Feeling blue never felt so good! Whether you’re making a card, a scrapbook spread, or some other kind of paper craft, this monochromatic patterned paper will surely inspire you.

Time for another Beach Boardwalk project – available from January 6th, 2026.

I have two versions of a simple fun fold card to share with you today.

I used a Bubble Bath card base for this card.

The shades of pink palm trees Designer Series Paper is so gorgeous. I took my time carefully cutting the paper to ensure the pattern aligned perfectly across the card – open and closed.

I wrapped length of Bubble Bath Faux Linen Ribbon around the front DSP panel before creating and attaching two triple bows.

The greeting was stamped onto a Basic White scrap that was trimmed to fit the folded panel.

For the Basic White inside panel I stamped a Bubble Bath palm tree and added splatters of pink to coordinate with the splatters on the DSP.

To finish the card I used the dark Bubble Bath Stampin’ Blend again to colour some Antique Pearls.

For the envelope, I adhered some of the DSP to the back flap.

Now, for a different version of the fun fold card.

This card started with a Pool Party card base before cutting the DSP in the same way I did for the first card.

A 3 1/4″x 3 1/4″ Pool Party square was attached to the first folded panel and then the die cut ferris wheel. I used Adhesive Sheet on the back of the Basic White card to ensure the intricare die cut has great adhesion.

I used some of the DSP to cut the ferris wheel cages and they were attached using Multipurpose Glue.

The greeting was stamped on a scrap of white card and then trimmed it down to a small rectangle.

The inside of the card is decorated with fussy and die cut elements.

Finally, I added some Pool Party Rainbow Dots.

Tomorrow I have a 3D project to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

IT IS FRIDAY & TIME FOR A FUN FOLD CARD & GIFT BOX

My fun fold card measures 4″x 4″ and folds four triangular sides into a closure.

When you see the card unfolded you will see the two lengths of Two Tone card that I overlapped and adhered together.

Each of triangles fold in to ensure the card closes.

All of the internal panels had white card added for lots of lovely Christmas messages.

The card front, insert and envelope have been decorated with the pre-cut elements.

The next project was inspired by Heather Forgan from Stapin’ Nellie.

This fun fold box uses the Happy Banner Dies for the lid, helping to create an interlocking closure.

After creating the card base and attaching the lid, I created the greeting panel. The opening for the Basic Beige Classic Ribbon was made using one of the Hole Punch Assortment punches.

The ribbon was threaded through and the greeting panel was attached using Stampin’ Dimensionals to the left-hand side of the lid.

Thank you Heather for the inspiration!

Thanks for popping by this week to check out the projects I have shared with you.

Next week, I will have some wonderful new projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping and scrapbooking.

FRIDAY IS ALL ABOUT THE FUN OF A FUN FOLD CARD

Today I have a Square Pillar Card to share with you.

It really is an easy card to create and I hope that you make your own version of it.

The card does fold flat so that you can pop it into an envelope but then when you want it to stand, you just need to push the pillar into its square shape.

This is a great card to showcase coordinating designer series papers.

I used three different paper designs for this card.

The right hand panel lifts up to reveal more card – perfect for writing your greeting to its recipient.

The greeting was stamped in Lost Lagooon onto a piece of Basic White card. This was then adhered to a Pretty Peacock panel.

Before attaching the greeting panel, I took some of the leaf and flower card shapes, coloured them and then attached them, as you can see.

Finally, I tied a triple Linen Thread bow and secured it with a Mini Glue Dot.

I hope that you liked this week’s projects.

Next week I have some very special projects to share with you!

In late July I was asked if I would create a 10 minute video highlighting a stamp set for the Demonstrator Plannning Place and was delighted to say yes.

This video was shared with other demonstrators this week and now I am preparing to share these projects with you.

So until next week, happt stamping and scrapbooking.
