I shared this super cute fun fold card on last week's Live video. It has lots of layers but it's so easy to make!

Save

Besides the bright, happy holiday colors in the Take a Bow DSP I love that this fun fold uses your cardstock efficiently. Each diagonally cut card base is one half of an 8 1/2" X 11" sheet of CS. I forgot to take a photo of this aspect but I do share it in the video seen here.

Below is a photo that shows how it opens and the pocket available for the optional gift card.

Save

My colors include Real Red & Garden Green with White. The diagonal layers are also easy to do. Start with a rectangle and cut it in half on the diagonal making sure you cut it to match the diagonal.

My greeting & White die-cut is from the Christmas Labels bundle which is on the Last Chance list right now. See it here.

The Red die-cut is from Greetings of the Season dies and the pine bough die-cuts are from the Winterly Tree Tops and made from the Festive Glimmer paper.

Save

I added a double bow made from Red & White Baker's Twine and Peppermint dots that are currently unavailable but will return at the end of December. *They are NOT on the Last Chance list so they should be available for awhile!

Below is the video I made for this card and another super quick fun fold card. Both of these make great use of your designer paper! I hope you watch and make some.

Poetic Expression fun fold swap card

March 22, 2024
Last week I shared this image on Facebook. It was a bit of a tease to guess what the finished card would be like.

Save

It has Pool Party, White, Lost Lagoon and some Poetic Expressions designer paper (retiring in April).

It also shows the greeting die-cut from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid embossing folder seen here. I feel like it makes my greetings extra special. They're a pretty font and give texture and dimension to your projects. (I shared how to use this folder here in a video.)

Save

And that is the finished card. I made 12 of these for an organized fun fold swap. I am a huge fan of monochromatic cards and these colors are at the top of my favorites list.

The tag is from the Something Fancy dies seen here. I love the many label & greeting shapes this set has.

Save

Here's the inside view.

Measurements are so simple! Once you cut off the end of the card front you flip it 90 degrees and use it as the front layer.
- Card base – 11" X 4 1/4" score at 5 1/2"; cut off one end at 2 3/4"
- DSP – 1 piece at 2" X 4", 2nd piece at 4" X 3"
- Inside White 5 1/4" X 4"
Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Simply Zinnia set seen here.

Last of the WOW Amazing Team swaps

March 21, 2024

Last week (and yesterday) I shared many of our March Online Exclusive Team swaps and today is the last set.

This first card was made by Jacki who featured the Encircled in Nature bundle. You can find it here in the Online store.

Save

Count the dies used here; she is never one to keep it simple! Her colors include Pecan Pie, Shaded Spruce and Early Espresso.

The card is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Then she scored the front from bottom center to the upper left. And she added layers; two layers including the A Little Latte designer paper.

It opens as a stand up Easel card. Isn't it fabulous?!!

Save

She also used the Sweetly Scripted stamp set seen here. It's unavailable right now but should be back. No date is known at this time. She used the double oval punch to hold up the easel layers. What an amazing card!

~~~

Next is a sweet card made by Sharon who chose the Fluffiest Friends bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Wild Wheat, White & Old Olive. Lots of texture here with the Exposed Brick and Cane Weave 3D folders.

I hope you enjoyed their creations. I love seeing their styles and creativity!

Pretty Team card swaps you don’t want to miss!

March 20, 2024

Today I'm continuing the March Team swap shares. Our theme was Online Exclusives and wow; did they show these products off!

First is a stunning card made by Jonna who chose to feature the Magnolia Mood bundle seen here.

Save

Her colors include Bubble Bath, Pebbled Path & Lost Lagoon. Her floral image is colored amazingly! She added a loop of the Bubble Bath ribbon and underneath the flower is a die-cut from the bundle. Her embossing folder is the Softly Sophisticated that is retired now.

Save

Next is a fun fold card made by Paula. She featured the Friendship Royalty set seen here.

Save

This set and the Bright & Beautiful designer paper are not in our Online Exclusives but in the Annual catalog. She folded back the front fold 1" and added Bubble Bath CS to it. The front dies are from our Nested Essential dies seen here.

Here's the inside view which I love!

Save

That wand she created to add over the swirly stars image is genius! I just love her creativity!

Stop in tomorrow to see two more of our March Team swaps. You don't want to miss them!
