I am constantly searching for new card and fun fold ideas to teach and show you! When I came across this one it did not have a name – I am sure someone else probably has a name or two for this design but I could not find one so for my record keeping I named it LOL This fun fold is like two cards in one so I named it the Front Flap Double card fun fold! It’s a mouthful but I did another front flap card this past Friday and I wanted you all to be able to identify them by name.
This card uses the absolutely gorgeous Thoughtful Designs Specialty paper highlighted with shimmer and shine and silver foil it is stunning in person.

I added a small strip of Petunia Pop CS to add color and continuity to this layer.
I added 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems (I had to order more because I have used all of the Petunia Pop gems LOL) to the card’s Front Flap to add a little shimmer!
I had some extra die cuts from last week’s class so I added those for some texture and dimension!
