Good morning! I hope you had a good nite sleep and ready for another fun fold card. This time a took step-by-step pictures and I will link the video too at the end if you want to see her process. Again I changed the measurements on my card to have less scraps and to fit in a A7 envelop better. 1.Start with a 12x12 patterned paper , 6x5 plastic sheet ( you can use packaging) and a big element from your paper pads....I rarely use those on my cards because they are just to big. This is a cool way to use them now. 20221012_072249 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 2. Cut the 12x12 paper to get 2 pieces of 6x11 and 2 pieces of 6x1 . 20221012_072521 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 3. Score both 6x11 pieces at 1-2-4-6 inches. 20221012_072615 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 4. Accordion fold them to look like on the picture. 20221012_072920 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 5. Glue them together. I find it easier if you flip it over and put glue on half side than turn it back and finish gluing the other half. 20221012_073310 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 20221012_073143 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 20221012_073219 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 6. Glue the plastic sheet to the front ....start with one side and than the other. 20221012_074207 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 7. Glue the 6x1 pieces at the edges to cover the plastic sheet. 20221012_074341 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 8. Fussy cut your design and glue it on the plastic sheet. And viola! You are done! 20221012_074705 by Azcrafty, on Flickr 20221012_074709 by Azcrafty, on Flickr Here are some of the cards I made . Two is the 5x7 size and one is the 5x6 . 20221012_074845 by Azcrafty, on Flickr This is the https://youtu.be/YGBmibCKn1o I got the inspiration from and blog post mixedupcraft.com/2022/08/28/beautiful-double-vertical-stepper-cards/Happy crafting! Tagging grammadee . ETA: forgot the twist. The twist is to use one of those big element papers from a paper pad

The card with the clouds and tree is perfect!
I am going to give this a try but with vellum instead of a plastic bag. And maybe go with a Christmas theme.

azcrafty , thanks for the fun fold and the step by step directions. I love how your element seems to float in space on a pretty background. My element came already die cut but it was too perfect to pass up - it's our anniversary soon! It took me a lot longer to look for my plastic sheet than to assemble the card. I would love to do an ocean or aquarium theme next with this technique.

jjpeapea thats a perfect card and element. Happy Anniversary to both of you. There is a different design that is perfect for under water and space scenes. I have to try it out and maybe I'll have it as a challenge. Thank you for playing and sharing.

Love the soft colours and big heart on your anniversary card, jjpeapea. Here is my take on this. Thankyou so much for the detailed instructions, azcrafty! I had to keep them up on the screen and really go step. By. Step. LOL. This card is for my ds & ddil, who love each other and love their horses! fun fold anniversary by Gramma Dee, on Flickr

grammadee So fun how you decorated the back behind the panel, adding more interest and depth. If I do an aquarium or under sea one I am definitely keeping that in mind. Your card is so perfect for your recipient. Linda so pretty! I love how the colored panel makes "rose colored glasses" on everything.

You're welcome Linda. I love your card and like the idea of flipping the 1inch piece to the otherside to create more intrest to the card. Beautiful pp and focal point. Thank you for playing along.

I had a little trouble with my plastic. I think because it is so thin ? It is from embellishment packaging. It also bunches when opened but is tight when flat.

Its a beautiful card wit the soft colors and adorable images. Yes , some packaging could be thinner than others. If it bothers you, you can always add a little grass at the bottom and see if that makes it more stable. Thank you for playing.

pantsonfire That's adorable! I like how the paper echoes the spots on the fawn and I especially like the look on the dear bunny's face. So cute.
