If you love sending handmade cards that make a statement, this easy fall fun fold card is just the project for you! This beautiful card design features a unique triangle fold, a cute pumpkin created with the Bee Builder punch, and an unexpected yet stunning color combination pulled straight from the color coach. Whether you’re looking to send something special during the season of giving or just love experimenting with new card designs, this project is both fun and simple to recreate.
Why You’ll Love Making This Card:
I was inspired to create this fall card after a recent challenge from my Diemonds team member, Nancy Phillips, during our team meeting. She introduced us to this clever fun fold design that lets you make two cards at once—how perfect is that for getting ahead on your fall cardmaking?
What makes this card extra special is the combination of Pretty Peacock, Summer Splash, and Pumpkin Pie. It’s a bold, fresh take on fall colors that will instantly stand out. Plus, who doesn’t love finding new ways to use their punches? With the Bee Builder punch, I’m showing you how to create an adorable pumpkin that adds just the right touch to this autumn-themed design.
Key Techniques You’ll Learn:
Combining Colors Creatively: Learn how to pull colors from Stampin’ Up!’s color coach to create a bold, unexpected fall palette.
Creating the Triangle Fun Fold: This easy folding technique will let you create two cards at once, making it a time-saving way to double your card stash.
Using Punches in New Ways: I’ll demonstrate how to turn the Bee Builder punch into a pumpkin shape—a fun, unexpected twist on a favorite tool.
Why Recreate This Project?
Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just starting out, this project is a wonderful way to create eye-catching, heartfelt cards with minimal effort. The triangle fold adds a special touch that will impress your friends and family, while the playful pumpkin and vibrant colors make it the perfect card for the fall season. Plus, the double-card design means you can send one out now and keep one in your stash for later!
