So I looked back at my Facebook post for my last Facebook Live and had posted a different card than the one I ended up demonstrating! Best laid plans, right? Well this is a very fun and relatively easy card – it looks complex but it is not! This is called a Buckle Fold Fun Fold card. I have also seen it called a Tucked Slot Fun Fold card. Whatever you call it – it’s definitely Fun!
Measurements
Cajun Craze Base card 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ and cut at 2 1/4″ off one side
Very Vanilla 4″ x 5 1/4″ and
2′ x 7″ scored at 3 1/2″
Early Espresso 2 1/4″ x 3 3/4″
scrap pieces for the die cut pieces
Cut your base cardstock to two pieces of 4 1/4″ x 11.”
Scored at 5 1/2″ crease with your bone folder. Open up the fold and cut 2 1/4″ off the left side of the card (the side that will be the front of the card). Stamp the front with a background image for some dimension. (I used a tone on tone effect with Cajun Craze ink (#119684) and the wood grain stamp from the Gorgeous Leaves (#153365) stamp set. Using the smallest rectangular die from the Stitched Rectangle die set (#151820) place in the middle of the short piece of card stock in the front of your card and run though the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine (#149653) to cut the slot for the tuck.

In a previous post I highlighted the Baby Wipe technique and this technique lends itself beautifully to fall leaves.
Using a standard Stamp case (#119105), place several folded baby wipes in the container and pick out three colors of ink. I choose Poppy Parade ink refill (#119791), Pumpkin Pie refill (#105229) and Cinnamon Cider refill (#153120)
squeeze a zigzag line into the folded baby wipes. Line up the second color and allow room to spread. Line up the third color and squeeze a zig zag line next to the second one . This picture is with different ink colors but shows the set up!

On the 4″ x 5 1/4″ vanilla card stock stamp the thin leaf image into the homemade rainbow ink pad on the baby wipes and stamp onto the left side of the paper and adhere to the inside of the card!
Fold the 2″ x 7″ piece of Very Vanilla cardstock in half and stamp the sentiment on the inside of the smaller card. Mount onto the Early Espresso cardstock and close and decorate the outside of the small card
Die cut the leaves with the Intricate Leaves Dies (#153566) and using glue dots arrange the leaves so that the right edge of the leaves hangs a little over the left edge of the slot.
Place tape on the back of the Early Espresso piece of cardstock and slide the front of the small card into the slot just enough so that the cardfront is secure in the slot. make sure the card is straight and press down to adher to the back of the card.
Love this card paired with the beautiful Fall leaves and the FREE Be Dazzled Specialty paper is one of the items you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration which ends September 30th!
