I am trying to get the 20 Thanksgiving cards done so I am not working on them the week of Thanksgiving. I need cards for single guys, and this card is one of them.

Here’s my card:

This hidden flap fun fold is absolutely perfect for the 6 x 6 inch DSP (designer series paper) packs. For this one, I trimmed off 3/4 of an inch at the top, then cut the DSP in half. I’ve already made and posted a couple of these cards, and you can see them here, here, and here, .Come back on Thursday for another one for Cardz 4 Galz.

I keep thinking what other 12 x 12 DSP I can cut down to 6 x 6 inch squares for this fun fold. It’s becoming one of my favorite fun folds.

I still can’t find the directions for this card, and am sorry I haven’t given credit to the designer. If you recognize the fold, please let me know so I can go back and update my posts giving credit where credit is due.

Measurements:

They say that a picture is worth 1,ooo words. I have three pictures of the template I use to create this simple but stunning fun fold card:

The two DSP pieces measure 5-1/4 by 3 inches
The Crushed Curry mats each measure 5-3/8 by 3-1/8 inches
After running a piece of Crushed Curry through the Cut & Emboss machine using the falling leaves embossing folder, I trimmed it to 1-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches
I trimmed a piece of Crushed Curry DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Then, i punched a 1-inch circle out of coordinating DSP and ran it through the XYRON create-a-sticker to create the envelope seal

Easy Assembly:

The only dimensionals I used adheres the outside flap to the base
I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere all the pieces and layers together since it already is bulky
The sentiment is from a retired stamp set, but is cropped using dies from the Stylish Shapes die set
Easy-peasy

Thank you for stopping by today!

Have a Peachy Day!
