Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! Ready to sprinkle some holiday magic into your crafting this season?This month’s theme, Season’s Greetings, is all about celebrating the joy of handmade creations. The Stampin’ Pretty Pals have come together to share festive cards and paper craft ideas using our favorite Stampin’ Up! products — each project designed to inspire your creativity and help you capture the spirit of the season.

Here’s my double opening fun fold card:

As always, I’ll be uploading this card to the Creative Creases Challenge, where it’s always everything goes with a fun fold.

I found this fun fold on Pinterest from Heidi Collins from On Y Go Stamping for her Double Opening Fun Fold card. Her post includes a link to a YouTube tutorial and a free project sheet. Heidi uses 1/4 inch margins, so I did change that so that all my measurements were 1/8 inch wider and higher. Basically, it’s a regular card base measuring 11 by 4-1/4 inches, scored at 5-1/2 inches. The top fun fold is an adjusted size z-fold card. But them together, and you get a fabulous new-to-me fun fold.

Some Hints:

I knew I wanted to use the label dies from the Peace on Earth for my sentiment, so I increased the size of the front piece of cardstock to 4-1/4 by 4-1/4 inches
- The DSP for this piece of cardstock measures 4-1/8 by 4-1/8 inches
I used the larger label die and a stamp from the Ornamental Christmas stamp set to add a sentiment to the middle of the card
I cropped two leave sprays from the silver glimmer paper to add behind the front label sentiments
- HINT: I’ve found it’s easier to crop the glimmer paper using dies by putting the face size down on the cutting pad
Since I wanted to add a bit more silver sparkle to the card, I used the clear Wink of Stella brush to outline both labels on the front and the one on the inside
This card will require additional postage, but it will still fit into a Stampin’ Up! medium envelope
In addition to the measurements Heidi listed, I trimmed a piece of DSP (designer series paper) to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
I punched a 1-inch circle from a coordinating piece of DSP and ran it through the XYRON create-a-sticker for the envelope seal
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
