NEAT Center Pop-up Fun Fold card with video & free project sheet


I hope you're enjoying your holiday weekend.  We are having a quiet one at home, getting yard work done and also enjoying time off together. We've had lovely rain lately. The grass is green and I hope my garden takes off once the weather warms up a bit. 

On last week's Live I made a super neat fun fold card.  This photo shows the card front which starts out as a gatefold card. 

I chose the Wildflower Designs bundle because it seems to have everything I like in a bundle – florals & botanicals, lovely greetings and wonderful dies too.  

The designer paper is the Country Woods seen here.  It's currently unavailable as they ran out of stock. But it should be back within a week or so.  That pretty die-cut circle is from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  Love these dies so much! 

Here's what it look like open: 

I was inspired by two of my team members to try this fun fold card layout.  I thought it looked quite complicated but they assured me it wasn't.  They were right!  It was just a few extra score and cut lines. I hope you'll watch the video below to see how it's done.  

The center dies are included in the Wildflower Designs bundle seen here.  All of these patterns are included in the Country Woods designer series paper pack. No wonder it's already sold out!  

 

Compare these cards; I changed both the front and the inside.

    We made these neat fun fold 'matchbook' cards on Facebook Live last week.  They're so neat and really show off your DSP.

  • Rainbow of Happiness in Black & White with a ‘pop’ of color!


    I saw a similar card using the Rainbow of Happiness that was in Black & pink and I knew it would be perfect for my Flowerbug's Team swap this month.  The theme was Black & White with a 'pop' of color.  

    I chose to use Magenta Madness.  It's retiring this month and available here while supplies last.  

    I stamped the three rainbows in Black Memento ink using my Stamparatus. Making multiple cards with the Stamparatus is THE BEST WAY!  There's no guessing with stamp placement.  

    Details:

    • The stamps (hearts, rainbows & greeting) and cloud die-cuts are all from the Rainbow of Happiness bundle seen here. 
    • I stamped 'thank you' on scraps of Magenta Madness and punched it out with our Double Oval punch for the rainbow center. 
    • The designer paper in Black & White is from the All Together 6 X 6" pack seen here. 
    • The gems are the 2021-23 In Color jewels seen here. 
    • The Magenta Madness patterned paper is part of the 6X 6" DSP pack seen here.
