Fun Folds · Sympathy Cards

Softly Stippled Belt & Buckle Fun Fold Card

I learned a new fun fold today from a U-tube video by Kristina Rees. So of course, I had to CASE it. Today’s card is made with a free Sale-a-bration product – Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper. I love this paper! It’s pretty, in soft mellow shades of Calypso Coral, Pebbled Path, Lost, Lagoon, Pool Party, and Wild Wheat. There is a coordinating bundle (Stippled Roses) in the latest mini catalog as well.

I chose to use pebbled path as my primary color choise since this is a sympathy card. I sponge daubered Lost Lagoon on the leaves and Moody Mauve on the roses. The punch, the stamped image on the hexagon and the front card sentiment are from the Heartfelt Hexagon Bundle, page 12 of the MC. The interior sentiments are from the So Sincere and Layering Leaves stamp sets.

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Please let me know if you would like cutting directions/demensions for this card. I’ll happily post them. Happy Stamping! Donna

Trusty Tools Pop-Up Gate Birthday Card

There is so much going on at Stampin’ Up! right now. A brand new mini catalog (MC) went live on January 4th, along with Sale-a-bration.

#Fun Fold

Birthday Bookbinder Easel Card

If you like fun fold cards, but are afraid they are too difficult to make…then I have the card for you. The bookbinder easel card is SO easy to make, you will love the results the first time making it. I made this card for my sister-in-law’s birthday. I used some retired Dainty Flowers DSP and a combination of Stampin’ Up! products. I love using and thinking of various out of the box ways to use multiple products. I hope I give you new ideas of how to use your products as well.

If you would like a tutorial on how to create this card or other fun fold cards you would like to see, please leave a comment.

As always, Happy Stamping! Donna 🙂

Inked Botanicals Flip Top Fun Fold Get Well Card

Happy July 5th! Today I am sharing a get well card I recently gave to a friend. I used the very lovely Inked Botanicals Suite from Stampin’ Up! This suite is beautiful! The colors are Summery, fun and happy. It’s also a flip top fun fold! I paired it with Something Fancy dies to make the cute tag. Sentiments in the card are from the Layering Leaves and Hope & Prayer stamps sets from the current catty. I also used the wishing you a speedy recovery from the now retired Speedy Recovery Stamp set.
