You're My Kind of Fancy
Who doesn't love all those fancy fun fold cards? I know I love them, however they can be a little intimidating. I found this easy Triple Fold Fancy card that Connie Stewart @ Simply Simple Stamping did on a YouTube video. I really had fun doing this one and will probably do more in the future. There are so many possibilities.

Here’s How I made it!
Cut:
- Basic White Cardstock - 8 1/2 x 11 cut to 5 1/2 x 11
- Basic White Cardstock - 1 1/4 x 10
- So Saffron - 2 pieces 1 x 5 1/4
- So Saffron - 1 x 10
- Daffodil Delight Cardstock - 3 strips 1/4 wide (for the bee stripes)
- Perfectly Penciled DSP - 4 x 5 1/4
- Perfectly Penciled DSP - 1 1/2 x 5 1/4
Punch :
- Basic Black using the LadyBug Punch - 2 bodies
- Vellum using the LadyBug Punch - 2 wings
Embossing:
- The two pieces of So Saffron that measures 1 x 5 1/4, the So Saffron that measures 1 x 10, these pieces are embossed using the Hive 3D Embossing folder. When embossing the longer piece that measures 1 x 10, this will need to be embossed on both ends to get the whole piece embossed.
Assembling the Bee:
- Using the 3 strips of Daffodil Delight Cardstock that measures 1/4 wide. Glue 3 pieces to each LadyBug body to make the Bee. Take the Vellum wing, color with the Wink of Stella to give a little sparkle, once done, glue down where the first strip starts. Place a Matte Black Dot where the wing comes together.
Inking with Blender Brush:
- Using Crumb Cake Ink Pad and Blender brush, on the 3 pieces of embossed So Saffron Cardstock, gently ink around the edges. It wont be dark but just enough to give some color.
Assemble the Card:
- Take the Basic White Cardstock base, cut at 5 1/2 x 11 Score at 1 1/4, 5 1/2, 9 1/4. Fold in half, then fold the other scores toward the right side.
- The 2 embossed strips that measure 1 x 5 1/4, glue them on the outside and inside of the fold that measures 1 1/4.
- The DSP that measures 1 1/2 x 5 1/4 glue on the outside of the fold that was scored at 9 1/4. When folded together it will look like the picture below.
- Adhere the DSP that measures 4 x 5 1/4 on the blank page just under the folds.
- Take the Basic White Cardstock that measures 1 1/4 x 10. adhere the So Saffron Embossed piece that measures 1 x 10 together. Once dried, wrap the band around your card. Burnish the sides that fold around the card. Glue together.
- Using the Hello LadyBug Stamp set, ink the 3 flower stamp with Daffodil Delight ink, and the sentiment in Memento Ink. Place a LadyBug right above the sentiment. Also place the other LadyBug on the band to cover up the ends that were adhered together.
Wasn't this a fun easy card. I just love how this turned out. And did I tell you that I love those Bees!! I cant wait to use this fun fold again for a super easy card. I hope you enjoyed playing with this set and get inspired to use this fold in your next project.
I love the bees made from the ladybug punch on your pretty card. Enjoy your day!
