Recently I received a beautiful fun-fold card from a friend, and it was so nice that I had to try to make it myself! I made one as a sample, and then made another one with some different papers. Today you are seeing both of my cards: one is made with a Petal Pink card base and the other with a Balmy Blue card base.
The card itself is a 4-1/4″ square with a triangle cut off the front of the card. Then inside is a smaller card – so fun! These pictures show you how the card opens up.
The Nested Friends Bundle is adorable. This is the first time I’ve used it and it’s too cute! I just love the bird in this set, it’s a sweet bird. I’m not sure if it’s a boy or a girl bird 🙂 And the detailed nest is amazing. I’ve never seen a die-cut nest quite like it!
Here are the measurements for you:
Square card base: 8-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 4-1/4″
Basic White piece inside square card: 4″ x 4″
Small card inside square card: 7″ x 3″ scored at 3-1/2″
Country Floral Lane piece adhered to front of small card: 2-3/4″ x 3-1/4″
Basic White piece inside small card: 2-3/4″ x 3-1/4″
Here’s a video tutorial showing you exactly how to create this card:
On the Petal Pink card I used a Basic White oval under the cute bird and nest. On the Balmy Blue card I left off the oval. Which one do you like best? I think I prefer the oval because it makes the bird and the nest stand out.
The coordinating square envelopes are 4-1/2″ x 4-1/2″. I got them from Amazon: CLICK HERE

Peggy, you have sold me on this bundle! I just love your soft color scheme ….. I never would have thought of a pink nest …. but those pink nests on your cards really caught my eye! Your coloring of the birds is so lovely!
