This is a card I learned about from Nancy Legate, a fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. She is so generous in sharing this with me!

BASE: Colored OR White/Vanilla Card Stock (CS)
– 1 @ 5 x 7, Score long side at 1-3/4 & 5-1/4. Score short side at 1-1/4 & 3-3/4 (or 1-3/4 from each end) (or 1-1/4 each end). SOLID lines are CUT. DASHED lines are SCORED. Make a tick mark on the bottom score line as shown @ 2-1/2.

Designer Series Paper (DSP): You need TWO different sets of each of the cuts below. My card uses two multi-directional papers.
– 1 @ 2-3/8 Wide x 5 Tall, tick at bottom @ 1-3/16; tick at both top sides @ 1-1/2. Cut as shown.
– 1 @ 4-1/2 Wide x 3-1/4 Tall, tick at bottom @ 2-1/4; tick at both top sides @ 1-1/16.
– 1 @ 4-1/2 Wide x 1-5/8 Tall, cut into 4 pieces each at 1-1/8 x 1-5/8.
– 1 @ 2-3/8 Wide x 1-5/8 Tall

When both sets of DSP are cut, adhere to each side like this:

To turn this into a tree, start by bringing the point up:

Fold the sides out:

Plus you can start with the other side and your tree will look like this:

I hope you like this fun-fold card!

Vertical/Portrait card:
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.
 Cardstock Base A:
1 @ 5-1/2 x 4-1/4
Cardstock Base B:
1 @ 3 x 6, score at 1/2 from 1 end, attach to one end of cardstock base A, putting the 1/2 flap at the very top
DSP:
1 @ 2-3/4 wide x 5-1/2 tall, adhere this to cardstock base B front
Basic White:
1 @ 3 x 5-1/2, open the flap and adhere on cardstock base A, lining up directly under cardstock base B
Focal point: Die cut(s) and sentiment for the front of the card, not too big, maybe 2-1/2 circle or square or flower, cupcake, etc. Something that compliments your DSP.

Thanks to Kim for finding and sending the idea for this card!!

Vertical/Portrait card:
Clue #1… gather your supplies, All measurements in inches.
If you cut 2 pieces of 8-1/2 x 11 cardstock at the same time with these measurements, you will have the pieces to complete 2 cards. I have listed the pieces for only 1 card.
Cardstock Base: 
1 @ 11 x 8-1/2, cut according to the below diagram resulting in:
Base 5-1/2 x 6-1/2, scored at 4-1/4 on the 6-1/2 side
Inside Layer 5-1/4 x 4
Layer for on white cardstock 4-3/4 x 3-1/2
Flap Layer (I embossed this piece) 2 x 5-1/4 on the front of the card

If cutting 2 pieces of cardstock together, you will have 4 pieces each for 2 cards.

Basic White or Very Vanilla:
1 @ 7-1/2 x 5, score at 3-3/4 on the long side
DSP:
1 @ 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 for the top of the white card base and layer
1@ 2 x 5-1/4 for the inside of the base card flap
Ribbons:
1 @ 20″ This goes under the DSP and colored layer onto of the white folded card. The ribbon wraps around behind the card base. You can make this card open either direction, just make that choice before adhering DSP inside the flap.

My card opens with the fold on the left. The DSP on the right is inside the card when closed.

Below, the front flap is showing on the righthand side. I embossed the layer.

Die cut(s) and sentiment for the center of the front of the card.
