I have a fun fold card to share with you that I am calling the Double Flap card.  This is one that I have seen a few times but did not look at too closely.  I received a swap with the fun fold part so of course I had to make one.  The fun fold part is the same but everything else is totally different on my card.  I used the Crafting With You Bundle.

 

 

Stamps and Dies

The Crafting With You Bundle has some really special Dies included that do not match a stamp.  One example is the cutting board on the front of the card.  I think this is the best ever!!  It has the cutting bar that you can slide paper under.  How cool!!  Ok, so I started with my favorite piece first.  The stamp set is great, as is the dies,  and they have images for several different types of crafting.  I focused on the ones for paper crafting today.

The sentiment is so darn sweet!  I love the verbiage, but also the mix of fonts, and the fun way the words are placed.  As I mentioned above, I focused on the stamps that are showcasing paper crafting, or are generic like the sentiments.  Here are views of the open card.

 

 

This view showcases the Stampin’ Up! Cut and Emboss Machine.  I think that is extra special that it looks exactly like the machine!  And here is the final open view.

 

 

This generic sentiments works for a variety of crafting, but especially for paper crafting.  During Covid I sent quite a few cards out with the Handmade Hug on them.  I love that sentiment and am happy to have it back again.

Extra Shapes

There were two of the Crafting With You dies used.  The paper trimmer and the die cutting machine.  But did you notice the other shapes?  I have used the Stylish Shapes Dies for the layered circles of the top two folds.  And the inside sentiment layer is two dies from the Deckled Rectangles Dies.  Finally the front sentiment is punched on one side using the Elegant Edge Punch.  This is a new punch that I was so excited to use.  I love the fun look!

Papers

The basis of the card is the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper.  I then chose colors that coordinated with this.  The card base is Basic White that is 4 1/4 X 5 1/2 to help the White sentiment and other layers to pop.  The lighter and larger of the circle and deckle layers is Pool Party.  It is not necessarily listed as a color included in the DSP, but it works as a lighter Lost Lagoon.  Because the DSP is a bit dark, I like having the lighter layer.  And it is paired with the smaller size circle in Lost Lagoon.

The layout is a piece of DSP that is 12 x 5 1/4, and scored at 2,4,6,and 8.  Fold and burnish on all the score lines and then view the card as to how to adhere them.  You make mountain folds and adhere the Up pieces together so that the DSP is adhered to itself and you end up with two “flaps” and then the inside back of the card.  (Reminder that this DSP is included in the 15% off DSP sale going on!!)

To finish the card, I went a little differently than cards I have seen when using circles as layers.  With the card closed, the inside back sentiment layer shows just a bit.  I did not like that.  So I created the front sentiment layer that when the card is closed lays so that it is covering that view.  And as the final touch, in place of some bling, I used a Berry Burst heart on the sentiment to pop against all of the greens.

Thank you for stopping by today!!
