3 Flowering Cactus Fun Fold cards with video!

I created these cards on Facebook Live last week using the Flowering Cactus product medley seen on pages 8-9 of the Spring Catalog.  But I purchased the refill kit instead of the main suite because I wanted mostly the paper, twine and felt accents. 

You'll find the video below.  For those of you on Facebook you can see it here.  

I share a FB Live video each Tuesday at 11 am CT.  Join me here!

This fold is called a Joy Fold card; a favorite of mine that is basically two half cards folded into one another. 

The colors are Mint Macaron, Highland Heather and White.   The greeting is from Happiest of Birthdays.  The inside greeting is from Happy Thoughts set in the Spring catalog.

Next is an accordion style card.  I kind of made this one up; trying to use just half of a sheet of card stock for the fold. 

Save

This greeting die-cut is from the Stitched So Sweetly dies and that embossing texture is made with the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.  The greeting is from Simply Succulents stamp set in the Spring catalog. 

Save

Lastly is a super simple fun fold card that shows off your designer paper well; on the front and the inside of the card. *See measurements in the photo below.

The colors here are Mint Macaron, Calypso Coral and White.  The pretty Coral twine comes in the refill kit.

Here's the video for you; enjoy!

  Once you add the layers to the card front you'll use the Classic Label punch to create the window for the latch to catch into.

• Feels Like Frost Fun Fold card

  October 9, 2020

  Check out this beautiful fun fold card made by Annette for our Team swap in September!  Our theme was fun fold cards featuring products in the 2020 Holiday catalog.  

  Save

  She featured the Feels Like Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper and the Life is Beautiful stamp set.  This design is perfect for designer paper with a scene or large pattern.  

  Save

  I like the tag with the pretty Metallic Mesh ribbon.  That ribbon is so soft and it's in 1 1/2" wide but can easily be cut in sections without fraying!  

  Save

  Measurements:

  • Navy card – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 1 1/2" & 4 1/4", tag is 1 1/4" X 3 3/4" 
  • Designer paper from left to right – 5 1/4" X 2 3/4", 5 1/4" X 1 1/8" and lastly on the right is 5 1/4" X 2"
  • Whisper White 5 1/5" X 1 3/4", tag is 1" X 3"

• Christmas Cards kit to go; all Fun-fold cards! Opt in by the 20th!

  October 8, 2020

  ---

  Yesterday I shared the Plaid Tidings cards kit and today I'm sharing my 2nd cards kit to go (I cannot seem to do just one; there's too many fabulous products!).

  I chose to feature the Heartwarming Hugs designer series paper seen below.  It includes a variety of tiny patterns of plaid, stripes, dots, and more in traditional Red's and Green's. I especially like the gingham and stripes.  Oh and the polka dots too!  

  Save

  Look at these cards!  Each one is a unique fun-fold card which is a delight for the recipient.  They're creative & fun but not too difficult for a non-stamper to figure out either.  They include latch folds, pocket, flip, easel cards & more!

  Save

  This pre-cut kit includes $20 in current Stampin' Up! product, all for just $28! Yes; you're getting the 10 cards for just a few dollars when you add in tax & shipping. 

  In your kit to go you'll receive:

  • 1/2 package of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper (6" X 12")
  • 3/8" Red double stitched satin ribbon
  • Red Rhinestone jewels
  • the free pdf tutorial for all 10 cards (valued at $15)

  This pdf written tutorial is available separately at my Tutorial shop here.  It includes step by step directions, measurements, a supplies list and photos.  

  I used the Wrapped in Christmas stamp set on all 10 cards; it's a fabulous holiday set and coordinates with the Warm Wrap dies.  

  Save

  • You have three choices for this cards kit but there's just one left right now.  See two here. 

    • Cards kit & tutorial – $28 (plus $8 Priority Shipping)
    • PDF Tutorial only $15 

  I have two card kits available in October.  You can see the other option here.
