I love that this fun-fold card folds flat and fits in a standard A2-size envelope. I also love that when it opens, it stands up by itself and makes a cute decoration. Here’s what it looks like opened up:
Although it looks complicated, it’s actually very easy to make. It has very little stamping, just the sentiment. It does take several little pieces of cardstock and DSP, so make sure to cut them all first, and then you’re ready to put it together. Don’t let the number of pieces you need to cut dissuade you from making this card. If you watched the video, you’ve seen that it really is pretty easy to make. Once you’ve made one, I know you’ll want to make more! You can watch the replay here if you missed the live presentation.
