Fun Fold Card Challenge!

I love learning new ways to fold cards. What is your favorite card folding technique?  Is it the

  • TALL card
  • Z-Fold
  • Joy Fold
  • Dangling Image Fold
  • Pedestal
  • Paper Frame
  • Gate Fold
  • Multi-Gate Fold
... something else not listed?  I'd love to see your FUN FOLD CARDS!  So I thought I'd make this into a challenge!

To enter for a chance to win some Peachy Keen Stamps:  (Anyone can enter, but to win you must have a USA shipping address.)
1.  Make a NEW card (no back-links, please) with a fun fold & link your card below to your blog post direct link (not a general link to your whole blog)
2.  Please include measurements and How To instructions on your post so I can make one like it too!
 You may enter more than once, 
but each entry must be a 
NEW card with a 
DIFFERENT fun fold!
That's it!  I'd love you to include a link back here inviting others to play along. 
The challenge will be open until NOON CST March 31st. Winner will be announced on Friday, April 1st.  If you have trouble linking below, please leave a comment with your blog post link, name, and email so I can link it for you.

  2. I have been trying to try a few interesting cards with cool techniques. Will you be posting photos of all the cards people come up with (maybe you said this somewhere but I missed it)? This also sounds like a great Blog Hop idea.

  3. Oh gosh Janis! I agree with Tuttle Time, this would make a great blog hop theme!!! I'm researching another fold that I'm gonna try to do. I've got a sketch, but no measurements for it. Don't know where I got the sketch from. When I find measurements, I'll make something and post it. I'm with Sheree, this is fun fun fun!!!! :)
