Mini Me - Note Card Fun Fold Tutorial

Introducing my Note Card Fun Fold Tutorial! - Big things come in small packages!

Do you have note card envelopes that you want to use up? At PIZZAZZ to your note card with my Note Card Fun Fold Tutorial.  My sister gifted me extra invitation envelopes and three weeks later, I finished creating ten ELEVEN fun fold cards using small card basis. The envelope size for the cards is known as an A1 envelope. These are the same envelopes included in Stampin' Up!'s Note Cards and Envelopes - 5 1/8" x 3 5/8". Some of my fun folds use larger card bases than those of SU's Note Cards and Envelopes.  

This tutorial includes the following for ten fun folds

• Measurements
• Photos
• Diagrams for score and cutting for each card
• Most diagrams are to scale making it easier to having sized cards to refer to.

This tutorial was created to make smaller versions of the FUN fun folds you've seen on Pinterest and YouTube. I created this tutorial to you to WOW the recipient - Big things come in small packages! Use what you have in your craft studio, including different cardstock, paper, dies, punches and embellishments.

Helpful Tips

1. Make a sample first
2. Determine your layout before attaching layers to determine the placement of card layers
3. Attach all layers, except for backside, before attaching main card base to front section.
4. Miter areas shown on diagram.
5. Place Tear & Tape on the backside card layer and leave unattached for a personal message. This is done for ease of writing instead of writing on top of layers and embellishments.
