Today’s card is a great one for any friend or pet lover. It’s a Playful Pets Fun Fold Card and believe it or not, there’s no stamping at all on this card! That’s right, the adorable dog is one of the prints found in the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper and the “friend” die-cut is from the Well Written Dies.
Color Combo
Let’s take a closer look at the “Fun Fold” part of the card. The outer part of the card (Real Red) is the normal card size, then there’s a smaller White insert with a Z-fold and on top of that is a framed area that is cut out with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. It’s atached only to the right side of the Z-fold, so that when the card is closed, it fits within the card front cut out.
Measurements:
Real Red: 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ scored at 4-1/4″ and a scrap for the die-cut word friend
Basic White: 8″ x 5-1/4″ scored at 4″ & 6″ and 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ for die-cut rectangle
Basic Black: 2-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ for die-cut rectangle and 2-1/2″ x 1″
Playful Pets Designer Series Paper: and dog or cat image

Instructions:
- Use second from the largest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut a rectangle from the center of the front of the card, Then run the front of the card through the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.
- Fold large Basic White piece on score lines to create a Z-fold with the 4″ section on the left. Use the Pets Dies to cut “paws” from the lower left part of the Basic White Z-fold piece and attach the small Basic Black piece behind this.
- Attach z-fold piece to the inside of the Real Red card base.
- Cut a rectangle from the large Basic Black piece using the second from the largest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.
- Cut a rectangle from the small Basic White piece using the third from the largest scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and attach this piece to the Basic Black rectangle.
- Use scissors to fussy cut the pet from the Playful Pets Designer Series Paper and attach to the Basic White rectangle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- Cut “friend” from the scrap of Real Red cardstock using the Well Written Dies and attach to the white piece with Mini Glue Dots
- To attach the “framed pet” piece to the card, fold the Basic White piece in to the Z-fold and close the card so that you can see the White piece through the “window” in the front of the card. Place adhesive on the RIGHT SIDE ONLY of the “framed pet” piece, and with the card closed line the framed pet up with the window on the front and secure the piece to the z-fold inside.
- Open card and wrap the Black & White Bakers Twine from the Playful Pets Trim Combo around the fold and tie it in a knot on the front of the card. Slide a Playful Pets Trinket on the twine and tie it in a bow.
