3 Must-Try Fun Folds

I had so much fun in creating these 3 Must-Try Fun Folds with you in my YouTube Live yesterday.  If you have been following me, you know I love a good fun fold, and found these 3 must-try folds. I used the brand new Online Exclusive Gathering Moments Bundle, paired with the gorgeous Gathering Together 12×12 Designer Paper.

Whenever I get new 12×12 DSP’s I like to create a DSP Sampler.  I cut out the 12 Designs into 2″ x 2″ Squares, and add the coordinating colors with 1″ Circles.

  • Take Basic White Panel, line up next to track, mark at 2″ with pencil, and repeat on cutting from previous step.  You do not neet triangle
