Just when I thought I'd seen and tried every fun fold, I discovered the Dutch Door fold!  It's a very simple fold but I did make it a bit more complicated for myself that it needed to be!

I stamped and watercoloured an image from the Lovely Lily Pad set that's FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-A-Bration and paired it with the coordinating Lily Impressions Designer Series Paper - also Free in the Sale-A-Bration catalogue!

With this fun fold, only half of the interior of the card is available to write on -
this could be an advantage or a disadvantage, depending on how much you like to write in cards!
I cut a piece of Coastal Cabana cardstock to 8 1/2" x 4 1/4" and folded it in half at 4 1/4".

I then scored the front at 2 1/8" only as far as the fold.

The next step would usually be to cut away this top section of the front of the card and, after decorating, adding a piece that's attached to the remaining card front but sticks up over the decorated top half of the card interior.

But I experimented with half cutting a circle.  I've included a picture of the method below but I wouldn't really recommend it because I had to fold the card over the top cutting plate and it did do a little damage to the card that's noticeable if you know what you're looking for.

Lastly, I adhered the lily pad to the front of the card, lining it up with the half circle I'd already formed.

I  positioned the top cutting plate so that it only covered the top half of the die (ie only as far down as the score line)
But I had to fold the 2nd page of the card over the top cutting plate to avoid also cutting it
Thank you for visiting.
'Til next time!
