Here is another version of a Fun Fold design I used in a card on Friday’s post. You can see that one HERE!  This was one of the designs I created as a possibility for a swap. But as much as I like this, it was going to require more paper than I had on hand to create the 12 cards I needed.  But I love how the Thoughtful Wishes patterned paper makes a wonderful fall themed card.  I hadn’t planned it as a fall card, but once the colors started coming together I decided to give it a fall sentiment and make it a “fall” thank you card!  The Cajun Craze, Wild Wheat and Basic Beige were perfect with this patterned paper.

Just like Friday’s card, this is a simple Fun Fold with one layer at 4.25″ x 8.5″ scored at 3″ and a fold over layer at 3″ x 8″ scored at 4″.  It’s a simple overlapping design.  I also die cut two pieces using the Thoughtful Wishes dies. They are tied together with a strand pulled from the Wild Wheat Jute trim.  The Jute Trim is fairly thick, so if you want a thinner piece, just untwist the strands in the Jute Trim to pull out a single strand.

This is a design I did for a Fun Fold swap this week.  I love to do Fun Fold cards that someone else designs, but I Have a hard time coming up with designs myself.  I went to a simple Fun Fold that is a 4″ x 8.5″ scored at 3″ and a 3″ x 8″ scored at 4″.  This “flip flap” Fun Fold has been around forever, but I find it easy to make and more importantly,  design around!

My next problem was what pattern papers to use. I tried a couple of ideas, but I needed enough on hand to make 12 cards and my paper supply is getting used up by now. Flipping through my paper file, I spied this beautiful paper, Nature’s Sweetness.  It’s a carry over paper and still in the current line and was just what I needed! I love monochrome designs in the paper and used Pebbled Path as the base color.  The subtlety of the design and the monochrome color make a pretty Fun Fold that is not overwhelming. I love it when I find things in my supplies that have not been used nearly enough. I had forgotten how beautiful both the paper and the matching stamp set are!

Here is a look at the inside of the card:
