This quick Fun Fold design makes the most of your double-sides Designer Paper!


Have you ever made a card that surprised you with how easy it was and amazed you with it's simple beauty?  This beautiful card did that for me: 

I chose the Symbols of Fortune suite which includes the Crane of Fortune stamp set and the Symbols of Fortune specialty DSP that is on sale right now at 50% off!

Other products include the Hippo & Friend dies (retired now), the Layering Circles dies and the 1/4" white seam binding ribbon.

Here are the simple measurements: 

  • Black card base 5 1/2" X 5 1/4" scored at 1" on the 5 1/4" side 
  • DSP 3/4" X 5 1/4" strip & 4" X 5 1/4" for the front flap
  • White inside is 4" X 5 1/4" 

See how it shows off the other side of your Designer Paper?  I love it!  Think how many pretty cards you could make with this layout and use up your designer paper too! 

See the Symbols of Fortune suite here; it will retire when the list comes out at the end of May.  

Here's another version with the new Hues of Happiness designer paper and the Happiness Abounds stamp set.  

My card base is Granny Apple Green and the greeting is stamped twice; once on the Label Me Lovely punched piece and again on a strip of Melon Mambo CS. 

This paper is so gorgeous I decided to feature it for one of my Card kits to go this month.  See the PDF tutorial option here. This fun fold card is included in the tutorial!

  • Inlaid technique video with Mountain View!


    This gorgeous card was one of our January Card Club projects.  Of course I love the colors of Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green and Pretty Peacock. 

    I cased the idea from Cheryl Miller at Sense of Whimsy. 

    Here's how to make this pretty card. 

    1. First die-cut two trees from the main White panel one on the upper left and one on the lower right.
    2. I sponged one of these die-cut white trees with Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple ink for the center tree. 
    3. Then die-cut two more trees from the Lily Impressions designer paper (free with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration).  
    4. Adhere the White panel to the Coastal Cabana panel and then to the main Green card base. 
    5. Insert the two die-cut trees into the left and right die-cut areas for an inlaid effect.  (I recommend Fine Tip glue or Multipurpose adhesive)
    6. There's a trick to getting this unique greeting shape with the Tailored Tag punch.  I share it on the video below. 
    7. I used the Sending you Thoughts stamp set and heat embossed the greeting. 

    Watch the video below for many more tips on creating this fabulous card.

  • Over the Moon Fun-Fold card


    My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month.  Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month.  They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!  

    It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.  

    Isn't it cute?  It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

    The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here.  Aren't they perfect?!!!

    Measurements:

    • Black back – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2", bottom front 2 3/4" X 4 3/4" scored at 4 1/4", front panel 3" X 4 1/4" stitched rectangle
    • Real Red 2 5/8" X 4" stitched rectangle
    • White front 2 1/4" X 3 1/2" stitched rectangle, lower front spotted, stamped panel 2 1/2" X 4"

  • Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!


    These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

    The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here. 

    I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping.  After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer.  Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card.  Easy! 

    The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape.  See the detail on the dies here?  Gorgeous! 

    These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay.  I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too.  That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.  

    These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last.  Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.
