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!

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.
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!
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.
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!❤
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🎉
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!
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 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!
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!
How exciting to have all these card folds in one video. I love them all. 2 of my favorites I want to try are #5 Aperture card with the spinning HUGS. Also #11 Z-Fold Trifold card. Thank you so much for making this great reference video❤
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
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 a great video and explains the processes quite clearly. My fave card shape is the diagonal fold .. altho decorating it is somewhat difficult for my limited, semi-creative talent!😀 Thanks for the opportunity to enter your giveaway!❤
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 😀! ❤
I love making every style but enjoy using the Square and can't resist the Slimline Cards! Thank you though for the other fun folds that I may not have used in a long time. Carol-Lynn
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. 😊
Thank you for this great tutorial Amy, Lydia and Altenew. An Easel Card is my favorite as I love dreaming up a decorated die cut or sentiment to prop it open!😍
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. 💙
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 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!
Hi, just subscribed to your channel. I used to make lots of cards and I loved doing them. I haven’t made a card for over 2 years now and watching your video has made me realise that I miss it very much. All my stuff is in storage though,‘once I get my stuff out of storage I will be definitely making lots of cards again. TFS, looking forward to lots more videos.
Welcome back to the world of card making! It’s wonderful to hear that you’ll be getting back into crafting. We’re looking forward to seeing what you create and are excited to share more videos with you. Thanks for subscribing, and happy crafting! 😊
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!
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 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.
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!
I love watching your videos. I'm new to card making and have learned so many things from your channel. It is so hard for me to pick my favorite. Since I'm new and all. But thank you for the education love your channel ❤❤❤❤

Thank you so much. I'm going to make templates so I will have this on hand at all times. I'm so excited
Great tutorial & an extraordinary instructor! Smart, clear, concise and probably the best tutorial in the crafting space!
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.
Great demonstration! I love that you took the time to really explain what to do! 😊😊😊
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😊
I need to save this video so I can master each. Thank you!
Thanks for providing this great instructional video. This encourages us to use our creativity in even more ways! The cards you made are beautiful! 😊
I love the Slimline Card because it has more room for your creativity. 🦄

Thanks for watching! 😊
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 love all the ways you have shown here. I am a new card maker. Thanks for all the great knowledge
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 ❤
Best teaching video. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for all the ideas -- and you do explain so well
Great Tutorial…thanks for all of your measurements. ♥️♥️♥️
This is an amazing vid on card types for beginners; Amy was so calm as she explained them,WoW!! Thank you, #TeamAltenew!! 💜🥰🤩👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This video is awesome! Saved it for future reference. Great job explaining 😅
You’re so welcome! We’re glad you found it helpful.
Thank you for the very informative video - really enjoyed it. I really like the tri/z fold card the best.
This is very helpful, thank you so much
Instructions are so clear.
Really nice tutorial, thanks heaps ❤

I really liked how you had all the folds in one place. My favorite is the appetite card.
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!
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
Great video
How exciting to have all these card folds in one video. I love them all. 2 of my favorites I want to try are #5 Aperture card with the spinning HUGS. Also #11 Z-Fold Trifold card. Thank you so much for making this great reference video❤
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! 😊
#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...❤
Thank you! 😊
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❤
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!
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! 😊
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!
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.
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 :)
A good reminder of the different card styles. I’ve done most of them already. All very fun to make. Thank you for this. 😁❤️😘👏
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!

AWESOMENESS!!! so good to review all the ways that you can make a card!😊
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.😊
Great job.

This is an awesome video! I love interacting cards. I've just begun to look into the book-style card. So happy to learn abt. it here.

They are all great card designs, but the book style trifold was my favorite! Thanks for the tips!
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😊
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.
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.

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!
I really like the aperture card that spins! Easier to mail than shaker and multiple fold cards that can be bulky! Great video!
So many great ideas, but the book style trifold is my favorite! I’m already designing cards in my head!
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.
I wish I had seen this video 10 years ago so I would know how to do all these cards! Fantastic tutorial! Thank you! ❤
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.
Thank you so very much for the step by step instructions on making the different card shapes.
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.
I LOVE them all but my favorite are Gatefolds and Z Folds! Thanks for showing them all off!!!
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 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.
OMG! I want to try them all but the z-fold trifold card is definitely a favorite!🎉
Awesome! I stopped buying cards when I got my Cricut. This video gives me even more ways to create cards! Thank you!
That bookfold card is gorgeous! I’m definitely going to try that one. Definitely my fave…so far. Lol
I love the gate fold and Z fold cards!! Thank you for sharing all the various folds!!❤
I am new to cardmaking. I love all the ways you have shown to make cards in this video. Thanks so much!!
Aperture is my favorite. So versatile and full of fun surprises!
Love all of them. Thank you for the step by step folding instructions. I hope to try the z-fold that is angled, and the aperture card soon.
This is an awesome video! Thank you for sharing it. My favorites are the aperture and the trifold. So unique!
Thanks for the tutorial with clear measurements for cutting and scoring! Time to utilize different folds to “shape” up my cards!
Wonderful tutorial. Very concise and easy to follow. Thank you so much!!
What a great go-to video for all the basic folds. Thank you.
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!
❤ thank you for a well done video. Everything is explained clearly, and she took her time! I'm saving this one so I can keep going back.
Great tutorial! I love a slimline card. It really allows you to stretch your art.
I enjoyed this video - so many "folds" to choose from. I would like to try the Zfold-trifold card soon!
I love watching your videos. I'm new to card making and have learned so many things from your channel. It is so hard for me to pick my favorite. Since I'm new and all. But thank you for the education love your channel ❤❤❤❤
TY so much for this video. I really like to make Z-fold cards b/c they're not so ordinary. Great for display!
