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.

• Everyday Details Fun Fold card

  January 2, 2024

  ---

  I hope you enjoyed your New Year's weekend. We had a nice 3 day weekend with no plans at all. My husband was in the mood to clean and organize so we did lots of cleaning, boxing up donated items and taking down outside Christmas lights.

  Plus we made some fabulous meals, put together a puzzle and watched some of our favorite shows. I love a relaxing yet productive weekend! 

  ~~~

  This is one of the swap cards I made last month.  I joined 6 swaps and had to make around 18-22 of each.

  It features the new Everyday Details bundle and the new Rock & Roll designer paper. Both are new products in our upcoming 2024 Spring catalog – it goes live on Thursday, January 4th!   

  I stamped the nest image on one of the die-cuts in the bundle and the greeting on another.

  I thought I'd share the event we held on December 16th. My local friends and I held a big fundraising Holiday Bazaar to benefit a few local non-profit organizations.

  It was held at our church and as you can see it was jam packed with fabulous handmade crafts & goodies. We offered tons of crafts, gifts, handmade cards, baked & home-canned goods, cookie trays & more.  Plus we had a silent auction, vendors and lunch! 

  It was a great success as we raised over $3200 for our charities! It was a fun-filled day and the time & effort was well worth it to support our local non-profits.
