A Kite Fold Card Details
One thing I love about fall are the colors. The rich tones, the smell of wood burning in neighborhood fireplaces and the crisp autumn air all make me want to curl up with my favorite blanket and drink a hot cider.
Fun fold cards provide an incredible opportunity to send a WOW in the mail. And let’s face it, during this pandemic, we can all use a little pick-me-up! Follow along with today’s video, stopping and starting as often as you’d like, and make this fun fold card with me.
The Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Paper (Mini Catalog, page 45) includes elegant designs in rich earth tones. There are copper and gold foil accents on some of the sheets and some of the images can be punched out using the coordinating Autumn Punch Pack.
Kite Fold Card – Idea #2
This cheerful designer paper is called Artistry Blooms (Annual Catalog, page 148). These bold, bright patterns are double-sided with softer gradients, making it versatile for all kinds of cards.
Spruce up your kite fold card with coordinating strings and bows. Stampin’ Up!’s color coordination makes it easy to create professional looking cards!
In addition to a full card base, the kite fold opens to reveal another area, perfect for a hidden sentiment or handwritten note. This fun fold provides unlimited possibilities including unique baby announcements and invitations!
Kite Fold Card – Idea #3
Have you started your handmade Christmas cards yet? With a little over 3 months to go, it’s not too soon to decide on this year’s design. Creating a few cards a week allows for the entire process to be fun and stress-free.
Did the Snowflake Splendor Suite catch your attention in the Mini Catalog? Check out page 37 for this suite’s coordinated designer paper, embossing folder, glimmer paper and embellishments. Snowflakes never looked so pretty!
Magnetic Discs
Consider Glue Dots, velcro dots and these amazing mini magnetic discs to close this kite fold card. These magnetic discs are affordable, easy to use and have self-adhesive. You can find the small Basic Grey Magnetic Discs I used by CLICKING HERE.

My favorite card was the snowflake card
my favorite was the fall kite
Where can we buy the magnets to keep the kite closed?
Go to Basic Grey, (click here button in her text). Much cheaper than Amazon. With shipping I got 20 magnets for $9.00 . Amazon is less magnets for more money.

Lou happy to be back!! So happy you like these fun cards!! Fall is such a beautiful time of the year!! Thanks for watching!
My favourite card was the thanksgiving and I did love Faith as well. I think my preference was the colours and that I live in Australia where we don’t have snow at Christmastime. I prefer to stay away from snow, snow flakes and the like. ? I can’t wait to try my hand at this fold! x PS I’m a new (June 2020) demonstrator in Adelaide, Australia

Such a cute idea! I really like the Christmas card the best.
Phyllis thank you so much!! Thrilled you like the card!!
I found the magnets on Amazon. Here is the description to use to search for them : “Basic Grey 5/8-Inch-by-1/32-Inch Magnetic Snaps Large.” If you do not use the size dimensions when searching, you will get a page full of options of different strengths and sizes of magnets as well as those by different manufacturers. Hope this helps! Happy crafting! If
