How to Make a Fan Fold Card to Fit a Standard Envelope

Hello! Today’s video is making a Fan Fold Card using gorgeous NEW designer series papers. There are a number of videos on YouTube making a 7 x 5″ version of this card. However, in order to fit in a standard envelope I have re-jigged the measurements.

The purple and orange cards are using Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper, the third card uses the Lovely Garden DSP. Both of these are Online Exclusives. As a result of a false start to my FB Live and then measurements not working as they should, I found an easier way for the small arrow. To see how to make this Fan Fold Card, check out the video below:
