I have had such a creative and productive weekend here attending the Stampin’ Up! #SUCreativityNow event and crafting with my friend Donna. I finished off the weekend by popping on live today to make this great new Mountain Fun Fold Card that I have been working on this week. The original card by Shruti Patil inspired my card but I had to do some maths to make it work with 12×12″ cardstock and then convert it to imperial. Let’s just say maths was never a love of mine – but I got there in the end!
We all know that I just love bright colours and this Full of Life Suite that I used for my card is one of my absolute favourites! The Designer Series Paper, stamp, dies and gorgeous gems are just to die for!
See below for a link to the video tutorial and free PDF showing how to make this card which I have included metric and imperial measurements as well as a template for!
the finished mountain fun fold card
This Mountain Fun Fold was such a fun card to make and I was inspired to recreate it as soon as I saw the fold. The thing that I loved most about the fold was that it was a great way to show off the beautiful Stampin’ Up! Designer Series Paper patterns that you really don’t want to cut down too much. the finished size of this card front allows you to really feature some of those beautiful designs like on this example where I have used those beautiful rainbow bursts of colour from the Full of Life Suite.
Combined with some of the stunning coordinating stamps & dies this card really did come to life.
a close up at some of the detail & dimension
I just loved adding all the colour & glitter to my card which are pretty much all my favourite things!
The beautiful heart die from the bundle called out for a fun technique that I haven’t played with in a while – the inlaid die cutting technique where you place the negative parts of the die back in. On this particular die I actually coloured the negative pop out pieces with a Blending Brush and some colour before popping them back in which made for a really cool effect!
a look at the mountain fun fold flat
Here is a look at the Mountain Fun Fold design and what it looks like on the inside. I went to town with the glimmer on this card adding some of the white glimmer to every panel! I didn’t hold back on this fun card and made it a bit ‘extra’. Of course I had to add some embellishment and detail to the panels with a couple of die cuts and some pretty sequins! I shared how to do some of these techniques on the video linked in the PDF below.

You can see that I have added a touch of stamping & colouring on this little cluster of detail on the right. It was a fun way to show that you can stamp in any colour and use Stampin’ Blends – as long as the ink is not alcohol based! I chose to stamp in Granny Apple Green and colour my leaves with Lemon Lime Twist Stampin’ Blends. The Stampin’ Blends were also great for spritzing a little bit of detailed splatter over the Glimmer Panels.
how the mountain fun fold works – surprise!
This is the finished look at how the mountain fold works once it is pulled out. As I mentioned earlier, this fold is a really great way to feature those 6×6″ Designer Series Paper patterns. I used one of the colourful tile patterns in the centre and cut each piece so that the design followed through even though it is broken with the middle card fold. I have shared how I did this in my tutorial below.
The Mountain Fun Fold design is also a great way to have the card inside as the display. It will sit up like this due to those triangle pillars, so cool!

Here is a close up of the finished card where you can see just how dimensional those fun triangular pillars are. Such a ‘WOW’ design that would be such a fun card to receive.
