Super neat fun fold card that’s easy with my tips! Free project sheet & video tutorial

You're going to love this neat fun fold card I'm sharing today.  

Save

It doesn't look like much of a fun fold card does it? Look a bit closer to the right pink flap on this card; see how it's sticking up a bit at the bottom? That's where it opens.  

I featured the Sentimental Framing stamp set seen here on the pretty greeting here. 

Save

The layered circles are from the Spotlight on Nature dies and the 2 3/8" circle punch. The leaf die-cut is from the Gallery Blooms dies. My colors include Bubble Bath with Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss.  

Here's how it opens. The horizontal strip holds the right side of the card base closed with a type of 'latch'.

I hope you watch the video below to see how easy this fold is.

• Snail Mail & Pretty Perennials; a cute combo with video!

  January 18, 2021

  Here are the cards I created for Monday night's FB Live video.  It was 'Stamp with Me' night which occurs on the 2nd & 4th Monday nights.  Join me here!

  When I first saw the Snail Mail designer paper I fell in love!  I had absolutely no idea it would be this cute.  Have you found that to be true?  You see things in a catalog and think they're okay or kind of nice. But then in real life you are amazed?!  This is one of those papers!

  This was inspired by a similar card I received in a swap from my friend Dawn Olchefske.  

  Here they are separately:
