Hello there! Today I'm sharing something a little different for me — a fun fold card. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I made anything other than a regular card, but after trying this out, I can easily say I'm team fun fold now. It's such a fun way to showcase multiple patterned papers on a single card and use up some of that patterned paper we all love! And the best part? You really don't need much to make it happen: just some paper, a paper trimmer, and a scoreboard.

About the Fold

I came across the Double Open Fun Fold while researching new techniques to try, and I loved that it wasn't something I'd made before. It opens in two directions, giving you several panels to layer patterned paper across — which made it the perfect excuse to dig into my Ashgrave Archive collection and really let those patterns shine.

Watch the Full Video

I made a full video walking through how to score and assemble this fold from start to finish, how I layered patterned paper across each panel, and how I finished it off with some simple embellishing. I'd love for you to watch it!

Join Me at the Stress Free Cardmaking Summit!

I also wanted to share a fun free event I'm teaching at this year — the Stress Free Cardmaking Summit, happening October 2nd through 4th. It's completely free to attend, and 14 of us are each showing you how to make a beautiful card using just 5 supplies or less. I'll be teaching on Techniques day with an embossing surprise you won't want to miss!

I hope this card inspires you to try a fun fold of your own, even if — like me — it's been a while since you've stepped outside your usual card style. Sometimes the techniques that feel a little intimidating turn out to be the most fun once you actually give them a try.

Do you ever wish you knew all the secrets of creating stunning card designs? Are you always looking for inspiration and ideas to use your stash of supplies? If you answered yes to either or both of these, then I think I might have the answer for you. It's called the Card Maker Success Summit and I'm delighted to announce that I'll be one of the speakers at this upcoming event. If you aren't familiar with what a Summit is, let me share a little bit more about what this event is with you. If you aren't familiar with what a Summit is, let me share a little bit more about what this event is with you.

Here's what you get with the FREE TICKET:

• Access to the event schedule
• 24 hour access to each days presentations
• Access to a downloadable PDF for each class with a full supply list and written instructions
• Access to the Facebook group
• Access to live Q&A with the experts
• Chances to win prizes

There will also be a short kick off on March 6 at 7PM EST to explain all the details.

After you get your free ticket and the event starts on March 7th, you'll have access to the classes for a 24 hour period of time. Each presentation will be available to you for 24 hours from 8am EST to 8am EST the following day - so regardless of your time zone, you can enjoy all the presentations when it's convenient for you!

Once they are available, you can pick and choose which classes you want to watch during that 24 hour period. Each day there will be a different group of classes for you to enjoy and after that 24 hour period those classes will no longer be available, but the next day of classes will be. If you do the math, with over 45 instructors over the 4 days, there will be over 10 classes a day to pick and choose from! That is a lot of great techniques and inspirations for free!

Don't worry if you don’t have Facebook. You can still participate in the events without missing any of the speaker content as all of the videos are hosted in a private classroom on the Card Makers Success Summit website that you get access to once the event starts. The live Q&A events can be viewed on the Stamp Me Some Love Facebook page, Facebook Attendee Group, AND on Youtube.
