• Pleased as Punch Cards kit to go; bright and springy!

  February 6, 2020

  I absolutely love these cards! All of the 5 designs are unique fun fold cards which are always a delight to create and fun for the recipient.  Here's a photo of the Pleased as Punch designer paper; available now!

• Pleased as Punch fun fold card

  February 5, 2020

  ---

  I made this card for a recent online swap I participated in.  I believe this type of fold is called a 'Joy Fold' card.

  The Pool Party piece is folded in half; the bottom part is under the front flap of the White layer.  See measurements below.

  I chose to use the brand new Pleased as Punch designer paper seen here.  It coordinates with FOUR of our current punches – amazing!  The two hearts on this card are punched directly from the designer paper.
