Crafting With You Dutch Door Fun Fold Card

The Crafty Collaborations Team is comprised of Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from around the world. Each month we participate in several collaborative projects, including Blog Hops, like this one, to inspire all of us in our passion for crafting. Our goal is to create, share, and inspire every crafter to keep our creative energy flowing.

This blog hop is focused on the new Stampin’ Up! catalog- the amazing 2023-2024 Annual Catalog. The Crafting With You Bundle was the first bundle on my preorder. It has stamps and dies that will help you make beautiful cards for all the crafters in your life. For this card I chose the artist’s easel and a basket of paint brushes. This card also uses two of the new 2023-2025 In Colors- Pebbled Path and Moody Mauve. I love both of these colors alone and in combination with so many colors.

When the card is opened, you see that the card front is only partially cut. It’s a great fun fold that is easy to mail.

Instructions for the Dutch Door Fun Fold

1. Cut a Pebbled Path card base 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and score at 4 1/4″. Do not move the paper after you’ve scored it at 4 1/4″. Use the cutting blade to cut from the top edge to the 2 3/4″ mark on the trimmer blade guide (the clear plastic ruler.)
2. Turn your paper one turn to the right and place the left edge of the paper at the 2 3/4″ mark at the top of the trimmer. Cut down to the 4 1/4″ mark on the trimmer blade guide. This should meet the end of the cutting you did on the score line (in step 1.)
3. Remove that piece of card stock and save for the front of the card.
4. Cut three mats in Moody Mauve: 2 1/2″ x 4″ (2) and 5 1/4″ x 4″ for the inside.
5. Cut two pieces of In Color DSP in Pebbled Path: 2 3/8″ x 3 7/8″ and 5 1/8″ x 3 7/8″.
6. Adhere the large piece of DSP to the large Moody Mauve mat and adhere to the inside of the card.
7. Adhere the smaller piece of DSP to one of the small Moody Mauve mats and adhere to the front of the card.
8. Cut a Piece of Basic White 2 5/8″ x 4 1/8″ and adhere to the piece of Pebbled Path that you cut from the front of the card base. Center and adhere the last Moody Mauve mat to the Basic White.
9. With the piece vertical, put adhesive on the lower 2″ of the rectangle and adhere to the front.
10. On a scrap of Basic White, stamp the easel in Pecan Pie ink. Then stamp the bunch of flowers in the corner using Moody Mauve ink.
11. Stamp “you inspire me” in Pebbled Path ink. Die cut the easel with the framelit and adhere to the front at an angle.
12. Stamp and die cut the paint brushes.
13. Die cut a basket from a scrap of Pecan Pie card stock. Trim the paint brushes to fit in the basket. Pop up on the front of the card.
14. Adhere a piece of Basic White 2 3/8″ x 3 7/8″ to the inside of the card. Watch the video to see an easy way to get this centered correctly.
15. Add three Pebbled Path dots from the 2023-2025 In Color Dots.
