The easiest fun fold I know of is what I call a 'Z fold' card. You make a standard card and add one extra score to the card front. I am in the US so all my card are A2 cards--sorry to my Stampin' friends in other countries.
Starting with an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of card stock you have 2 choices:
1- Cut in half to 8-1/2" X 5-1/2".
2- Score on 8-1/2" side in half at 4-1/4" and half again at 2-1/8"
Or you can cut and score your 8-1/2" X 11" card stock in the other direction.
1- Cut in half to 11" X 4-1/4"
2- Score on 11" side in half at 5-1/2" and half again at 2-3/4"
Fold into a Z-Fold card with the top flap folded back on itself. From here you have many options. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
A die cut element that extends over the folded edge adds interest to your card.
Instead of a punch or die cut, you could add smaller layers to the folded edge.
You could also adhere a full layer to the folded edge, so it looks like a standard card from the front. (Just be sure to only add adhesive on one side of this layer!)
