Let’s create four fun folds that have square card fronts as part of their design. Squares are visually appealing because of their symmetry. Putting a large square on a card front directs our focus to whatever focal point we put in the square. And when we combine a square card front with an easy fun fold we create so much excitement! All supplies used in today’s projects are linked below.

Here’s Your Homework 😉
- Watch my video tutorial, Papercrafting Playdate 142, to learn how to use square card fronts on fun folds.
