October 8, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday card share!

I created a quick, easy and cute card today –

Pretty cute front!

Really cute inside!

What do you think?

I love how you see both sides of this Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper!

To make the card –

base, 4 1/4″ x 7″, scored at 5 1/2″
DSP, 4″ x 5 1/4″
inside piece, 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″
fold over 1 1/2″ flap
adhere inside piece first
adhere DSP to inside of card leaving 1/8″ border all around
tie ribbon around

How did I create this small, larger pumpkin? I cut three pumpkins from the Halloween Punch, trimmed away the stems and stacked them.

Fun Fold Fridays – Tri-Fold Pocket Card

August 27, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Happy Friday!

I know some of you crafters have Make it Mondays, I think I need to have Fashion it Fridays as I am always creating lots of stuff for the weekend! Lol!

Today, no different. I am sharing a Tri-Fold Pocket card for Fun Fold Fridays! Look how pretty –

And, when the card is opened –

It also has a pull out card for writing or adding a gift card – whatever you like!

The main part of the card is a 1/2 sheet of the Peaceful Prints Sale-a-bration Designer Series paper –

I used a strip 5 1/4″ x 12″ and scored it at 4″ and 8″. Note : watch the direction of your print if it has a direction. You don’t want it to be sideways!

I folded both the panels of the card in towards the middle.

Taking the third panel, I made a diagonal cut scoreline to edge corner, to make the pocket. I secured on the outer side with Tear & Tape adhesive forming a pocket.

The whole card is then placed on a base of 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ Basic White. (This is a 1/4 of a sheet of card stock.)

The lovely sentiment is from the Encircled In Warmth stamp set –

This is a great, versatile holiday stamp set to have in your collection.

To finish off the front of the card, I used the Black & White 1/4″ Gingham Ribbon. It was the final touch the card needed even though my bow is a little wonky, lol!!

Fun Fold Fridays – Double Pocket Card

August 6, 2021 · 4 Comments

Happy Friday!

Time for another great Fun Fold!

This week I am using a fabulous black and white print from Sale-a-bration, the Beautifully Penned Designer Series Paper –

This can be yours FREE with a $50 (USD) order!

Look at this nifty card I made –

It uses only half a sheet of Designer Series Paper! I know you’ve got lots of pattern paper you’ve been hoarding!!! Lol!

The Designer Series Paper is 5 1/4″ x 11 3/4″, scored at 1 3/4″, 4 3/4″, and 7 3/4″. Accordion folded. Adhere to a base of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.

It has two pieces that slide in each side!

The Polished Pink, left, is 3 1/8″ x 4 1/4″. This side would be perfect to add a gift card! You could adhere with a glue dot!

The Basic White, right, is 3 1/2″ x 4 1/4″. I added a strip of color along the back edge to tie in the color.

Really sweet, huh? I did fussy cut the flower from one of the patterns in the paper. It made a nice a focal point.

The sentiment stamps super neat and clean. It is from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.

I think I’ll feature this Fun Fold on my next Card Buffet!

Silver to Silver Elite Blog Hop – Fun Folds

July 30, 2021 · 23 Comments

Welcome to my Fun Fold Friday and to our Silver to Silver Elite Blog Hop!

I have a special treat because today you will see LOTS of fun folds! It’s a Fun Fold Friday Frenzy!!! Lol!

Get in your comfy chair, grab your favorite drink, a snack, pen and paper, and be prepared to pin some ideas and take some notes!

I am sharing an oldie, but goody, Pull Out Fun Fold –

And, when it’s opened –

Isn’t this just adorable??

I am using new products that will be available August 3rd from the Fall Sale-a-bration catalog.

The adorable Counting Sheep stamp set and the coordinating, Sheep Dies are the Sale-a-bration items. Either one can be yours with a $50 (USD, before tax and shipping) order through me! Personally, I’d place an order totalling $100 to get both! The Sheep Dies are while supplies last.

Here is the cutting template for the Pull Out part –

I recommend making a template before cutting into your good card stock. I started with a piece of card stock that was 4″ x 9 3/4″.

As you can see from the above template, place card stock at the 1 1/2″ mark on your trimmer, cut from 3″ down to 7 1/2″. Rotate card stock.

Then make three score lines –

from 3″ down to cut in card stock
all the way down at 5 1/4″
at the 7 1/2″, end of the last cut, score down

Looking at the sample, play around with the fold and score lines. This gets placed onto a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of cardstock.

Here is side view of the card –

I stamped all 3 sheep using the Stamparatus. I used Stampin’ Blends to color them before cutting them out. They stamped perfectly the first time I tried!

I added the fence and multiple clumps of ‘grass’ on the card. The sun and the sentiment are also from the sets.

This card will definitely put a smile on someone’s face! Wouldn’t you agree?

Take notes of what you need, leave me some kind words, then head to the next Fun Fold on our hop!

Fun Fold Fridays – Bendi Card

July 16, 2021 · 2 Comments

Happy Fun Fold Friday!

Today I’d like to share a nifty take on a card I made on Monday and a card I made a few years ago!

I’ve seen this fold called different things, I’ll go with Bendi Card…..here is today’s Bendi Card –

Adorable!!! This would brighten anyone’s day!

I adhered the sentiment to look as though it is floating!

Best if all, it is mailable in an A2 envelope!

Yes, I used the same elements that I did Monday. I decided to have this one as an option on my Card Buffet, so I needed a little easier card.

I started with the You’re A Peach Designer Series Paper because it is on sale currently! There are a couple of all blue patterns that are nice for this card. I liked the stripes.

The clouds we made using the Basic Border Dies –

The stamp set is Sunny Sentiments and it is awesome! One of those must have stamp sets actually!

The Layering Circles Dies made the perfect scalloped edging around the sentiment. Resembles a sun!

Such a sweet card, wouldn’t you agree?

Happy Friday!

Today, I am combining my Fun Fold Friday with this blog hop!

I decided to give a go at the Pinwheel Tower card or the Tower Pinwheel card, lol, ths card –

Here are some pictures of this 4-sided wonder –

All the stamping is from the Party Puffins!

….and, yes, I fussy cut each one!

I have seen several measurements for this card, but I created my own to fit into a regular A2 envelope!

My ‘base’ is 4 1/4″ x 6 1/4″, scored at 1/2″, 1 1/2″, 2 1/2″, and 3 1/2″. You will fold this up like a box with an extra flap ., Cut 3 more flaps at 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″.

I used tear & Tape to adhere the whole thing to keep it together.

The Pattern Party Designer Series Paper was adhered using regular adhesive.

I thought the Scallop Contours Dies made a nice background for the puffins. This is just too cute!

This Pattern Party Designer Series Paper is a host only item, it has been my favorite! And, I guess these Party Puffins have been too as I’ve used them a lot.

And this and that

Fun Fold Fridays – Arrow Fold

June 18, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Happy Friday my stampin’ friends!

Sorry I missed last week. I have a lot going on these days and sometimes something has to take a side seat.

I have seen this ‘arrow fold’ a few times and it has intrigued me. So here is my go at one –

So cool, right!?!?!?!

I thought it would be hard, but it is not! It is soo easy. It starts with a standard card base, 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 4 1/4″. On the front, pencil mark the center at the bottom, 2 3/4″. On both sides, pencil mark at 2 1/8″. Both of the se markings are the halfway points. Score from the middle bottom mark up to the middle mark on both sides. Also score from the middle bottom mark up to the center fold on both sides.

Fold card in half. Fold center score lines towards the inside of the card. The outer score lines fold away. This will create the wings in the arrow.

I used the You’re a Peach Designer Series Paper for my card. I cut it 5 1/4″ x 4″. Watch how your pattern goes when you make this card, you want to be able to use both sides of the paper.

I marked the DSP at 2 5/8″. I cut from that mark up to the top on both sides, giving me an upside down triangle in the middle and two triangles on the side.

Flip the paper to side to like.

Because this was my first attempt, I use a simple sentiment on the front as to not cover up this sweet paper!

The inside still leaves ample room for writing.

Give this fold a go and let me know how yours turns out!

Fun Fold Fridays – Double Dutch Door Fold

June 4, 2021 · 2 Comments

Happy Friday! Actually everyday is a happy day! Especially if you are making something!

Last Friday, I showed a Dutch Fold, today, I’m showing another version of a Dutch Fold –

Now as you start to open the card –

See the nifty two folds? It is soo sweet!

Here are the basic dimensions –

card base – 4 3/16″, scored at 5 1/2
strip is 2 1/4″ x 8 1/2″, scored at 2 1/8, 6 3/8″
DSP for top flap, 3 15/16″ x 3″
2 DSP for bottom flap, 2″ x 1 3/4″

When I recalled this fold, it reminded me of a hug, hence the new dies I chose, Layering Hugs –

After I dies cut the sentiment, I placed in on a Basic White die cut shape from Hippo & Friends Dies.

It paired well with the soon-to-retire Hydrangea Hill Designer Series Paper –

It all just makes for a sweet, thoughtful card!

Laying flat for a different perspective –

Then, fully open –

I’d love to hear wich ‘Dutch’ fold you prefer and why!

Fun Fold Fridays – Dutch Fold

May 28, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Happy Fun Fold Friday!

I’m sharing a classic today, a Dutch Door card!

(Actually, I’ve heard of 2 versions. I’ll share one today!)

When you open it –

It is such an easy card! And, again, one that has no wasted pieces when you cut this style of card.

You start with a regular 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card, scored at 4 1/4″. Before closing the card, cut along the scored line, from the top, down to 2 3/4″. Rotate the card, cut the section away. Save it to use as the front panel! The size should be 2 3/4″ x 4 1/4″. I used Granny Apple Green for my base.

Now, the focal point of this card is the adorable Party Puffins stamp set –

I used the Stamparatus to get a nice crisp, clean, dark image here. The feet and beaks were colored with a Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends and then, yes, I fussy cut these little sweets puffins!

I also used the Stamparatus for the words. I did the hinge stamping technique moving the card stock down to be able to stamp in between the words.

Such a fun card when opened –

I placed the Artistry Blooms Sequins around the front panel for some added interest and to fill in that space.

I forgot to mention, this sweet, fun, bright pattern paper is the Pattern Party Designer Series Paper. It contain 48 sheets, yes, a lot of paper!! It is a host only item. Well worth your selection!

Thanks for stopping by today! I’d love to know what you think of my Dutch Door Card!

Fun Fold Fridays – Open Panel Card

May 21, 2021 · 2 Comments

Happy Friday!

Time to play with paper again in a fun way!

How about an Open Panel Card? Or two –

This is a clever card design because when you cut the pieces for it, you waste nothing!

The card base is 4 1/4″ x 11, scored at 5 1/2″. From one side of the card, cut at 3 3/4″. From that piece, cut another strip at 1 3/4″. You have 1 3/4″ strip at the top, 1 3/4″ for the bottom and the remaining 2″ piece for the vertical, connecting piece on the card. Here are my cuts –

As you can see, I added the pattern paper cuts too. That starts with a double sided piece, 4″ x 4 3/4″ (depending on the pattern) or rotated 4 3/4″ x 4″. Cut strips at 1 1/2″ and 1 3/4. This was a simple version with no added stuff on the panel.This one was stepped up with the ice cream on the panel.Both cards I stamped the same sentiment in the ‘window’.And added the Resin Hearts around it. The more detailed card, the white ones were colored with a Blends to make them match!

Both are adorable and so fun!

When the cards are opened, here is what they look like –You just have to remember where to write on them so it doesn’t show through the window on the front!

Fun Fold Fridays – Pocket Front Card

May 14, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Happy Friday!

I missed last week, thank you for understanding!

Look at this sweet card –

I used the new Sweet As A Peach Bundle to create it –

Such a fun set! And, priced nicely for the bundle!

The way the card is folded, there is a pocket on the front! My card slides into it.

I stamped the peaches three times in Pale Papaya. The stamp creates the shading for you! For the stems, I inked up the leaves in Pear Pizzazz and used a Stampin’ Write Marker in Early Espresso to color the stem. I die cut all parts.

The sentiment is stamped in Early Espresso. It would brighten anyone’s day!

I added the Genial Gems randomly on the card for a little more color.

I followed this nifty Pocket Fold card idea from a Splitcoaststampers tutorial. So, why re-right it? Dina explains it well!

I used the 2021-2023 In Color 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper in Pale Papaya on the flap and the triangles at the bottom.

For my card, I did add the Basic White on the inside and the pocket insert on the front. This is in addition to what’s in the tutorial.

I look forward to creating more of these. They are easy, fun, and a little different from the everyday average card!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this card! Or, drop me. message if you make one!

Fun Fold Fridays – Step Out Panel Card

April 30, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Happy Friday!

Playing with paper as usual! Today, it is Fun Folds!

More specific, a Step Out Panel Card. I made two of each style –

I used the April 2021 Paper Pumpkin, So Cool! I did add some card stock to create each card base!

This picture does not show the included stamp set and Bermuda Bay in spot.

Here, the card base is Old Olive. The pattern paper on all the cards are from the envelopes, the inside liners!

This base is Bermuda Bay. The sentiment circles and flagged strips were in the kit too!

This wider style is soo sweet! Here, this base is soon-to-retire In Color, Terracotta Tile*.

And, here a newer In Color, Bumblebee!

Basic instructions for this beauty are –

card base, 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 1/2″, 1 1/2″, 3″, 4″
front panel, 2 1/2″ x 4 1/4″, scored at 1/2″, 1 1/2″
as you can see the base is folded around to create a box
the insert in front is adhered under the pattern paper and on the front of the pattern paper on the back

Basic instructions for this beauty are –

card base, 5 1/2″ x 8 1/4″
scored at 1/2″, 1 1/2″, 3″, 4″
front panel here was more narrow, 1″ x 4″, scored at 1/2″, 1 1/2″

Both cards I used Tear & Tape to adhere together. The pattern paper was 1/4″ less than the area I covered. I did trial and error to makes these. Although, I know there are tutorials and videos available for this fold.

Additionally, these cards fold flat to fit into a standard sized envelope!

Previously, I made a card similar here. It has more dimensions too! Lol!

Such a fun and alternative way to create with the So Cool April 2021 Paper Pumpkin Kit!

What do you think? Pretty clever, huh?

Fun Fold Fridays – Double Point

April 23, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Hello my Friday friends!

Getting creative with folds today! I’ve got a Double Point fold today with a twist!

And, a view from the others side –

I started with a piece of soon-to-retire, Peony Garden* Designer Series Paper –

I cut it 4″ x 9 1/4″, this way I can get three from one sheet of 12″ x 12″! I scored it at 2″ and 7 1/4″. From the ends, I made 2 score lines from the center at 2″ down, 45°. (I actually used my retired Diagonal Plate for this.)

Here are couple more pictures from the top –

Opened –

Now, my scores and folds make more sense!

The center white piece is 4 7/8″ x 3 3/4″.

For the outer connecting piece, I used the retiring Stitched Nested Labels* –

They are on sale for $28.00, down from $35.00!

The Floral Essence* stamp set was perfect for the sentiment and flower. And, it is also on sale at $10.20, regularly $17.00!

All in all, it would not cost much to recreate this card using these retiring products!

Fun Fold Fridays – Flip Fold Card

April 16, 2021 · Leave a Comment

Happy Friday!

What a dreary ~~day~~ week we are having! Perfect for staying indoors and making stuff!

Since it Fun Fold Friday! I am not going to disappoint today!

I have what seems to be a regular card –

Until you start to open it –

And move the the flaps –

Isn’t this just soo pretty??

I really really love this generously sized magnolia stamp from the Good Morning Magnolia* stamp set –

Sadly, it is retiring soon as well as these matching Magnolia Memory Dies* –

These dies were originally $35, now they are on sale for $8.75! Such a bargain!

This paper is retired, Magnolia Lane Bulk Designer Series paper. It was on the Clearance Rack the other day for a few days. I snagged some and got to creating, then it sold out. Since this is such a great fold and it was already create, I just posted it anyway!

I started with a full sheet of card stock, 8 1/2″ x 11″, scored as if you were making a portrait card, 4 1/2″, and a landscape card, 5 1/2″. Basically a + on the sheet!
