dutch barn door fun fold with regal winter paper
Today I have another fun fold to teach you – this one is a Dutch Barn Door fun fold card featuring some beautiful floral Designer Series paper from the current mini catalog called Regal Winter.
Measurements:
BASE: Basic White CS: 8 1/2″ x 8 3/4″
score along the 8 1/2″ side at 2 1/8″ from both
sides.
Score along the 8 3/4″ side at 2 1/4″ and 5 1/2″
DSP: upper dutch door 3″ x 4″
lower dutch barn doors: (2) 1 7/8″ square
Night of Navy CS:
outside matte: 2 7/8″ square
inside matte: 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
Basic White CS:
outside sentiment piece: 2 3/4″ square
inside piece: 3 3/4″ x 5″
Cut across the 2 1/4″ score lines to the first intersecting score line at 2 1/8″. Then cut along the 2 1/8″ score line through the 5 1/2″ intersecting score line and cut to the top of the card stock. Do this on both sides of the card, see photo!
The small “doors” on the bottom of the card base will fold inward to meet each other in the middle of the card and the top piece will fold downward towards the barn doors and meet in the middle as well.
Cut the Basic White and Night of Navy cardstock as above in the Measurement section.
Cut the DSP if there is a pattern try to cut the pattern so it matches or at least is adhered in the same direction.

Adhere the 1 7/8″ square DSP pieces to the barn doors on the bottom.
Adhere the inside Night of Navy 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ matte to the 3 3/4″ x 5″ Basic White to each other and adhere to the inside of the card – hiding the 2 1/4″ score line.
Adhere the larger DSP to the top panel.
I stamped the “MAY YOUR HOLIDAY SEASON BE FILLED WITH WARMTH AND Cheerful Celebration” sentiment with Night of Navy ink onto the smaller Basic White piece. Brush with Night of Navy Blending Brush and adhere to the Night of Navy matte.
Place a strip of Tear & Tape to the top of the backside of the sentiment pieces and add to the top flap of the card when it is closed.
Add Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the sentiment piece and this fun fold card is complete! I really liked this paper but didn’t purchase the set that goes with it. This DSP is so pretty it can stand alone with just adding a sentiment from a set you already own! I love this non-traditional Holiday card!
