Carousel Square and Star Fun Fold

If you like interactive and fun fold cards, check out what I am sharing today. I have the Carousel Square and Star Fun Fold. I bet many of you will flip to your following email or go on with your day cause you think this is too complicated…Well, I have some news for you. This fun fold is accessible on a scale of 1 to 10, and 10 the easier, I would say this is an easy 7.

The square one, I was inspired by my friend Tami, and while creating the card, I tried that extra panel and BOOM, I have a Star Carousel! They are so much, and I am sure they will amuse the one that will receive them.

Video How To Create The Carousel Square and Star Fun Fold.

In the video, I have how to prep and assemble to create both of the carousel cards. The star and the square carousel are identical, except the star is an extra panel. Measurement and template below.

Template and Measurement For The Star and Quare Carousel Card

The one on the left is the star. It has five panels and the one on the right, I call the square, has four panels

For the best result, see the video on how I score and cut the panels.

Square Carousel

4 of 6 x 6 score at 3″ top and side and one diagonal halfway and cut; see the video.
10 of 2-¾ x 2-¾ Designer Paper for the top panel (you can vary prints, or you can use white or vanilla reg. card stock if you wish to have a box to write, all optional)
4 of 2-¾ x 2-¾ Designer Paper fold or cut diagonal.

These carousel cards are very thick, so if you add a layer of cardstock to write and maybe stamps, I strongly recommend the white or vanilla regular because they are thinner than the color cardstock.

Star Carousel

5 of 6 x 6 score at 3″ top and side and one diagonal halfway and cut; see the video.
12 of 2-¾ x 2-¾ Designer Paper for the top panel (you can vary prints, or you can use white or vanilla reg. card stock if you wish to have a box to write, all optional)
5 of 2-¾ x 2-¾ Designer Paper fold or cut diagonal.
2 of 10″ ribbon (2 of 1 x 2-½ cardstock) if you choose to do the closer with ribbon

Square Carousel With One Horse Open Sleigh Designer Paper

The base is Misty Moonlight cardstock. The designer paper is all prints from the Online Exclusive One Horse Open Sleigh.

Star Carousel With Earthen Elegance Designer Paper

Bottom cut diagonal *Easier to assemble when cut in half.

I added some of the die cut from the Earthen Texture but noted that I didn’t use dimensional to keep it close properly and recommend not using dimensional, glue, or glue gots for all elements.

What designer paper will you use to make your own?
