Here’s my Mother’s Day card:
Even though Mother’s Day in the U.S. isn’t until May, I wanted to get this card made early. This DSP (designer series paper) has to be one of my all time favorites! I love the watercolor images and the 6 x 6 inch paper works beautifully with this fun fold card. You can see some of my other cards using this fun fold here, here, and here. I still can’t find the original poster’s video for this fun fold. If it looks familiar to you, please let me know so I can give you credit.
As I’m very prone to do, I will also be posting this card to the Creative Creases Challenge # 100. What a milestone and I’m so happy for my fellow Pal, Debbie Mageed and her design team. Way to go, ladies!
Hidden Flap Fun Fold:
Since I’ve used this hidden flap fold quite often, I’ve made myself a template so I don’t have to keep figuring out the 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:
Unless otherwise noted, I used multipurpose liquid glue to adhere the pieces together
The base of the card and the piece of black cardstock in the template have all been made with Mossy Meadow cardstock
The two DSP pieces measure 5-1/4 by 3 inches which is accomplished by trimming down 1/4 on the horizontal side of the DSP and then trimming the remaining DSP in half. Easy Peasy.
The Petunia Pop mats each measure 5-3/8 by 3-1/8 inches
After running a piece of Petunia Pop through the Cut & Emboss machine using the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder, I trimmed it to 1-1/4 by 5-3/8 inches
I trimmed a piece of coordinating DSP to 6 by 2-1/2 inches for the envelope flap
Then, i punched a 1-inch circle out of another piece of DSP and ran it through the XYRON create-a-sticker to create the envelope seal
The sentiment, from the retired Happy & Heatrfelt stamp set, was stamped in VersaMark ink, covered in white embossing powder and heat set.
Next, I cropped the sentiment using a die from the Stylish Shapes die set and added dimensionals to the back of it but only on the part that will be adhered to the front flap of the card
You might be asking yourself where I got the green ribbon ~ it’s actually the white diagonal trim from the Petal Pink & White diagonal trim combo pack which I colored multiple times using the dark Old Olive blend
Using tear-&-tape, adhere the ribbon to the back of the sentiment banner
Adhere the layers together to assemble
Finish by adding the sentiment to the front flap of the
With that, I’d finished this coordinated card, envelope, and envelope seal set
Thank you for stopping by today!
Have a Peachy Day!

I’ve made so many of these cards, and you can find some of them here, here, and here. The 6 x 6 DSP (designer series paper) is just made for this fun fold.. Start with the 6 x 6 inch DSP, trim off 1/4 inch from the top, or bottom. Then, trim the the DSP down to two 3 by 5-1/4 inches.
I have no earthly idea why I didn’t save the tutorial video for this card, but I have searched my Pinterest and saved video tutorials on YouTube for more than 30 minutes and can’t find it. If you recognize the fold, please let me know so I can give credit to the original designer. I will be using this fold for many 6 x 6 inch DSP pages! The paper absolutely does all the work here!
Here are some pictures of the template I’ve made for this 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 an embossing folder, I trimmed it to 1-1/8 by 5-3/8 inches for the strip next to the front DSP
I trimmed a piece of 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

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
