Double Diamond Gate Fold - SUCH an easy Fun Fold! - MCM June 2, 2025

Well Heidi Ho Friends! I'm on a roll for getting caught up on my backlog post-vacation - whoot! Go me!

Today's post is only 2 days behind when I would LIKE it have been done. Alas. Trying to maintain that good life/work balance I seem to have improved on in the last month. I blame the Oilers lol. If they weren't in the Stanley Cup playoffs I MAY have been a bit further along in my work! GO OILERS!

So, let's get to it, shall we?? This week I was positively GIDDY to share this fantastic Fun Fold card with my FB Live viewers. I'm calling it a Double Diamond Gate Fold card. Now I would LOVE to give credit to the originator, however the card I used for my inspiration wasn't watermarked and I can't for the life of me find it again! PLEASE, if/when you share projects on social media, watermark your creations! You deserve credit for your work and I'd love to give it! If I DO find the card I fell in love with I will certainly edit my posts to give credit where credit is due. SO! On with the sharing! Here are the projects I showed in my FV live ...

I started with a Father's Day card, as I need one for June 15th and am learning to work smarter, not harder. Make the card and share the layout on my MCM! Win!

This one uses the Woven Textures Designer Paper and the Trusty Tools bundle. Can you believe I've owned it for about 2 years and never USED it??? ... yet it's one I'll never part with, cause it's so great! (...not to mention the fact that I have 3 packs of the coordinating paper that was offered during Sale-a-brations aa year or so ago lol). Here's the front....

then POW! It opens and looks all fancy! lol

I thought I'd switch it up a bit to turn it into a Thank You card that I can give my renovation contractor and head manager dude.

Love it!

This one features the Celebratory Sips bundle ....

This one uses some retired product (Season of Green & Gold and Peaceful Season dies) but shows how great it is for a Christmas card!

Celebratory Sips, Along These Lines and Spring Corners for this one ...

Painted Lavender and With You in Mind ....

SO many options! The fold is crazy quick and easy ... and fairly addictive! 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 ...

I'd love for you to try making one! Double Dog Dare Ya! I think you'll be hooked, if you do!

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!
