Heartfelt Thanks Fan Fold Card

This card is a sneak peek of Your Paper Insider's Box 13 along with some papers from their Box 12. I have been wanting to try the fan fold for awhile now, and I thought this would be a good fold to showcase the beautiful papers I wanted to use.

I followed a tutorial by Susan Campfield here: Easy Fan Fold Card with Painterly Pears. I followed her measurements and instructions but decided the leftover gold triangle was too pretty to waste, so in my version, I added a triangle to the top right inside of the card. 

All the papers I used for this card are from Your Paper Insider. It's such a gift to be on the YPI DT and to receive these pretty papers in the mail each quarter! If you'd like to learn how to subscribe for your own quarterly box of specialty papers, I'd be so grateful if you shopped with my affiliate link. I earn a small commission at no extra cost to you: Your Paper Insider. Here are the papers I used for this card: from Box 12: Deep Black Cadillac, Violet Thai Unryu, and Royal Purple Curious Skin; from Box 13: Black with Color Florals: Yuzenshi and Bright Gold Gloss Glitter. I also used YPI's watercolor paper for the sentiment strips. Box 13 starts shipping on 10/15/25 and Box 12 will be available for purchase separate from the subscription that same day. 

I decorated the fan fold card with a flower and foliage from Altenew's Mix Foliage die set and then used watercolor paper in my BetterPress with Altenew's One-Go: Solid Sentiments 3 press plate and the coordinating die. 

If you're interested in shopping at Altenew, I'd love it if you used my affiliate link here: Carrie's Altenew Link. Again, I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
