Simple Slant Fun Fold Card Featuring the Silly Old Bear Suite

Looking for a fun fold that's easy to create but looks extra special? This Simple Slant Fun Fold Card is a beautiful way to showcase your favorite Designer Series Paper while adding a unique interactive element to your card design.

For this project, I used Barely Blush cardstock paired with the adorable Silly Old Bear Suite. The soft colors and sweet imagery make this card perfect for sending a little happiness to someone special.

One of my favorite things about this design is how the layered slant panels create movement and visual interest without requiring complicated measurements. It's a great project for beginners and experienced crafters alike!

The sweet sentiment reminds us:

"Sometimes, when you go looking for happiness, happiness finds you."

A perfect reminder to tuck inside a card and send to a friend who could use a smile.

Creating the Slant

1. Using a ruler, measure and mark 2" up from the bottom right corner with a pencil.

Before adhering:

1. Place each DSP piece onto the slanted panel, positioning it approximately 1/4" above the bottom edge.
2. Trim off the excess at the top using scissors to match the slant.
3. Adhere the DSP panel.
4. Repeat for all four sections.

A Few Finishing Touches

To complete the card, I added:

• A heartfelt sentiment

These little details help bring the entire design together while still keeping the card clean and elegant.
