You know how much I love Fun Folds! When I made this card, I really did Smile! Using the New Horizon Designer Series Paper for this card was the perfect choice.
Today’s card is a Fun Fold for the Pals Fun Fold Blog Hop. There is a lineup at the bottom of my post that I hope you will follow along with. Please share your love with the other stampers.
Paper
Obviously the paper is the star of this card. This scene reminds me of a mountain meadow and makes me want Spring to arrive. The different scenes on the New Horizon Designer Series Paper are simply gorgeous. Each time I say that this is my favorite. So I guess they all are equally my favorite.
When you look at the other views of the card, you will see that I used most of a sheet of the 6X6 DSP. I trimmed a little from each side to get a piece that was 5 3/4 X 5 1/4 and the view of liked. The front is 4 X 5 1/4, and the inside piece is a bit smaller at 1 3/4 X 5. Even though you do not see them at the same time, I like that it is a continuation of the scene.
Stamps
The matching stamp set to the New Horizon DSP is the On The Horizon stamp set. It has stamps that work perfectly when paired with this paper, or on their own to create scenes. And it has a couple of great sentiments. The “Relax and enjoy your day” is perfect for this peaceful meadow scene. And yes, I stamped directly onto the DSP! Sometimes that is the way to go.
Dies
Part of what makes this Fun Fold so sweet is how the fold works! And that goes back to using the Die for the focal point. Do you see that the little label it is stamped on moves? That is part of the Fun Fold! I used the Painted Labels Dies for this one. The size was perfect for the sentiment.
The card I cased this Fold from had circles for the sentiment opening. But I wanted to stamp onto the paper and not take away from the DSP itself. So I came up with this idea instead.
Here are views of the card in a few open positions. The second piece of DSP is a nice surprise!
Directions
- Card base is Misty Moonlight cut to 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 and scored at 4 1/4
- Front DSP layer is cut to 4 X 5 1/4
- Inside White is cut to 8 X 5 1/4 and scored at 4 and 6. Then mountain and valley fold.
- Inside DSP layer is cut to 1 3/4 X 5 ( I used a 5 3/4 X 5 1/4 piece and cut the two sections to save DSP)
- Adhere the large DSP to the front of the card
- Center the Painted Label Die on the front and Die Cut. Save the cut out. By adhering the DSP to the card first, it gave more stability to my focal layer than only the DSP would.
- Adhere the largest section of the inside White (the 4 X 5 1/4) to the inside of the card with the accordion fold on the right side.
- Adhere the small DSP to the center section of the White inside
- Decorate the inside of the card as you like
- Stamp the sentiment on the Die cut piece
- Fold the inside White and close the card. Add adhesive to only the right half of the sentiment layer and place it inside the cut out. It will fit easily and be exactly where you need it.
TIP: You can change this card by using layered circles, squares, or any shape for the center focal piece. And you do not need to use DSP for the front. It can be any normally decorated front using the same idea! Enjoy!!

SUPPLIES:
Jackie, this card is absolutely gorgeous! Just love it! Do you have a video tutorial for this lovely card?
Thank you for sharing the detailed description with me.
I will attempt to CASE your very creative project!
Oh, Jackie, this card is so cool! I love the way you stamped on the designer paper! Yes, I think Rosemarie and I will both be CASEing your beautiful fun fold card. Have a wonderful rest of your week.
How fabulous is this double z-fold card! I really love the way you highlighted the sentiment on the front and the addition of DSP on the inside. Such a beautiful card!
Jackie, This is the first time I’ve seen this fold, and one I will definitely try! I love the way the sentiment pops out!
Wow-wee, Jackie! Totally awesome- gorgeous & definitely a fun fold!
I was not in love with this DSP when I first saw it but with every project I see, I am falling in love! I really like the idea of stamping directly on the DSP. I rarely think to do that but love it on this card. And this fold offers so many spaces and opportunities to stamp and play with the products.
Great minds think alike, Jackie! This New Horizon DSP is the star of the show! I love your fun fold too. I’ve not made this one before.
Great fun fold Jackie! That paper is gorgeous and I didn’t even realize that it was cut out in the center until it was opened. Brilliant!! I am definitely going to try this one.
