Zany Zoo Fun Fold Card

Fun Fold cards are my favorite type of card to make so I wanted to share this “Missing Middle” or “Bridge” card with you..  It features the super fun stamp set called Zany Zoo.  I created this card as my swap card for the Stampin’ Up! incentive trip to Norway a few months ago.

Color Combo

The card base is a normal 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ card base of Calypso Coral.  After folding the card in half, I trimmed off 1-1/2″ from the front flap.  That left me with a front flap of 1-1/4″ along the top and a 1-1/2″ piece that ends up on the lower edge.  The black & white zigzag print is from the Zoo Crew Designer Series Paper.  5-1/4″ x 1″ goes on the top flap and 5-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ on the Calypso Coral piece that ends up on the lower edge.

The Stylish Shapes Dies were used to cut out the stitched circles, one in Lemon Lime Twist and one in Basic White.  Using Memento Ink, the turtle, sentiment and musical notes were stamped on the Basic White circle, then colored in with Stampin’ Blends.

A piece of Petal Pink ribbon from the Ribbon Duo Combo Pack was sandwiched between the two circle layers, then Stampin’ Dimensionals were used to attach the circles to the top flap.  To complete the front of the card, the Calypso Coral piece with the zigzag print was lined up along the lower edge and dimensionals on the lower edge of the circles was pressed down securing the entire front of the card together.  The card now has a “Missing Middle” or it’s like a “bridge” thus the name of the fun fold.

A 5-1/4″ x 4″ piece of Basic White was added to the inside of the card and a few Iridescent Rhinestones colored with Calypso Coral Stampin’ Blends were added to the card to finish it off.
