Hello everyone.
I have seen this fun fold several times over the past few weeks as I scanned YouTube tutorials and blog posts. Despite not being a ‘stand-up’ card, I decided to give it a go for two masculine cards required for this weekend, at the request of my daughter — one for her Dad, the other for her boyfriend’s dad.
This is the one I made for her boyfriend’s dad.
This is the one I made for my daughter’s dad. He’s an avid mountain
biker and his bike frame is orange, pink and blue. This explains the
colours as I wouldn’t normally put these colours together — Pumpkin Pie, Pacific Point and Melon Mambo. The focal piece is folded like an accordion and you pull it open from the left.

Luckily, the gears in this stamp set work nicely for a bike card and so does the greeting.
