This is the easiest fun fold card EVER! Just four scores and a standard size 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″ card base create a Center Pleat Fun Fold card that stands. It’s an instant display to help make the greeting linger long after the first peek.
The fun and easy card features a sneak peek of the all-new Stampin’ Up! holiday bundle called Penguin Place and coordinating patterned paper included as one of the upcoming Sale-a-bration FREE gifts. It all adds up to an adorable winter birthday greeting.
Four Easy Scores
- Begin with a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″ piece of card stock. Use the Stampin’ Paper Trimmer to score the long side at 2″, 3 1/8″, 5 3/8″ and 6 1/2″.
- Use a Bone Folder to fold and burnish the two outer scores (2″ and 6 1/2″) inward. Unfold and flip the card stock. Fold and burnish the 3 1/8″ and 5 3/8″ scores inward.
- Flip and fan fold the card stock to create a large center pleat.
Step-by-Step Video Tutorial
The Center Pleat Fun Fold card featuring Penguin Place was the subject of a recent Friday Facebook LIVE. I shared the measurements and the step-by-step instructions to create this fun fold card that stands. In case you missed the Facebook Live episode, I have snipped and inserted the edited version here. Subscribe to my YouTube Channel so you don’t miss any of the projects I offer.
Alternate Christmas Card
A second Center Pleat Fun Fold card showcases the Penguin Place coordinating punch — perfect for those who don’t like to fussy cut. In place of hand snipping the winter critters, the penguin was stamped and punched. Fashion accessories included in the stamp set were stamped and snipped or punched for added fun.
The Penguin Place Bundle, coordinating paper, and Designer Series Paper used in the alternate Christmas card will be available Aug. 3 when the new Stampin’ Up! holiday mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration promotion are launched.
