September was Fun Fold swap month – I love doing fun folds and this one was the first to arrive (I will show them in a blog post once I receive the majority of them in the mail!)
– it is a window bi-fold fun fold card and it is so simple I had to CASE it and detail it here for you! Thanks to fellow swap demonstrator Marie W for the inspiration and she credited Peggy N! thanks to both you creative ladies!

Measurments:
Base: Basic White CS 8 1/2″ square
scored at 4 1/4 on both sides
Lights Aglow DSP 4″ square
Distressed Gold 12″ x 12″ DSP 4″ square
scraps of Basic White for the sentiment
Score at 4 1/4″ on both sides.
Cut the top left corner out as shown in o
image.
Die cut the largest circle from the square below the empty space and cut a 1/16″ of an inch off the score line between the upper square and the empty space so the card will close easier without buckling.
Placing the open space in the upper left hand corner – stamp a sentiment in versamark and heat emboss with Gold Embossing powder on the diagonal space (lower right hand square)
Fold the top square downward and adhere the DSP 4″ square to the folded down flap.
Stamp the snowflake image from the Chistmas Lights stamp set in Versamark on the card front around the window opening and set with the heat tool and Gold embossing powder.
Add a gold shimmer ribbon to the card front circle window as shown in the photo below.
Adhere the Distressed Gold DSP to the back of the window opening and die cut the next circle die down from the largest in the Stylish Shapes die set .
Using the new Embossing accessories kit LOVE That this is back new and improved!!! – I embossed the outside sentiment and die cut with the small detailed circle die from the Twinkling Lights dies set.
I popped up the card front sentiment on Stampin’ Dimensionals and placed it through the card front window onto the Black DSP on the flap. I was a little uncentered with my circle so I took the opportunity to be creative and added additional Gold Shimmer Ribbon to the right side of the Lights Aglow DSP on the flap to balance the sentiment.
This was Marie W’s swap card that inspired my CASE card today!
And here is my finished version!
If you have wanted to try a fun fold lately this is a perfect one to start with – simple and easy but elegant!
Go out and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
