Learn a Fun Fold Card Layout! MCM June 16, 2025.

Heidi Ho! Welcome to another MCM post! Have you tried this fold yet? It's a "Diagonal Fold" but with a twist. I CASEd the layout from a Swap I got from Michelle Suit. It inspired me! The front panel of the card isn't diagonal - it's rectangular. I hadn't seen that before. It's fun to play with! The key to a successful card is using a "busy" pattern on the back panel and a "subtle" pattern on the front. That really makes the whole thing pop. In our time together I completed the Mediterranean Blooms card and then finished the Kintsugi card afterwards. Check them out ...

I had done the basic card layout for these next two - I just haven't finished them yet. I used the Celebratory Sips papers for these ...

Here are the panels when the cards are open ...

I really like this Fun Fold. SO many options - and our patterned paper makes coordination so easy. I LOVE when there are papers with images I can cut out. Stamping is optional! I hope you give this one a try.

Want to make your own? Here is the "recipe" of the pieces you need to prep ...

... and here is the Mystery Card Monday (MCM) Facebook Live replay, showing you how to cut/score the papers and put all the pieces together ...

So that's it for this week. If you would like to join me LIVE for my MCM (Mystery Card Monday) sessions, you can catch me on my FaceBook Page here at 7:00 pm Mountain Time every Monday ... or on my YouTube Channel here at the same time (I stream live to both). Like and Follow my FB Page and/or Subscribe to my YouTube Channel. I'd love to have you - the live community is AMAZING and so much fun!
