Hey there, fellow crafters! Are you ready to sprinkle some joy and creativity into your day? Well, buckle up because today, we're diving headfirst into the whimsical world of fun fold cards using the oh-so-adorable Playing in the Rain stamp set!

We've got a charming bunny hopping through rain puddles, with the sweet sentiment "Rainy days are better with you" warming hearts everywhere. Who could resist such a delightful scene? Not us, that's for sure!

Now, let's get down to business, shall we? Grab your crafting gear and let's embark on this magical journey together.

Measurements (in inches)

Card base: Basic black 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4

DSP - 4 x 5-1/4

Small card base is 3 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/8

inside of small card - 4 x 2-7/8 - DSP (if desired) 1/2 x 4

outside sentiment piece - 2-3/4 x 3-7/8

What sets this card apart is that it's a fun fold. When you cut the front on the diagonal and then insert the small card inside, this is a very unique card! We're going for a fun and funky fold that'll have your recipients grinning from ear to ear. Get ready to unleash your inner paper crafting master!

I also created this card using the Simply Zinnia and Zinnia Suite Collection that is an online exclusive



Once your card base is prepped and folded to perfection, it's time to add whatever sentiment and fun to the front of the card you like! This really brings this fun fold card to life! If you're using animals as a focal point, grab your favorite ink pad and start stamping away. Feel free to get creative with your color choices—after all, who says your animals can't be pink or purple?

No card is complete without a sprinkle of pizzazz! Whether it's a dash of glitter, a pop of color, or some cute embellishments, let your creativity run wild. Remember, there's no such thing as too much sparkle!
Here, the fun fold was used with the Latte Love Suite Collection, which is also an online exclusive from Stampin' Up!
