Looking to add a little wow to your cardmaking—without making things complicated? This fun fold card is just the thing! We’re sharing a clever folding technique that gives your card a fresh, dimensional look, plus a fun paper trick that’s easier than it looks. By using two-tone paper, you’ll create a bold contrast that really makes your design pop—but the best part? You can make this card with any stamps, ink, and paper you already have. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just getting started, this is a design you’ll want to make again and again.
In this project, we used Stampin’ Up!’s Sunrise Sailing stamp set along with two-tone cardstock to bring a coastal vibe to our design. We lightly rubbed a sanding block over the surface of the cardstock to reveal the lighter core, adding a soft, weathered texture that perfectly complements the nautical theme.
