I just LOVE fun fold cards! How about you? This fun fold card style I am calling a "gate fold, double z fold card".
I am using a die set from DoCraft called "Flowers and Jar" and the paper I used is from a 6 by 6 paper pad from 2013 called "Oh Darling" from Crate Paper Inc. I also used some gems and twine to finish off this fun fold. If you would like the measurements, I have a tutorial of how this card came together too!
The
theme is always a farm, ranch, country/rural, outdoors inspired cards and any time of year.

1. On the 8 1/2 inch side of your cardstock measure over 3 inches from the left side. Make a small mark. You will do this on both ends of the cardstock.
2. Put your cardstock in your paper trimmer matching the marks and cutting a diagonal line.
3. Score each (starting with the 3 inch side) at 3 inches and 6 3/4 inches
4. Choose 3 designer papers. Plus a white cardstock
DSP #3 - cut panel at:2 3/4" x 3 1/2" ****cut a white panel at: 3 1/2 " x 4 1/4"
6. Fold the front cardstock score to the left and the middle score the the right so that
7. You will place each DSP in the section of the card panel sliding it up 1/4 inch. Turn it over and mark with a pencil a line to cut. ( hint: make sure that the edge of the DSP is showing on both sides)
8. After measuring glue the white panel in the middle on the inside and the panel that measures the same on the outside. Then decorate the front panel!
