Here’s a fun fold card that’s uses your gorgeous double-sided Designer Series Paper stash. Just a few simple scores and cuts and you can create one interesting card. It’s a great way to create a few quick cards in a unique way. I just know you’ll enjoy making tons of these.

Isn’t the arrow portion just so cool. I love how the inside follows the arrow theme with the unique triangular pieces – and you don’t waste any DSP! You can decorate it as simply or as intricate as you like. Go ahead and go crazy!! I used products from the Painterly Pears Suite – my current favorite suite of products. The base is Mossy Meadow. I used DSP, Basic White, Darling Duckling and Petal Pink as well. I also used some Low Profile Sparkle Dots and a bit of Linen Thread. Here’s what you need to know to make this card.

CUTTING/SCORING INSTRUCTIONS
BASE: (Mossy Meadow) 5 1/2″x8 1/2″, score at 4 1/4″, then refer to the template below for the rest of the scoring.
DSP: 4″x5″, cut triangle **refer to template below
INSIDE: (Basic White) 4″x5″, cut triangle **refer to template below

Here’s another sample of an arrow card made with the Painterly Pears Suite.

I create this card using the Florals in Bloom Suite. Again, the double-sided Designer Series Paper makes decorating so easy. I also die cut the layers of “bloom” and added a simple bow. I’ll probably add some embellishments later because apparently it slipped my mind here, lol. I used Secret Sea for the card base and stamped in Timid Tiger and Secret Sea.

Here’s one last Christmas Card. I used a retired stamp set for the greeting and Bauble Blooms for the inside sentiment. I love to mix and match. The card base is Basic Red and I used the pretty Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper here. As you can see, this time I used the same side of the paper and let the arrow tips give the nice contrast in between the layers. This is my final Christmas Card of the season. I can’t believe the season is almost over. Time flies!!!

I hope you enjoy this fold. It’s a good one for those masculine cards too. I know you’ll use it again and again. Thanks for stopping by. Have a fabulous day and Happy Crafting!!
