Double Dutch Fold Card

Hi everyone, today I have a card which has been a popular request!

These Double Dutch fold cards where lots of fun to make and very quick and easy.

Double Dutch Fold Cards

I think the reason I liked making this one so much is that it’s got a Gatefold style about it, which I love.

I still have some of my Nature’s Grace papers by Dovecraft which worked perfectly with this style card.

These are 5″ x 7″ cards so they stand nice and tall and have lots of room inside for your message.
