Shark Frenzy by Stampin UP® Fun fold card

Welcome to my blog today!  I'm so glad you joined me and hope that this card will bring a little smile to you!  

For this card I used the Shark Frenzy Bundle by Stampin Up! I also added in the Whale of A Time Designer Series Paper from the Annual Catalog!  It was perfect for sharks!   

I wanted to do a fun fold card so looked up different templates for fun fold cards and found this one that Lisa Tedder had complied.  After trying it out I have made some adjustments so that it lays better and when folded it doesn't hang out the left side.  

Here's a link to a facebook live I did with step by step instructions!  You may find it a little easier to watch this video if the template below does not make sense to you!  I sometimes need to see it before I understand it!
