Balloon Festoon surprise slider card with video tutorial

I shared this CUTE card on last week’s Live video. We made it at my May card clubs:

It features the Balloon Festoon bundle seen here and the Beautiful Ordinary Life designer series paper. Both are in the 2026 May – August catalog by Stampin’ Up! They pair up wonderfully together!

It might look like a simple fun fold card but look how it opens:

The inside greeting layer slides out when you open the front of the card. It’s super easy! Watch the video below to see my tips & tricks on this card fold.

My colors include Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, White & Daffodil Delight. I used the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP as a guide.

Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here. Feel free to download it to print or save in your files for later.

Below is the video tutorial; I hope you watch it! There’s a second card I share as well; I’ll feature that project in tomorrow’s post.

• Gather Together Tag Punch Fun Fold

  October 16, 2020

  ---

  Check out this fun fold card Deloris made for a recent Team swap.  Our theme was fun folds from the 2020 Holiday catalog. 

  She used the Gather Together bundle seen here and the Scalloped Tag Topper punch seen here.

  Her colors are Cajun Craze, Pretty Peacock, Early Espresso & Sahara Sand.  The tag punch is pushed in to create the design on both edges and then the sides are trimmed with a paper trimmer.  A really lovely design!  

  I'll be sharing more of my Team Fun-fold card swaps next week!
