The official start of spring is just weeks away and I don't know about you but I'm ready for warmer temperatures. I'll admit, I did my share of whining this winter when Florida temperatures dipped into the upper 50's and low 60's during the day and in the low 40's at night. This Florida girl has thin blood!
With spring in mind I created this fancy fold card thatI'm calling a Double Front Fold Card. Special thanks to my team member, Shirley Gill, for sharing this fabulous fold with me.
I'm including photographs and cutting dimensions in this post. All the products are available in my online store and I give great, exclusive REWARDS for any size online order.

Hi Donna! I’m so glad you like the card. Details are what it’s about. Without measurements you can’t possibly duplicate it, right? 🙂 Enjoy!
Thank you Lisa for the inspiration for a card I made with my ladies at a local community group here on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.

Oh that’s fantastic, Margaret! I’m flattered that you liked it enough to share it. Thanks for commenting, too.
Thank you Lisa for this video tutorial. It might be nearly 2 years old but it’s helping crafters around world still.
I am in England, U.K. and have been searching for well over a year ideas for my sister’s wedding card. She gets married at the end of this month and I have been absolutely struggling to find a base for a card. Scouring pinterest as you do ? Stumbled on your video and literally have just been making the base tonight – have watched video about 10 times whilst crafting. The detailing will have to wait.
Now I think I will have to start watching more of your tutorials as you are right this Doubled Front Fold Card is great!
Thanks again
Hi Joanna! I’m so glad you found the video and that it was timely! This is such a fun fold and quite easy. I hope it’s perfect for the wedding invitations! Thanks for watching.
