FRIDAY MEANS THAT IT IS TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD

Today I have a Book Fold Card to share with you.

I also included a gift card pocket inside the card to make it perfect to send to a friend for a special occasion.

Using Misty Moonlight card and some of the Designer Series Paper, I created this Book Fold Card.

The greeting was stamped onto some Basic White card that was then cut using one of the tags from the Peaceful Earth Dies.

After placing the tag on the card front, I wrapped a length of the Misty Moonlight Silver Edged Ribbon around the book fold edge.

I attached a bow to the wrapped ribbon before adding some Hues of Blues Flowers embellishments.

I added a strip of the DSP on the card insert.

Then I used the tag die to create an opening, in a pocket, to create an opening to insert a gift card.

The projects I have shared with you this week were so much fun to create – some were made using instructions from the Creativity Now event and the others have been my own.

It has been a great week. I’m not sure what I have in stall for next week but I am hopeful that you will enjoy what you see.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY HAS ARRIVED

Each Friday I enjoy sharing a Fun Fold card.

Today I have a variation of a Trifold Easel Fun Fold card that was inspired by the ‘pop up’ large butterfly die from the Beautiful Butterflies Dies.

I started with a 12″x 12″ Basic White card that I cut to 5 3/4″ and then scored at 4″ and 8″.

The largest butterfly die in the collection (top right) is designed to cut an upper butterfly layer on a card that flips up leaving a ‘full’ card back.

For this card I cut the butterfly card front although I did not cut away the card around the butterfly.

I cut a piece of Balmy Blue card to add to the card front around the butterfly shape. I also cut a Balmy Blue bokeh butterfly to attach to the butterfly flap.

The front of the card is quite simple. I did colour some Iridescent Faceted Gems with the Dark Balmy Blue Stampin’ Blends pen.

I cut a second bokeh butterfly and placed it inside the first inside layer. This layer folds out to be the bottom of the Easel card.

I cut a third butterfly and placed it in the same place on the ‘inside’ layer.

The third panel had a panel of Balmy Blue and Basic White card added so that someone could write their message to the recipient.

This insert had a splatted image stamped on it twice. The back of the envelope was also stamped with the splatter images.

Finally the greeting was stamped and die cut. After positioning the greeting, as the easel card anchor, I added some coloured Iridescent Faceted Gems.

I’m not quite sure what I will have for you next week but I’m sure that it will inspire you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

HELLO FUN FOLD FRIDAY

My Fun Fold card today is a SIDE STEP CARD and it has been quite a while since I last made one.

I am continuing with my Mother’s Day theme this week and have decided to feature the Celebratory Sips Suite Collection.

The Side Step card base was made using one of the new 2025-2027 In Colours, Timid Tiger.

I also used some of the Cloud Cover and Secret Sea cardstock.

After adding the card and DSP panels, I added Adhesive Sheet to some Timid Tiger card and cut ‘mum’ using the Mini Alphabet Dies.

I enjoyed fussy cutting all the colourful drinks and layering them across the side step card.

The ‘cheers’ greeting was stamped and cut using one of the banner dies from the Stylish Shapes Dies.

The card insert and back of the envelope were both decorated with a fussy cut drink.

This soon to be released collection of products is going to be so much fun to create with.

The final touch was to add some of the Crushed Curry Adhesive-backed Dots for Days.

Next week I will have more inspiration to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

If you live in Australia, you can order any of the products I used to make this card by going to my online store. As you read through this post, you will see the products I used for this project. The new items are available from May 6th.
