An easy double flap fun fold layout with Pretty Prints DSP. A video, measurements and a gift card option!

I love fun fold cards that stay closed AND are easy for the recipient to figure out.  This double flap fancy fold card is just that!

Save

We made them on Monday night's Stamp with Me Live.  You can watch the video here. 

Save

These cards feature the Pretty Prints designer paper seen here.  It's NEW in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  There are multiple prints all in these 4 colors – Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay and Evening Evergreen.  

Save

I used two stamp sets here; both new in the new Annual catalog.  Good Feelings seen here and Botanical Layers seen here.  

Save

One of my favorite things about this fun fold layout is that you can choose to fold or trim it off at the 1 1/2" mark.  Folding it inside creates a pocket for a gift card.  Trimming it off shortens it.  Your choice!  Or make a few of each like I did.  

Save

The die-cut butterflies from Brilliant Wings dies add a pretty touch to these botanical cards. The lower butterfly is added just beyond the outside corner flap to anchor it closed.  So easy and keeps the card laying flat.

• Beauty of Friendship Fun Fold card

  May 25, 2021

  ---

  Finally I can share this beautiful fun fold card we made at my May Card Clubs!  

  I like to wait until after all of my Clubs are held so I can surprise them with the cards we're making.  I'm not sure why; it's just a habit now after many years of doing it that way!  

  I chose to use the Beauty of Friendship bundle (seen here) to make this unique 'Latch fold'. 

  Save

  I chose to use a few of our new In Colors; So Succulent & Evening Evergreen along with Pool party.  It sure created a pretty, almost monochromatic card.  Everyone sure loved it; which is always my goal!

  Save

  This fold is very deceiving but so simple!  Just a little trick at the end to put it all together.  Watch the video below!

• Pretty Perennials ‘Happy’ card with video

  May 24, 2021

  ---

  I wanted to use the Pretty Perennials bundle for my April clubs and I found a card like this on Pinterest.  I love the fresh color combination of Daffodil Delight, Smoky Slate and Calypso Coral!

  Save

  The Perennial dies were used here along with a few others; the recently retired Stitched Shapes and the Stitched So Sweetly dies.  The pretty embossing folder is the Dainty Diamonds and I'm sad to say it did retire last month. 

  Here's the Pretty Perennials bundle.  This did not make it in the new Annual catalog and is retiring next month and it will be while supplies last.  

  Save

  I love this set for the flowers but the greetings are the star in my opinion.  There are so many ways to use the 'happy' with the rest of the words.  My favorite is 'Happy Mail'.  Who wouldn't love getting a card with that saying?  It could also be stamped on the outside of your envelope as well.  

  Save

  For the inside I used an oval die-cut and added a fun greeting from the Happiest of Birthday's set. 

  Save

  
  I made a quick video on putting this card together.  You can see it below.

• Pretty is the word for the Hand Penned suite!

  May 21, 2021

  ---

  This is one of the first cards I made with the Hand-Penned suite.  I chose to use the Soft Succulent card base with Fresh Freesia and So Saffron accents. 

  Save

  That pretty paper is called Hand-Penned Designer Paper seen here on page 131 of the new Annual catalog.  It features so many soft, beautiful colors. People are loving it so much I will likely feature it for a kit to go in June. 

  Save

  I used the Painted Labels dies for the neat circle die-cut and the Fresh Freesia scalloped trim is from the Hand-Penned Petals Bundle.  Click here to see the bundle.

  The greeting and flower images are from the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.
