Double Dutch Fold

by Patty Bombyk

Create a unique card fold with a few score lines.

Supplies

  • One 4 3/16" x 9" piece of cardstock for card base
  • One 2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock for dutch fold bottom
  • One 4" x 3 1/4" piece of cardstock or patterned paper for your layer
  • Scoring Tool
  • Adhesive
  • One large image or die cut of choice
  • Stamps of choice

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Score the 4 3/16" x 9" piece of cardstock at 5 1/2. Set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Score the 2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock at 2 1/8" and at 6 3/8", like a gate fold card.

  3. Step 3

    Fold the outer panels of your 2" x 8 1/2" piece of cardstock in and decorate as desired. Adhere the center panel at the bottom of the back of the 4 3/16" x 9" piece of cardstock piece.

  4. At this point it should have double folds along the left and right side and at the top.

  5. Step 4

    The bottom of the top fold should line up with the double doors at approximately 3 1/2" from the top.

  6. Step 5

    Decorate the card as desired.

Hi Nancy,
In response to your statement, I too have people that display the cards they receive from me. Knowing that, I made an adjustment to my card. I placed it on a 4.25 x 5.5 fold card. I made 2 sympathy cards and was able to fill every space with scriptures and prayers. I realize that is a lot to do, but it will allow the card to stand on its own for display.
Don't know if that helps, but that is what I did.
Wishing you a healthy and creative New Year.

I made a pair of these cards & they're just too, too cute! I'm wondering how to keep the card closed... thinking about adding a belly band. Does anyone have suggestions?

Nancy,

Yes, you can open the barn door pieces on the bottom a bit and your card will stand.

BellbrookMama, If you layer your main image over the barn door pieces, it should keep it closed.

What a beautiful card I really love the way it has been decorated and folded looks so good, will try and replicate it as it is a fold that can be used for many occasions.
