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.

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!

I created a free project sheet you can print or download for this fun fold card. Click on the following link to get it.  Download Take a Bow November 2024

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.

• Butterfly Kisses fun fold card with Enamel Effects

  September 6, 2022

  ---

  Here's the last fun fold card I made in last week's FB Live video.  Each one featured the Butterfly Kisses designer paper and the Charming Sentiments bundle. 

  Save

  The dots on the pretty die-cut butterfly and circle are made with our new Pearlized Enamel Effects Basics seen here.  It comes in three colors and is so easy to use.  

  You can even make your own removable enamel dots by applying it to excess mini glue dot tape or to our Silicone Mat.

  I used a few sets of dies on this card: Build a Butterfly, Sentiment Silhouettes, Stylish Shapes (stitched circle) & Stitched with Whimsy (stitched frame).

  Measurements:

  • Calypso Coral 5 ½” X 4 ¼”
  • Starry Sky 5” X 3 ¾” plus 2 1/2" stitched circle

• Another easy but fun fold card with Butterfly Kisses

  September 2, 2022

  ---

  Here's one more quick fun fold card idea for you.  The entire front flap of the card is your designer paper!  So cool! 

  Save

  Again I used the Butterfly Kisses 6" designer paper seen here.  It's in the 2022-23 Annual Catalog and so full of fun patterns & bright colorful butterflies.  The butterflies are perfect to fussy cut too!  

  Can you see how the front right piece of designer paper is anchored to just the very left flap of the main card base?  

  Save

  I used the Charming Sentiments stamp set for my greeting and the Stylish Shapes dies for the stitched circle. These dies are currently out of stock but will be back by mid September. 

  The measurements are in the photo below: 

  Save

  I also used the Fun Flower Resin Shapes on the cards too. They are part of the Butterfly Kisses Suite seen here.
