I created my own fun-fold!!
I LOVE math! So I wanted to make a fun-fold card that showed off two 4×4 pieces of designer paper and also collapsed into a typical size card for mailing. This is what I came up with…
Don’t let it intimidate you. It might appear difficult. But if you have the tools, you can easily recreate it. Here is another version using different designer paper patterns. All patterns come from the same pack: Sweet Soirée Specialty Designer Series Paper.
I wanted to share this card with my Facebook friends, so I recorded this Facebook Live how-to video this past Wednesday and then uploaded it to my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook). Be sure to watch the video, check out the measurements below so that you can recreate this amazing card, and then let me know if you have any questions. If you ARE on Facebook, I invite you to “like” then “follow” my page so you can get updates when I share and when I go live every Wednesday afternoon at 2 PM Central Time.
Here are the measurements you’ll need if you plan to recreate this fun-fold card.

What a great fun fold! Couldn’t wait to give it a try, so made one in my March class and another with my team. You came up with a great way to use of some of that DSP that will be going away soon. Will be posting them on my blog, and giving you all the credit!
