Double Dutch Fold with the Fancy Folds Team

It's May and I hope you are ready for another round of fancy folds :-) This time the Fancy Folds Team is doing the double dutch fold. 

It's funny how we are often intimidated by fancy folds and yet usually they are super easy. This one is another super easy fold. I used this video tutorial by Splitcoaststampers - it is so easy that the video is less than 3 minutes 😃

You take half a sheet of cardstock cut the long way, score it in half and cut a smidge of one of the sides approximately 1/16" or 2mm. Then you cut a piece of your front card flap. The tutorial says to cut 2" off, but as I am using A4 cardstock which is longer than 8.5"x11" I cut 2.5" or 6.5cm off. I felt that balanced the card better.

You then cut another piece of cardstock that is same height as what you cut off and the width of a sheet of cardstock (8.5" or 21cm) . For me this piece is 6.5cm by 21cm. Stick it to the bottom back of your card and wrap it around to give you the 2 gates.

My base card is Basic Gray and I layered it with Fresh Freesia. I used the Garden Green piece from the Heart & Home DSP pack.

I stamped the smaller flower image from the Blessings of Home stamp set in Staz-On ink on watercolour paper and water coloured the image with Fresh Freesia, Garden Green, and Mango Melody ink. After it dried I die cut the image with the matching Flowers of Home dies and gave the flowers some Wink of Stella.

I popped the flower image up onto a die cut in Basic Gray cut with a label die from the Painted Labels die and a Fresh Freesia circle. I then added a few Basic Rhinestones to the card.

On the inside I added a piece of Basic White cardstock and stamped the same image in Basic Gray in the corner.
