If you’re looking for a card that’s easy to make but looks like a total WOW… this Double Fold Card is it!
This design is all about simple scoring and layering that creates a beautiful interactive fold. When you open it up, you get multiple panels to decorate—perfect for showing off your favorite Designer Series Paper and adding those extra special touches.
I love this one because you can dress it up or keep it simple:
✨ Add embossed die cuts for texture
✨ Let your DSP shine through the openings
✨ Finish it off with ribbon, gems, and your favorite sentiment
And the best part? Once you make one, you’ll want to make a whole stack—they come together quicker than they look!
I’ve included the full step-by-step directions so you can create this card right along with me. This would be perfect for birthdays, thank you cards, or even a special thinking-of-you card.
Double Fold Card Instructions
Card Bases:
1. Cut a piece of White Cardstock to 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”.
* This will be your base layer.
2. Cut a second piece of cardstock to 5 1/4” x 11”.
* Score at 1 3/4”, 3 1/2”, 5 1/4”, and 7”.
* Burnish all score lines well.
Front Panels:
3. Cut 4 strips of cardstock or Designer Series Paper to 1 1/2” x 5”.
* Adhere these to the four small front panels.
Inside Panel:
4. Cut a piece of Designer Series Paper to 3 3/4” x 5”.
* Adhere to the inside panel.
Center Fold Piece:
5. Cut cardstock to 3 1/2” x 7”.
* Score at 3 1/2” and fold in half.
Decorative Elements:
6. Take 2 pieces of cardstock and run them through an embossing folder.
* Die cut your images from these embossed pieces.
7. Cut 2 pieces of Designer Series Paper to 3 1/4” x 3 1/4”.
* Adhere behind the die cuts so the DSP shows through.
8. Attach these decorated panels to the front and inside panels of the 3 1/2” x 7” folded piece.
Assembly:
9. Adhere one side of the 3 1/2” x 7” folded piece to the inside of the card.
10. Fold it closed and adhere the other side to the front panel, creating the double fold effect.
Finishing Touches:
11. Add ribbon, gems, and stamped sentiment to the front.
12. Stamp your message on the white 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” panel (this is your writing panel).
13. Adhere the completed card to your card base.
💡 Tip: Make sure everything is well burnished so your folds stay crisp and the card opens and closes smoothly.
