Easter Fun Fold

Have you seen the Welcome Easter stamp set?  The images are just so cute I had to get it.

Aren't they sweet!  And for $27 it really isn't a bad price for those 11 stamps.  You know I love fun fold cards and easy cards and make a lot of them, today I have a fun fold that I haven't made before.  Connie Stewart showed how to make it and I just had to try it.  

I used Smoky Slate for the card base and our Stitched So Sweetly dies for the window and the image panel.

 

Isn't that a cool fold?  There is lots of room for your writing

Yes, it is easy to make and perfect fold any occasion.

Happy STamping,

It's Friday

and the last day of my On to Adventure spotlight.  I love fun folds and this fold Angie Juda was showcasing the other day and I thought it was perfect for this guy card.  

 

This card could be a birthday, graduation, promotion card.  Flip up the DSP and inside 

Simple card that packs some punch, perfect guy card.  Have a wonderful weekend and talk to you need week.  

 

This card is for a very special friend in my life who is celebrating his birthday today.  He loves yellow, gray and white together so of course, those are the colours that I used.  And another Fun Fold card

Yes, that is Daffodil Delight DSP, very bright and cheery.  Flip over the cow and

then flip over the greeting and voila, you are inside the card.

Most Fun Fold cards are easy to make and are that little bit of change that I like to do instead of just a basic fold in the middle card.  They normally use the same amount of paper as a regular card but do make your card stand out from the rest.  Try a fun fold for your next card, I'll bet, you become addicted to them too!

.Happy Stamping,

It's Friday!

Another week, flown by.  The weather has been fabulous, you know me, I love sunshine and heat.  Today a Fun Fold card of course using my favourite set, Over the Moon.

I used the same Fun Fold that I used a couple of weeks ago, when I made that Sloth Get Well card.  I used Pacific Point and  Gray Granite, seem to be gravitating toward summery colours lately.  I will say that I am a fan of the new 6 x 6 DSP packs in the colour families.  Love the patterns that they have, I purchased the Brights pack but all of the packs have the same patterns.  Open the card and

Lots of writing room but not too much so if you can't figure out what to say, write very boldly!

Have a wonderful weekend and stamp a little or a lot!

 

 

Are you like me and waiting

for June 4th and the new catalogue?  I will admit, I am obsessed with Over the Moon stamp set, I just can't stop using it.  When I place my new catalogue order I have a few more sets that I can't wait to introduce ink to.   I think there is something for everyone in the new catalogue, now you may not see what you like on your first run through as there is so much to look at and the layout of the catalogue has changed, but trust me, on your second and third (or even more) things start popping out at you! 

Today I have a card using the same cardstock (Crumb Cake, Whisper White), the same piece of DSP from Share what you Love pack and same image from Over the Moon stamp set again.  But this card is a fancy fold, a couple of extra cuts and scores and it isn't at all like this card

Totally different right?

I am certainly loving this DSP pattern with animals.  Truthfully it was my least favorite sheet in the pack, I had used one single 4 x 6 piece and it was the other side of the paper I used.  Now I love it, and certainly am glad that I have a few sheets of it to play with.  Thank you Angie, for showing this pattern some love and inspiring me to use it.

The card folds up and fits in a standard sized envelope but when you take it from the envelope and stand it up, this is what it looks like from the top, lots of mountain and valley folds that give it that fancy look.

On the back, a perfect spot for adding another piece of Whisper White to highlight the space to write but even if you didn't put the piece there, you have lots of writing room.

Well have a great Friday and a wonderful weekend, and for my American friends, a fabulous Memorial Day long weekend and try to have fun and stay safe.

Happy Stamping,

Center Step Easter

Fable Friends Rabbit is back with another Fun Fold card.  This time it is a Center Step card, again looks complicated but is simply a standard card base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, with a couple of cuts up each side and a couple extra scores and you get this great card that really makes a statement.

Today I used Balmy Blue and Blueberry Bushel together and for the sentiment strip I used March 2017 Paper Pumpkin set, Bunny Buddies.

Here is the side view.

Have a great day and 

Happy Stamping,

A super fun fold

This card is super cute and a totally fun fold.  The card size is standard 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 but the card doesn't open.  The back panel is 4 1/4 x 8 3/8  and then a smaller piece of cardstock, 3 x 4 7/8 , a couple scores, some Tear n' Tape and you have a 3D card.  I am not really sure of the name of this type of fold, but let's just say it is a version of a step card pop up card.

I used the Painted Petals DSP from Sale-a-bration, so perfect for a spring card.

 

And a really bad picture of the back, (sorry, it's already gone in the mail and I didn't notice the super shaky picture) you can see there is lots of room for writing.

And as you see, it folds flat to pop in an envelope. once you lick the flap and close it, the envelope is perfectly flat.

Have a great weekend and hopefully you will get a little "me" time to stamp!

Happy Stamping,

Believe it or not

This is the same fold as yesterday but I just changed the orientation and theposition of the opening card instead of being at the bottom and the card going vertical, I turned the card and added the folded part more in the center.

 

Change the shape of the die cut and you get a totally different look.  The squirrel is from Fable Friends and I layered it onto a Blueberry Bushel Scalloped Square and then layered it again onto another piece of Whisper White.  Open the card

 

and you have lots of room to write.

Happy Stamping,

Hey Love Crocodile

This fun fold was one of the cards we made at my Birthday Class.  Yes, it is a fun fold even though it looks like a regular card

Just open it and you will see

 

 

  Just the bottom opens.

We used the Hey, Love set, see I told you it was more than just Valentine's Day.  perfect for a kid's birthday.

  

Our Blends colored the Crocodile perfectly and the DSP is from Animal Expedition and the Starburst Impressions folder.  The images from Hey, Love are perfect with our Framelits and today, we used the Layering Circles and Stitched Shape dies.   The birthday and inside you are from A Sara Thing, Paper Pumpkin set.

 

Happy Stamping,

Bright Sunshine

Love the brightness of this Lemon Lime Twist and Daffodil Delight card, very spring like.  Again we start with a half a sheet of cardstock, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 and by adding a couple extra score lines you get a totally different fun fold. 

Angie Juda of Chic'n Scratch had this fold on her blog last week and of course, I just had to try it.  Take your piece of cardstock and score at 2 & 3 1/8 on both sides and fold.

I used the Daffodil Delight Gingham Gala paper and then the Adhesive backed sequins from the Gingham Gala suite for the flowers.  Peter is stamped with Black Memento and coloured with my Blends.  If you haven't tried the Blends, you really should, they are fabulous.  At my last class, it was the first time they had used Stampin' Up blends and they were impressed at the ease of blending.  And remember, just like everything else in the Stampin' Up world, colour coordination,   And here is the back, lots of room to write

 

 Yes, the Duckling is fromFable Friends set.
