Fold Your Cards
Fed up of making the same style of cards all the time? Try something different with this “over the edge” fun fold card template!
The FREE template comes in both PDF format (to cut out by hand) AND a Design Space project for easy cutting on Cricut machines – woohoo!
Folding Cards Take the traditional route with ACI’s Folded Cards. We offer 3 different sizes, 5 different paper types and 3 different folds, including letter or accordion-fold. Personalize your card with extra features that include: HD6 color upgrade, UV coating and textures. The fold line should go through the center of the narrow width of the card. A piece of letter-size paper folded in two makes a single card measuring 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches. A piece of letter-size paper cut in half and then folded into a landscape card in two will make two cards each sized 4.25 inches by 5.5 inches.
Printable cards! In this section, you can actually design and create your own card and print it out in your home to send to family and friends. There is a template to which you can upload a personal or family photo from your computer or choose one of the many images available on the site. Given that you have a raise and re-raise in front of you, and given your extremely weak holding, you announce a fold and toss your cards into the muck. You have verbally declared your fold and are now out of the hand. Even if the flop comes 5h-6h-4h, you can not re-enter the hand as you have already folded.Recent Articles That Include The. Folded business cards are a great way to present even more information about you and your business in the same size as a standard business card. With both a half-fold option and a tabbed-fold option you can add more content, images, and services to your card and present something that really grabs attention.

What is a fun fold card?
A fun fold card is… well, one that’s… err… fun… to fold! ??
It’s a generic card making term for any card shape that is a little more complex and interesting than simply folding a piece of card in half to make your card blank.
For this card, the “fun fold” part is the half-size front panel combined with the over-the-edge square.
It’s such a simple design, but has endless possibilities for crafting fun!

WRITTEN TUTORIAL: How to make a fun fold card
Here is how to assemble this over-the-edge fun fold greetings card.
1) Cut out all pieces of the template
Use either the Cricut version of the template or the PDF version and cut out all pieces of the card onto your chosen card/papers.
Don’t forget to cut one of the smaller rectangle onto white so you can write your message on it.
2) Stick the smaller shapes to the larger ones
Can You Show Your Cards When You Fold
Stick the three smaller rectangle into the middle of the larger versions, and the smaller square onto the larger one.
I use double-sided tape or tacky glue for card making – both are great adhesive choices.
What Does Fold Mean In Cards
3) Stick on the front panel
Stick the front panel to the front of the card base.
It’s easiest to open up the card to do this to make sure you’re sticking it exactly in the middle.
4) Stick on the top panel
Stick the top panel to the inside of the card base, at the top.
You could use foam pads to this panel to add a bit of 3D dimension!
5) Stick in your insert piece
Open up the card and stick the rectangle with your message section to the inside of the card.
6) Attach the square
Put adhesive on the bottom 1/3 of the back of the square panel.
Stick it to the front of your card.
Make sure you don’t have any glue showing through the back that might accidentally stick it to the inside of the card, otherwise it won’t open!
You could use foam pads instead of glue to add a bit of 3D dimension.
7) Decorate the card!
Now for the REALLY fun bit – adding your decorations!
Go as subtle or as WILD as you want with your embellishments!
I hope you have enjoyed this fun fold card tutorial.
