How to Make an Easy Short Front Fun Fold Card

If you love a card design that looks special but is still quick and easy to make, this Short Front Fun Fold is a great one to try! The shorter card front gives you a fun way to use your favorite Designer Series Paper, and it’s also perfect for mixing in those scraps we all seem to collect. I used the Simply Leaves Stamp & Punch Bundle and played with some unexpected colors—including pinks and blues—to show that leaves definitely don’t have to be just for fall.

Video Tutorial

Be sure to watch the step-by-step video where I show you exactly how to make this easy fun fold from start to finish. Along the way, I’m also sharing lots of helpful card making tips to make your crafting a little quicker and easier. This is one of those simple card layouts you can use again and again—just change the papers, colors, and stamps for a completely different look!

Simply Leaves Cards

For all of the cards, I used the Simply Leaves stamp and punch paired with several different Designer Series Papers.
