Super easy fun-fold card that still WOWs!!!

 Our last team meeting Batty Brooks demonstrated this super fun card that looks so difficult, but it is really really easy and has the WOW factor.  I did three cards, all featuring products on the last chance list.  Which is your favourite?

The Rock Star Bundle?



The Lighter than Air designer series paper? or...

The Sweet Songbirds stamp set and the punch (by the way, the punch is 50% off!!!)

Want to learn how to make this super easy card, make sure you watch my video.

Here are the measurements:

- Card base - 4 1/4 X 8 1/2, score with the 81/2 across the top at 2, 4,6 and 8, then flip around and score at 2

- Same colour as card base 1 X 3, score at 1/2 on both sides, fold into a z fold

DSP 1 - 1 7/8 X 4

DSP 2 1 7/8 X 1 7/8 (need 6 of these, can be all the same pattern or 3 of one pattern and 3 of another)

DSP 3 1 7/8 X 2 (need 3)

Basic White 1 7/8 X 4
