Supplies You’ll Need

Here’s what I used to create this fun fold card:

Cardstock & Paper

• Basic White Thick card base – 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored at 1-1/4″ and 5-1/2″
• Basic White (scrap) – 3-1/2″ x 3-1/2″
• Floral Impressions DSP –
  • Floral side: 4″ x 4″
  • Reverse striped side: 1″ x 4″
  • Tiny scrap: 1/8″ x 4″

Inks & Coloring Tools

• Memento Tuxedo Black Ink (for stamping)
• Soft Sea Foam Ink (for blending + stamped grass)
• Stampin’ Blends:
  • Fresh Freesia (Light & Dark)
  • Peach Pie (Light & Dark)
  • Light Soft Sea Foam
  • Dark Old Olive

Tools & Embellishments

• 2-3/8″ Circle Punch
• Blending Brush
• Stampin’ Dimensionals
• Sunny Days Iridescent Dots

Darling Dinos Fun Fold with a Sweet Floral Twist

To build the card, start by folding your Basic White Thick base along the score lines. This creates a shorter front flap that opens to reveal your inner sentiment and gives the card its signature fun fold style. Adhere the 4″ x 4″ floral DSP to the top section and the 1″ x 4″ striped piece to the lower flap. That leftover 1/8″ strip? I used it as a visual “bridge” between the two patterns—it’s tiny, but makes a big difference in balancing the design!

For the focal image, I stamped the dino in Memento Black and colored it using Stampin’ Blends. I love how the Fresh Freesia and Peach Pie combo gives this dinosaur a gentle, whimsical vibe. I then blended Soft Sea Foam ink onto a white scrap using a Blending Brush, added stamped grass, and punched it out with the 2-3/8″ Circle Punch. It’s popped up with Dimensionals so the edge of the circle tucks under the front flap to keep the card closed.

And yes, those Sunny Days Iridescent Dots? Totally necessary sparkle.
