These arrow fun fold cards really were fun (and quick!) to make, and I love how you can feature both sides of double-sided DSP (I have a LOT of it!).
If you want to see a video tutorial on how to make these, just watch Dawn's (from Dawn's Stamping Thoughts blog) here.
For this card, I used single-sided DSP from an old paper pad (5" X 7", I think). It has some glitter on it, so is really pretty IRL. My die-cut label was stamped and popped up on foam squares. I added a few glittery enamel dots to tie into the glitter in the paper pattern.
After adhering my two triangles of DSP to the inside, I stamped a sentiment there, too.
This card was made with an ivory card base. Instead of die-cutting a label I used a really old, heavy-duty tag shape. It was actually white, but I have a little cube of ivory ink which I swiped over it to achieve the ivory color. Then I stamped my sentiment and added a knotted ribbon and a few pink gems.
In this picture you can better see the thickness of this tag. I won a selection of these tag shapes years ago and still haven't used them all.
For the inside I used the reverse side of my DSP and added a stamped sentiment.
We are back from our trip to the Northwest (Oregon and Washington). Luckily, the weather was very temperate (highs of 70s and 80s) when we were there. I have a couple of pictures to share, but I'll do that in a future post, as I haven't even gotten them off my camera yet!
Thanks so much for stopping by, and remember to laugh--a little or a lot--every day.

Very cool cards, Cheryl! Glad you are back safe and sound from your vacation! I'll be waiting to see your pictures.
Thanks for this. I'm going to try your fun fold technique.
That is a fun fold to make. I especially like the second one you showed because of the papers. I've only done two of those. The first one I accidentally cut off one of the "wings" but was able to attach it afterward and it looked OK. I'll have to give that a try again.
You got me on "special fun fold" - off to watch the video. Love both of these cards - very unique and I agree works great with double sided DP.
Ooh what fab fancy fold, it shows off your pretty DSP beautifully!
