In Symmetry Fun-fold card with video


I played with the In Symmetry bundle on last week's Facebook Live and wanted to share this neat fun fold card.  I got the idea for it from my good friend Susie Wood.  Here's a link to her card. 

It's a standard A2 size card but the unique fold makes it special.  The nice thing is how easy it is to make!  And it really showcases the designer paper and Pretty Flowers embossing folder I used.  

I chose the Navy, Calypso Coral and Bumblebee color combination because of the colors in the Sweet Symmetry DSP seen here.  The cute Navy leaves are from the Symmetrical Stems punch. I fussy cut the flower.

You can see this bundle here. 

Measurements: 

  • Navy card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4", layer is 2 3/4" X 4 1/4" 
  • Bumblebee 3 3/4" X 5"
  • DSP 2 1/2" X 4"
  • White strip 3/4" X 3 1/2", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
  • Calypso Coral strip is 7/8" X 3 3/4" 

Here's the video from the Facebook Live with two more projects featuring this suite.  If you want to see this card only, scroll to about 24 minutes in.

  • How I made this neat Pop-up Gift Bag Fun Fold card


    We made this fantastic Pop-up Gift Bag fun fold card at my January card clubs. It's such a unique and special way to add a gift card or a little something extra inside a card! 

    I used the Friendly Hello bundle from our 2022 Sale-a-Bration brochure. See it here. It's free with any $100 purchase from my online Stampin' Up! store.  

    Isn't it extraordinary!?  Everyone loved their finished card and most were surprised at how easy it was. Here's a close-up of the inside.

    Below is the template with measurements.  Your best bet is to watch the video below to see how to assemble it and adhere it inside a card.  

    I did turn this card into a fun fold as well with a belly band but you sure wouldn't have to.  It could be placed in the fold of any card you make! 

    The Friendly Hello bundle includes both a full photopolymer stamp set and a package of beautiful 12 X 12" pack of designer paper!  

    The colors include Fresh Freesia, Granny Apply Green Pool Party, Shaded Spruce, Black & Petal Pink.  I chose to focus on the Fresh Freesia & Granny Apple Green for this card. 

    Here are the measurements for the card: 

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2" & 7 1/2"
      White 4" X 4 3/4" & 2 3/4" X 4" plus scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
      Pale Papaya scrap for Hippo & Friends die-cut
      Granny Apple Green 3/4" X 10" scored at 3 1/2" & 7 7/8"
      Friendly Hello DSP for bag – 4 X 9 1/2" scored on the 4" side at 1/2" & 3", and on the long side at 1/2", 4 1/2", 5", 5 1/2" & 9" & DSP for front 3 1/4" X 4" & 1 3/4" X 4"
    • the leaves & buds are punched with the Bough punch seen here

  • Who knew?!


    If someone had told me I'd be doing 8 videos a month 10 years ago I would have scoffed! 

    One of my best friends encouraged me to do videos years ago and I told here I would never, ever do videos.  She loved to remind me about that! *Sadly she passed away a few months ago.

    I've been watching my YouTube subscribers grow and grow and cannot believe that I now have over 15,000 people following me!  Incredible! 

    I get so many lovely comments from my followers; it truly means a lot that you are all enjoying and getting inspired by them.  

    Thank you, THANK YOU!!  You are why I LOVE what I do! 

    If you're not following me on YouTube yet, here's the link.

  • Turtle & Friends Fun Fold swaps


    Today I have a few special fun fold cards made with the Turtle & Friends bundle seen here.  They were for a Flowerbug's Team swap we held last month with an 'Animal Fun Fold' theme. 

    The first card was made by Paula. Her cute card is called a Double Dutch Door fold. 

    I love the rounded corners on her front layer and the sweet background made with images from the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set.  She sponged the sky & grass too.  

    Measurements:

    • Evening Evergreen card base 4 1/4" X 8 1/2" tall scored at 5 1/2", and the lower doors piece is 8 1/2" X 3" wide scored at 2 1/8" & 6 3/8" 
    • White upper stamped layer is 4" X 2 3/4"
    • Lower DSP (Pattern Party host) layer is 1 3/4" X 2 3/4
    • Granny Apple Green inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

    To put this card together you add the scored horizontal piece to the vertical card base and add the inside layer over it. 

    Next is a fun fancy fold card made by Marla.  I'd forgotten about this unique card fold!  It looks like a normal card at first glance. 

    But when you lift the front it reveals this!

    She used the Expressions in Ink specialty DSP in the annual catalog for her card front.  She also used the Hammered Metal 3D embossing folder for the Garden Green strip. 

    Measurements:

    • Garden Green 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" plus a 1 1/2" X 4" piece for the embossed strip
    • Whisper White inside is 3 3/4" X 11" scored at 1" & 6" 
    • Expressions in Ink DSP 4" X 5 1/4" 

    It's so fun to see what my Flowerbug's Team members create; we each have our own style and I love that!
