Let's Go Fishing! Double-Fold Card


Hello Scrapping Cottage friends! It's Janet from SugarShine Designs with a masculine card for you today. This card is called a double-fold card and is also known as a Joy card fold. By complete coincidence, Lois posted this same card fold on Monday except she turned it so that the card opened up vertically. My card opens up horizontally but is otherwise very similar. This is a nice fold because it starts out a normal A2 size but once opened expands to three panels and 10.25" wide.


I used many different die sets to create this project but if you don't have all of them, just substitute with different dies. This same idea can work on a number of different themes. Just start by thinking about what you want to use for the closure and then go from there.

In my case, I started with the tree from the Grass, Trees & Vines set and built the rest around the outdoors theme. I also used all the dies from the stamp and die set called Woodlands. The detail in these stamps and dies are awesome. You can color these any number of ways but I chose to use my PrismaColor pencils. I colored the dies from the Fishing Gear set with distressed ink.

CottageCutz Woodlands & Woodland Animals


Hello, everyone!  So glad you stopped by the Scrapping Cottage blog!  This is Bev Polen from Guneaux Designs, and I am a guest designer for today!  The project I have created for you features the wonderful stamps and dies from the CottageCutz Woodlands Set, CottageCutz Woodland Animals Set, and the dies from the Rustic Sign & Trees.  I had so much fun creating this card, and I hope you enjoy it.


I love the gorgeous fox images and dies from the CottageCutz Woodland Animal Set; therefore, I had to add three foxes to my card.  The little raccoon is so adorable that I planed to add two but there was not room on the card.  If you have not purchased the set yet, I promise you will have so much fun creating with it and the CottageCutz Woodlands Set.

To create the card, I stamped, colored (with copics), and cut out the images I would use for the project.


After die cutting the elements, I decided I wanted to fussy cut around them, which I did.  Then I created a Step Ladder Center Cut Card with white card stock, and sponged on it a sky, sun, and grass.  It was then time to load up the card with the critters.  What fun!!

If you would enjoy making a similar card, select the elements you want to showcase and color and die cut them.  Then create the Step Ladder Center Cut Card by following these instructions:

  • Cut a 7" x 10" piece of heavy card stock.
  • With the 7″ side at the top of a cutting tool (henceforth, trimmer), move the card stock to the left to the 1-5/8″ mark.


  • Move the cutting blade of your trimmer down to the 1″ mark and lower the cutting arm.  


  • Cut the paper from the 1" mark to the 8-1/2" mark.
  • Turn the paper over (not around or the cut lines will not match), move it to the 1-5/8" mark on the trimmer, move the cutting blade down to the 1" mark, and lower the cutting arm. 



  • Cut the card stock from the 1" mark to the 8-1/2" mark.
  • Remove card stock from the trimmer, and it will look like the following.  (Note: There is 1" from the top of the 7" side of the card stock to the first cut line, and 1-1/2" from the cut line to the bottom.)  
  • Place the card stock onto a scoring tool with the 10" side at the top.  Ensure the 7" side that is to the left on the scoring tool is the one that has the cut lines 1" from the side.  Score at the 1", 2" and 3" marks from the first cut line to the second cut line.  Score at the 5" mark from the top to the bottom of the card stock. Score at the 7-1/2" mark from the first cut line to the second.


  • Now fold the card stock according to the following:  a) 1" score line is a mountain fold, b) 2" score line is a valley fold, c) 3" score line is a mountain fold, d) 5" score line is a mountain fold on the two sides and a valley fold in the center, and e) 7-1/2" score line is a mountain fold. 


  • Decorate the card to your liking.  If desired and to support the elements placed on the back step (mountain fold), cut a 3-11/16" x 4-7/8" piece of card stock and attach it to the back step on which you can add your primary feature.  I added this piece to my card.
