Overlapping Fun Fold Cards are simple to make and can easily be altered for different sizes and designs. They are constructed from several small parts, meaning they're also great for using up some of those cardstock and patterned paper offcuts we all seem to have.

1. Start by trimming your cardstock and patterned paper into the required sizes. For clarity, I've listed the colours I used for my card, but feel free to choose the colours you wish to use.

one 6" x 4"

one 43/8" x 37/8"

one 31/2" x 3"

one 57/8" x 37/8"

two 37/8" x 1"

one 33/4" x 33/4"

one 27/8" x 27/8"

2. Secure the two 37/8" x 1" pieces of patterned paper to the top and bottom of the white cardstock with glue or double sided tape. This will form the centre of the card. If you wish, you can stamp a sentiment in the middle, leaving room for a personal message.

3. Place the 43/8" x 37/8" piece of cardstock horizontally on your score board and score at 1/2". Repeat for the 31/2" x 3" piece of cardstock. Make a light mountain fold along each score line. Turn the cardstock so that the larger one has the score line down the left hand side, and the smaller piece has the score line down the right hand side. See the photos below.

4. Secure the 33/4" x 33/4" piece of patterned paper to the larger piece of pink cardstock, and secure the image panel to the smaller piece of pink cardstock, leaving a narrow border around each.

5. Turn the larger piece of pink cardstock over and apply glue or double sided tape to the 1/2" tab you created earlier. Fold it around the piece of white cardstock so that the tab is at the back and the pink cardstock completely covers the white area. See the photos below.

6. Turn the image panel over and apply glue or double sided tape to the tab section in the same way you did in step 5. Fold it around the white cardstock and the first piece of pink cardstock, securing the tab at the back. Use a bone folder to press the folds firmly.

7. Use glue or double sided tape to secure the white cardstock to the 6" x 4" piece of pink cardstock, leaving a narrow border around all four sides.

8. If you wish, you can add further stamps and embellishments to complete your card.
