a new release in the annual catalogue and paired it with a backing card in Lost Lagoon. Lemon-Lime Twist is for the large frame, Pretty Peacock for the small circle and basic white. Melon Mambo ink and card were also included.

Enjoy making your French Door Fun-fold cards. Use your new DSP as well as chopping up the old. If you'd like to share your creations, its quite easy to add them to my Facebook page. Use the label #frenchdoorfunfold
