Noel Tidings fun fold Christmas card with video & free project sheet

Here’s the card I shared on last week’s video; it’s one I made for a long distance card swap I joined.

Save

It features the Neutral Noel suite seen here. I used the Noel Tidings bundle along with the Neutral Noel specialty designer paper seen here. My colors include Shaded Spruce, White and Gold.

Notice the textures on the Shaded Spruce and White layers. These are new embossing folders from the 2026 Holiday catalog; however both are unavailable right now. They’re out of stock but returning later this month.

*Remember that when you want to know when something is back in stock you can opt in to be notified; this is right on the product item page online. See the Rustic Check folder here and the Softly Woven folder here.

This card opens in a unique way; the center panel is attached to the right side instead of the usual left side. It’s fun to switch things up now & then.

I stamped the pine boughs and the greetings using the Noel Tidings stamp set; the dies coordinate with many of the images. See the bundle here.

I shared how to make this card on last week’s video. You can see it here or click on the link below.

I also created a free project sheet with measurements. Click here to download or print it. *Remember that I have a bunch of these free project sheets stored on my blog here.

Below is the video tutorial for this card. You’ll get a few stamping tips from me as usual.

I still have spots left in my Holiday designer paper share. Opt in for it here; it’s the last share I’ll offer this year.

• Hey Chuck Fancy Fold cards! Part 3

  August 7, 2023

  ---

  And today I'm sharing the last 2 projects featuring Hey Chuck.  Annette is one of my talented Flowerbug's and she chose this bundle for her Artist of the Month projects.

  This first project features the Masterfully Made designer paper seen here and it's also a fun fold…

  I love how she added a torn edge greeting; it fits perfectly with this designer paper that has a torn look to many sheets. 

  So here's a clue to her fun fold design:

  Do you recognize this fold? It's called a Pop & Twist fun fold card.  It's not easy to learn; but super cool to give out!  I do not have a video on this fold but you can do a search on YouTube and find many video tutorials.  

  Here's the open view:

  Isn't it cool? She added some soft blended background colors on each layer which makes a huge difference to the finished look.  Isn't that designer paper perfect with this bundle?  

  If you like a challenge you should enjoy making one of these.  I've made a few and honestly I don't plan to make any more!  Ha! 

  Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies are back now and available!

  Next is a fun fold card featuring the Earthen Elegance designer paper.

  She got this fun fold idea from Lisa Curcio.  It has 4 pieces of Misty Moonlight card stock measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8". They're adhered together back to back like this:

  There are 8 pieces of designer paper on each card stock side; measuring 2" X 5 3/8".  The pop-up designer paper on the front and back has a window cut out of it to reveal the rooster image inside; using the same die-cut.  She used the Tailored Tags dies.  This DSP measures 4 1/2" wide X 5". Score 1/2" from each side on the 4 1/2" edge. 

  Here's the back side:

  There's a folded strip of card stock under the White tag that pops it up when opened. I may share one of these cards on an upcoming video soon; it's quite intriguing!  
  

  I hope you enjoyed seeing all of her projects; she did an incredible job! If you want to see details on each one, click here for part 1 and here for part 2.

• Amazing WOW projects with Hey Chuck; Part 2

  August 4, 2023

  ---

  Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  For July Annette chose the adorable Hey Chuck bundle seen here.  I know you'll be amazed at her fabulous projects I'll be sharing. 

  First up today is a stunning framed sampler.

  Just look at her incredible scenes!  I think the bit of blue behind each image sets them off incredibly. 

  Sampler details:

  • She used Azure Afternoon ink and blending brushes to add a bit of blue behind her die-cut rooster scenes. 
  • The designer paper behind it all is the Masterfully Made designer series paper seen here. 
  • She colored the images with Blends markers and popped them up on the squares. 
  • Her 4 white squares measure 2 5/8", colored squares are 2 3/4" and the black are 2 7/8" squares 
  • The black frame is 9" in size; the glass opening is 7 1/2"

  Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies are back now and available!

  She used the Dots & Spots die for her background and that strip of the Masterfully Made DSP is a perfect addition to this card and her color choices. The white on white theme makes the image pop! 

  The dimension she achieved by popping up the rooster and the greeting with Dimensionals makes such a difference to this card.  

  Details:

  • Dots & Spots white layers are 5" X 3 3/4", Pumpkin Pie layer is 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
  • Stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies
  • DSP strip is 4" X 1"

  Next is a fun fold card featuring the Glorious Gingham designer paper.

  She got the idea from Karen Titus.  The DSP is 6" square and you score and cut it to fold in on itself.  Here's what it looks like when it's closed up:
