Simple Fun Fold Card Layout & Country Birdhouse Card Ideas

For the project supply list and card measurements click here: wp.me/p8rvpR-mMI
Let’s make a simple fun fold card layout with a large focal area that allows you to create a beautiful scene! This fun fold was not a template we made during our Fun Fold Card Templates Series, but you can easily follow along with the video tutorial below and make a template to add to your shoebox.
I’m creating today with the Country Birdhouse Bundle and some Country Woods DSP. My focal area is a little more intricate than my normal quick & easy card making since I use a lot of die-cut pieces and do some coloring with Stampin’ Blends, but I promise this is still an easy card to make. And that’s what’s so great about this card layout, you have room to design a beautifully detailed scene or keep it simple!
So yes, this video is a little longer, but it's filled with lots of good die-cut image tips! In this video, we’re making one simple fun fold card while I’m sharing a few tips for creating with the Country Birdhouse dies. Have you ever wanted to make your die-cut flowers a little more 3D? Just grab your Take Your Pick tool and a Piercing Mat and come learn how!
In this video, we're making one simple fun fold card and then I'm sharing two other 'normal' card designs with you. Follow the link above to get all the measurements and to see close-up images of them! And bonus - three other Country Birdhouse card ideas are also shared on the blog post!

Oh my goodness such a cute card Jackie thank you for sharing those cards with all of us that was a stamp that I really didn’t even like but now I think I might have to get that one. Thank you again for the cute cards.

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

I wasn't drawn to this stamp set at first either... took me to see a few cards others were making before I started to like it, and now I love it!

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Jackie, what cute cards. I have the set but haven't had a chance to play with it yet ... but now I will for sure. Thanks for the great demo. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

You're welcome, glad I could help inspire you to create with this set!

The new Pretty in Pink is different from the old one, however.

I love the fun fold card technique Jackie. I have decided to use this technique for my Christmas cards this year. I am one of your followers. I wonder if you could make a video with some Christmas fun fold cards before Christmas that we could follow? I like how you keep things simple and easy. Thanks!

[@KlompenStampersJackieBolhuis]

I don't have much for Christmas fun folds. But you could follow these card fronts for on this fun fold! klompenstampers.com/easy-homemade-christmas-cards/

[@1949Franny]

Thanks for your reply Jackie. I want to use this specific fun fold technique. I'll use some of my die cuts with Christmas decorations and see how that turns out.
