If you want a card with a wow factor and a minimum of stamping then this is the card for you. The designer paper is not only on the two front panels, the green with gold accent leaves are die cut from the paper pack. Add some die cuts in Garden Green, Mossy Meadow an Gold to really jazz up the card. The only stamping on the front is the word Merry. Add a stamped sentiment and die cut image from designer paper to inside to finish up your card. I don't know what this fun fold card is called, It is a Z fold with a side flap.
