Thank you so very much. This will keep me busy for... at least the weekend. Okay, who am I kidding...the rest of the year!

It's never too late to review all of the types of folds. This video was one of the most clear and succinct in my many years of crafting cards. Thank you so much from a veteran card maker!
Z fold was my favorite. I've made them before, but I always start from scratch. How much easier to start with an accurate card blank! Love that you get 2 for 1 also.
Thank you for this tutorial, simply for the measurements! Even though I have been crafting cards for many years it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of all of the ‘fun’ card shapes we can create with a little imagination - and of course remembering 😂. Thanks again Sandy 🌸
Well demonstrated giving me time to watch closely, write dimensions, and to feel confident in the easy of trying these folds! Thank you Altenew for providing this wonderful instruction!
Hello from Clifton Park, NY. I really only make the basic card folds. Now with this video, I will try the rest. I like the Aperture card. Wow, you make that one so easy. I will give it a try.
I really liked the aperture card. It's great to be able to hide something cute on the inside. Thank you for putting all the different ways to fold cards in one place!
My favorite is the gate card. But to be truthful there are so many I haven’t tried and with this detailed “class” video I will be trying all of them. Thank you for providing all of us such an amazing tutorial.
What a great video! I started stamping/card-making in 1995 and have never tried some of these folds. My favorite fold is still the Top-fold; it’s just so versatile. Thank you!
There is just something about a Z-fold trifold card that I really like. I think it is all the layers compared to more traditional cardfolds. So that is my favorite😊
Great help… love your voice and cadence. Nice and slow so I can write it down. Will make one of each to create templates with instructions. Think you just save me lots of $$$. Thank you🎉
I have always been partial to card styles that have movement. Whether it be an aperture, spinner or shaker. I must say that I am now going to try the tri-fold book style. Thank you. 😊
This is an amazing vid on card types for beginners; Amy was so calm as she explained them,WoW!! Thank you, #TeamAltenew!! 💜🥰🤩👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 My fav: Z-Fold Tri-fold cards, as you get 2 scored cards out of the process!❤
This is hard.... I love all the fun folds.... but if I had to choose, I think I would have to choose the "Simple Stepper Card" and the "Gatefold" ... Thank you so much for sharing this.... I have to save in my Card Fun Folds folder....
Love them all, but interactive and fun fold cards make my heart happy, so the shaker, shaped, die cut window stepper, trifold, the gate fold and spinner, easel, etc… are my favorites! 🫣I am warming up to slim cards…Thank you Amy and Lydia for sharing!
I'm a pretty basic card maker and rely on the standard side fold cards most of the time, but I'd like to try the easel card. Great quick guide for card folds, thanks!
Great tutorial! I have made many of these folded cards but I usually create a top fold. Thank you for detailing so many options in one concise video. This is an excellent source of instruction & inspiration. 💙
I loved the last card. So simple and there's a lot of things that you as a maker can do to enhance the card. I'll definitely be making this card today 😀! ❤
Great and informative video!! Thank you! My go to is usually a side fold or top fold, but I really love making gate fold cards. The possibilities are endless for ways to close them. I've been playing with die cuts that will allow interlocking pieces to make them close. It's been fun learning what will work and what won't!
This is a great tutorial for beginners and a good reminder for those who have been crafting awhile. I did like the Aperature, spinner card, as have not done one of those.
Great tips! I love and use all of these folds when card making, but I love a beautifully decorated gatefold card all the time! But a good slimline card is a lot of fun too! Thank you!
Hi!, my favourite type of card to make is the Z fold card! Your video and instructions are so easy to follow, I wrote everything down for a reference for me to follow, and I will refer back to watch the video again for all your decorating ideas! Thanks, Joan
Very well done. I need to be reminded of all the great options out there. I love the surprise of an aperture card, but your gatefold options were terrific. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Thank you for demonstrating all the different types of folded cards. I am still a newbie to card making and this will definitely come in handy. My favorite is #6. Do you have a video showing the technique creating this card with the vellum? Thank you!
This video is a game changer for me in card making. Thank you for sharing this great tutorial. Who would have thought how an A2 card leaves zero scraps !!!!
Great tutorial! It’s a good reminder how easy it is to change up a basic card. I liked the z-fold tri fold card. I want to do one of those with a scene. Thanks for the great explanations with measurements.
Saved to have instructions for later!

It's never too late to review all of the types of folds. This video was one of the most clear and succinct in my many years of crafting cards. Thank you so much from a veteran card maker!
Z fold was my favorite. I've made them before, but I always start from scratch. How much easier to start with an accurate card blank! Love that you get 2 for 1 also.
I love making easel cards. My grandma loves them because she likes to display her cards and she finds them to be the best for that.
Was explained so well it made it easy to understand. Voice was also soothing.
I need to save this video so I can master each. Thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial, simply for the measurements! Even though I have been crafting cards for many years it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of all of the ‘fun’ card shapes we can create with a little imagination - and of course remembering 😂. Thanks again Sandy 🌸
Watching the replay from Palm Bay FL. This is a fantastic video. My favorite is the tri fold z fold card. So fun. TFS😊
Great demonstration! I love that you took the time to really explain what to do! 😊😊😊
I love the Slimline Card because it has more room for your creativity. 🦄
To make a traditional card base I score the whole length at 4 1/4 and then rotate to cut at 5 1/2. Score once, cut once and done ❤
I love all the ways you have shown here. I am a new card maker. Thanks for all the great knowledge
Well demonstrated giving me time to watch closely, write dimensions, and to feel confident in the easy of trying these folds! Thank you Altenew for providing this wonderful instruction!
Thanks for providing this great instructional video. This encourages us to use our creativity in even more ways! The cards you made are beautiful! 😊
Hello from Clifton Park, NY. I really only make the basic card folds. Now with this video, I will try the rest. I like the Aperture card. Wow, you make that one so easy. I will give it a try.
I really liked how you had all the folds in one place. My favorite is the appetite card.
Instructions are so clear.
Thanks for all the ideas -- and you do explain so well
Really nice tutorial, thanks heaps ❤
I really liked the aperture card. It's great to be able to hide something cute on the inside. Thank you for putting all the different ways to fold cards in one place!
My favorite is the gate card. But to be truthful there are so many I haven’t tried and with this detailed “class” video I will be trying all of them. Thank you for providing all of us such an amazing tutorial.
I’m sitting between the aperture and the Z fold. Haven’t tried either, will do at least one of each in my next few creates! Thank you!
Thank you for the very informative video - really enjoyed it. I really like the tri/z fold card the best.
What a great video! I started stamping/card-making in 1995 and have never tried some of these folds. My favorite fold is still the Top-fold; it’s just so versatile.
Thank you!
The cards that I do the most are the standard cards, but my favorite are the slimline or the easel cards.
I’ve created many of these folds, but I haven’t tried a z-fold! I love how easy it is to do. Definitely trying this! Thx for the tutorial, Amy!
That's what I said :)
Great Tutorial…thanks for all of your measurements. ♥️♥️♥️
There is just something about a Z-fold trifold card that I really like. I think it is all the layers compared to more traditional cardfolds. So that is my favorite😊
Great help… love your voice and cadence. Nice and slow so I can write it down. Will make one of each to create templates with instructions. Think you just save me lots of $$$. Thank you🎉
Glad it was helpful!
I have always been partial to card styles that have movement. Whether it be an aperture, spinner or shaker. I must say that I am now going to try the tri-fold book style. Thank you. 😊
I wish I had seen this video 10 years ago so I would know how to do all these cards! Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! ❤
My favorite is the gatefold. The belly band in particular allows for so many variations.
This is an amazing vid on card types for beginners; Amy was so calm as she explained them,WoW!! Thank you, #TeamAltenew!! 💜🥰🤩👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
My fav: Z-Fold Tri-fold cards, as you get 2 scored cards out of the process!❤
This is a beautiful card fold making tutorial ! Thank you for sharing ! 😊
Thanks for watching! 😊
I didn’t even know I’d like a slimline card until I watched this video. Thank you for sharing!
Loved that y’all did this! So very helpful. Thanks 😊 Hard to say which one is my favorite but I do kinda like the spinner! 😊
Thank you for so many great card ideas. The Z fold is my favorite but it was hard to pick just one.
Thank you so much for this tutorial.
This is hard.... I love all the fun folds.... but if I had to choose, I think I would have to choose the "Simple Stepper Card" and the "Gatefold" ... Thank you so much for sharing this.... I have to save in my Card Fun Folds folder....
This is very helpful, thank you so much
Glad you made this video. Now I won't struggle when trying to cut them out!
My favorite is the aperture card. My next favorite is the Z-Fold Trifold
Thank you! 😊
I love them all but if I had to pick, it’s the gatefold. So easy but so versatile.
I think the Aperture card is my favourite. I’ve never tried to make one , but you have inspired me to give it a go. Thank you for a great tutorial.😊
You are so right, boredom sets-in making the same type of card base all of the time. I love the tri-fold z- fold card. I’m going to try it next. TFS❤
Best teaching video. Thank you for sharing.
I really like the aperture card that spins! Easier to mail than shaker and multiple fold cards that can be bulky! Great video!
Thank you we forget how many different styles can be made simply by turning or cutting the paper xx
Love them all, but interactive and fun fold cards make my heart happy, so the shaker, shaped, die cut window stepper, trifold, the gate fold and spinner, easel, etc… are my favorites! 🫣I am warming up to slim cards…Thank you Amy and Lydia for sharing!
I'm a pretty basic card maker and rely on the standard side fold cards most of the time, but I'd like to try the easel card. Great quick guide for card folds, thanks!
Awesome! I stopped buying cards when I got my Cricut. This video gives me even more ways to create cards! Thank you!
Great tutorial! I have made many of these folded cards but I usually create a top fold. Thank you for detailing so many options in one concise video. This is an excellent source of instruction & inspiration. 💙
I tend to make top and side folding the most but love a gatefold with belly band!
I am new to cardmaking. I love all the ways you have shown to make cards in this video. Thanks so much!!
Great video
I have mostly made the standard side fold, so this is very inspiring to try other fold styles. I like the ideas shared for the aperture type.
This video is awesome! Saved it for future reference. Great job explaining 😅
You’re so welcome! We’re glad you found it helpful.
Hi, I'm PJ Cimorelli and I'm brand new, I fell in love with the Z card ❤❤❤
We are so glad you found a new favorite card fold! 😊
I loved the last card. So simple and there's a lot of things that you as a maker can do to enhance the card. I'll definitely be making this card today 😀! ❤
Great and informative video!! Thank you! My go to is usually a side fold or top fold, but I really love making gate fold cards. The possibilities are endless for ways to close them. I've been playing with die cuts that will allow interlocking pieces to make them close. It's been fun learning what will work and what won't!
I've only done a few, but I do like the look of the slimline cards. So simple!
Aperture is my favorite. So versatile and full of fun surprises!
I love the Z-fold Tri-fold . Thank you for showing us how to make all these different types of cards. I will definitely be trying these .
What a wonderful guidance for making folded cards but my favorite is Z-fold trifold card.
TY so much for this video. I really like to make Z-fold cards b/c they're not so ordinary. Great for display!
I most enjoyed the aperture & gatefold cards. Especially when used in tandem.
I love the square card, but all ideas are great to try different sizes every now and then.
I had a hard time deciding…so I am saying they were all my faves and very helpful information when I get stuck and need fresh ideas. Thank you
I'm not great at remembering how to do these, so I appreciate a video that has several and I can save it in my favorites. Thank you
#11 is my fave...heading to the craft corner shortly to cut some bases so I can make some tomorrow while it's raining!😊 Thanks for all the ideas...❤
They are all great card designs, but the book style trifold was my favorite! Thanks for the tips!
This is a great tutorial for beginners and a good reminder for those who have been crafting awhile.
I did like the Aperature, spinner card, as have not done one of those.
Great tips! I love and use all of these folds when card making, but I love a beautifully decorated gatefold card all the time! But a good slimline card is a lot of fun too! Thank you!
I loved this video - what a great straightforward resource - thank you! My favorite is the easel card because it gives a sense of 3D dimension.
Thanks for the tutorial with clear measurements for cutting and scoring! Time to utilize different folds to “shape” up my cards!
I like the idea of the Z fold. I don’t use that technique often but I will include those this week.
A good reminder of the different card styles. I’ve done most of them already. All very fun to make. Thank you for this. 😁❤️😘👏
My favorite card fold is #5 Aperture card...I will definitely be trying to make one. Thanks for the video.
Hi!, my favourite type of card to make is the Z fold card! Your video and instructions are so easy to follow, I wrote everything down for a reference for me to follow, and I will refer back to watch the video again for all your decorating ideas! Thanks, Joan
Love to change up folds on my cards. Thanks for sharing your fold ideas.
The Z-fold is my favorite at the moment. 😊
Very well done. I need to be reminded of all the great options out there. I love the surprise of an aperture card, but your gatefold options were terrific. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Great job.
Oh my goodness I love the aperture cards! So many more ideas than I’ve thought of! Love all of these! Simple instructions and amazing ideas!
I LOVE them all but my favorite are Gatefolds and Z Folds! Thanks for showing them all off!!!
Thank you for demonstrating all the different types of folded cards. I am still a newbie to card making and this will definitely come in handy. My favorite is #6. Do you have a video showing the technique creating this card with the vellum? Thank you!
So many great ideas, but the book style trifold is my favorite! I’m already designing cards in my head!
Great tutorial! I love a slimline card. It really allows you to stretch your art.
This video is a game changer for me in card making. Thank you for sharing this great tutorial. Who would have thought how an A2 card leaves zero scraps !!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for doing this great summary of different card folds and shapes! My favorites are shaped and aperture, but I really want to try the Z-fold.
Thank you so very much for the step by step instructions on making the different card shapes.
Great tutorial! It’s a good reminder how easy it is to change up a basic card. I liked the z-fold tri fold card. I want to do one of those with a scene. Thanks for the great explanations with measurements.
This was a great reminder to get out of my rut of side-folding cards. The Book Style Tri-Fold Card is next up for me! Thank you very much!
Very helpful. My favorite is the gate fold.
I'm loving the z fold. So many ways to decorate and it looks so interesting standing for display.
I love a good trifold with a window on the front. I like the way a z-fold looks, but I’ve never actually made one. I think I’ll try it!
I mainly make five by sevens cards, but I really like the alternatives . I like the Z card you made the most.
