The matchbook fun fold card idea has been around for decades! This easy handmade card will be one you mass produce. Grab your stapler – it’s the hidden secret!
While the title to this video uses a masculine card, I’m demonstrating this fold using a floral card idea. I’ve included the masculine version and an adorable birthday card using a gnome theme.

Gnomes are everywhere! These adorable mythical creatures come in a variety of shapes and sizes and the Friendly Gnomes stamp set represents that well.
Paired here with the Flowers & More host exclusive designer paper, this card showcases the use of the Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers. New to alcohol-based Blends? Click HERE for my YouTube playlist to learn how to use them in various ways.
A single staple holds the lower portion closed but don’t miss the video for tips on using the stapler at the best angle.
The inside of this card allows for plenty of space for additional signatures, sentiments or decorating. Save those small pieces of designer paper to adorn the inside edge of your cardstock to create a cohesive feel from the outside to the inside of your card.
Masculine Matchbook Fun Fold Card | Paradise Palms
Tropical images that include a feeling of “movement” are what the Paradise Palms stamp set and the Palms Dies encompass. Perfect for the outdoorsmen, beach lover or masculine cards, these images are perfect for cards any time of the year.
The Enjoy the Journey Designer Series Paper boasts vibrant landscapes that are simple to adapt to a variety of scenes.
Play up the bottom edge with hand torn paper to resemble sand. This easy technique provides lots of texture to an otherwise simple card. Today’s video will teach you how.
Wrap it up and finish the inside with a smaller version of the front of the card. Sponge daubers provide the perfect tool to apply color to small areas.
