- Fancy fold cards are taking the card making world by storm. In this tutorial I use Graphic 45 By the Sea, A Place in Time and Portrait of a Lady collections to show you just how fun it is to create these dynamic and dimensional cards. We'll learn how to build the bases for a Double Gatefold Card, A Step Out Card and a Fanfare Fancy Fold Card. I'll also share the completed cards with you so you know what they look like. Get out your scissors, glue, paper and ruler and get ready to have fun with Graphic 45 and fancy fold cards.

Beautiful cards. Easiest instructions to follow . I am hooked and subscribed . Thankyou
Wow,! Thanks so much, Toni! I'm so happy you enjoyed the tutorial! I look forward to sharing my crafty adventures with you. You made my day with this lovely comment! xo
Whaaaaat? I have never seen a double gatefold card like that! I thought I had made a really pretty one but compared to yours it could be an old tuna sammich that somebody left sitting i the sun. Your fun fold cards are over the top gorgeous! You just outdid yourself. Thank you for sharing. I still can’t imagine how you came up with these beautiful ideas. I’m inspired 💕
Oh wow! Thank you for making my day with this enthusiastic response to these fun fold cards. I'm so glad to know you enjoyed the tutorial. And by the way, I love tuna sandwiches! LOL Happy crafting!
OMG! I never saw most beautiful cards ! Your cards are breathtaking. Gorgeous gorgeous work.Thank you so much for sharing xx
Thank you so very much for this kind comment! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video, and I hope you have fun making the cards!
Kathy, I recently been following your channel and love your gorgeous designs. Is there a tutorial for these? I see others commenting but can't find them.
Hi, Carol! So nice to hear from you! This video is the tutorial. I show you how to build the card bases, then you can use the finished cards as examples to help you decorate your cards. Happy crafting!
@@kathyclementkathybydesign Thank you Kathy! I love your work.
@@carolsamford Thank you so much! I am so glad you are finding inspiration here! Happy crafting!
@@carolsamford thank you for your gracious words, my friend! xo
Really beautiful cards, I hope to see more cards (mini albums take too long for me!). So happy you are on the design team again! These cards could be made with any of the paper collections, great ideas and inspiration, thank you!
Hi, Craftin Kate! Yes, I am thrilled to be a G45 Brand Ambasador again this year. I am really more of a card maker but I still love to create folios and such. And yes, you could make these cards with any G45 collection. Happy crafting!
Love these graphic 45s! I just started using this paper. I made the book and then saw a card..Wow! I'll be following you! Your cards are wonderful!😃 tfs
Hi, Lorraine! Welcome to the G45 lovers club! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial for these fun fold cards! Thanks so much for subscribing to my TH-cam channel! Happy crafting!
Over the top!! Delightful. I will start today. I do have one request, and perhaps it is not my place to say this but, could you show the finished card at the beginning? I find seeing the finished card helps me in the construction of the card and it does aid in following the instructions. Just a small request, Your work could me in a museum.
Thanks so much, Lynne! Makes me so happy to know how much you enjoyed the tutorial. I usually do show the finished project at the beginning of the video, but this time around, the cards had not been made yet! LOL Thanks for the great comment! Happy crafting!
these cards are just great!!!! V. Romero
Thanks so very much! They are really fun to make! Happy crafting!
Your cards are fabulous! I saved this video to my favorites. I really want to try the second one. Thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial! I appreciate you.
Thank you so much Marla! Knowing that you are going to give one of these designs a try is the best compliment in the world! Happy Crafting!
Love your cards!! Thank you for the easy explanation on how to make...lovely thank you
Hi, Glennys! I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial and I hope you have loads of fun making the cards!
Great cards, I'm with you I do not like those small cards, I love larger cards!
Thanks, Linda! I'm so very glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Have fun making these big ole cards!
congratulations on being on the design team again. i love your projects. im not a traditional anything so i love interactive things. these cards are fantastic!
Aww! Thank you Dana! That just makes my day. Interactive elements make a card come alive. Happy crafting!
So beautiful.....love how you explain every thing.
Thank you so much! I"m very glad you enjoyed this tutorial! It's one of my favorites!
Been viewing some of your videos, gorgeous! Subscribed :-)
Thank you so much! That makes my day!
Comparing the folds on the folio portion of the Fanfare - what sizes did you make each of the panels that are adhered to the foilio base?
It's been ages since I made these cards, and I'm not 100% sure I understand your question. But I think you are asking me about the layers on the card front. From what I can see in this photo, it looks as though I covered the front of the base completely with designer paper, then cropped the corners. The other layers you are seeing are from the fan folds that we attached to the front of the card base. It looks to me that I covered each section completely, then cropped the corners. I hope that helps, and I'm sorry I can't remember more exactly than that.
Ok, I think I know what you are asking now. It looks to me as though the base is fully covered, then the next layer is cut to leave a 1/4" margin all the way around the card. The remaining layers are 1/8" margins on all sides. Hope that helps! Happy crafting!
These cards are beautiful. They are more than just cards, they're also the gift.
Thank you so much, Lisa! Yes, this is what I have started doing with all my cards. I don't really like to shop (except for paper pretties, of course) so I turn my cards into gifts. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video!
Fabulous cards. Really inspiring video. Thanks
Margaret, thank you so much! You have no idea how much that means to me. Happy crafting!
Thanks great explanation-subscribed 👍🌸X
Thank you so much for that feedback, Lynn! You made my day! Happy Crafting!
These cards are stunning, Kathy. I regularly indulge in a Graphic 45 paperpack, but feel reluctant to cut into them, because they are so pretty 😁. Now, I feel encouraged to do just that. I will sure watch more of your tutorials. Hugs, Brigitte
Hooray, Brigitte! That just makes my day! Dig out those beautiful G45 papers, sharpen your scissors and have fun! The first cut is the hardest...but then it gets easier and easier. I'm so glad you found my channel! Welcome!
Thank you, and I will 😄
Let me know how it goes! Happy crafting!
Great ideas for left overs lovethem thank you for sharing 💞
Thanks so much, Kathleen! Yes...use those leftover bits and pieces! They are like golden nuggets! Happy crafting, and thanks for making my day!

Totally wowed me Kathy!! Excellent tutorials.
Thank you so much, Michelle! I'm so glad you enjoyed seeing how these fun fold cards are made! Happy crafting!
Wow, your cards are more than cards, they are an adventure trip! You have to be the original Superwomem, how did you ever raise a family, visit the beach, bake etc and also be so creative?! Have you got a time machine hidden in your cellar!!! It was so nice to learn a little about you Kathy. You never cease to inspire me - Thank you!

Kathy, these are just fabulous. I love your style and your taste in paper is much the same as mine. Although the Portrait of a Lady is stunning, I have a real fondness for the vintage beach and sea shore themed papers. Looking forward to more design team project. TFS

Hello Carol from Bonnie Scotland! Thank you so much for your very kind words. I'm glad you found me, and look forward to sharing lots of ideas with you. Are you a fellow card maker?
kwclement
Hello! Yes I've been making cards for around 20 years now. I'm about to make those in your video for upcoming birthdays. I also love making mixed media pieces like canvases, bottles, jars and plaques etc. I don't often leave comments, but your video was so inspirational and rather unique compared to others. Keep calm and Craft On! xx
Très joli. Mais dommage de séparer les explications et les œuvres obtenues.
My high school French is rusty, Garo, but I think you are saying it is too bad that I separated the finished card from the tutorial? I'm sorry if that was confusing for you. Thanks for watching the tutorial and for taking the time to leave feedback.
Beautiful ‼️💖
