November is here and it’s not too early to start thinking of Christmas cards. Last month’s card class theme, All About Christmas, celebrated the upcoming season. One of the cards from the class is a beautiful fun fold card featuring the Sentimental Wishes Bundle. Not only does this card feature the bundle but it also highlights the gorgeous Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP). See the stocking and bow on the card front, it’s die cut from the DSP. I am giving you fair warning – you’ll be cutting lots of pieces for layering! But it’s the multiple layers that make this fun fold even more special. So, my suggestion is to cut multiples of the layering panels for several cards at once. If your time is limited, you’ll have everything prepped to assemble at your leisure.
You’ll find an assembly video and the cutting dimensions below the card’s photo.

Presenting a double box fun fold card using products in the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection. This is project four of Christmas in July 2024. The Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection is an Online Exclusive product from Stampin’ Up! Using the coordinating two stamp bundles in the suite along with the gorgeous Seasons of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper makes it easy to create a beautiful card. The double box fun fold card design is perfect, especially for special cards. The design allows recipients to easily stand the card for display. Even better, the card folds flat allowing it to be inserted into a basic envelope for mailing.
Adding a cardstock panel to the card back allows for additional sentiment and signing of the card.

It’s been a month since last posting! Where has time gone? Even though I haven’t taken the time to post, it doesn’t mean that I’ve not been crafting. Actually, I’ve been spending more time crafting than doing lots of other things. So today, I decided it was “computer time” and I’ve been busy outlining my posts for the next few weeks.
Now on to today’s card! It’s a book fold card featuring the Perennial Lavender Product Suite. The product suite features two stamp/die bundles – Perennial Postage and Painted Lavender. In addition, the suite features the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and two different embellishments. For the February monthly card class, the cards all featured products from the suite. In addition, word sentiments from the Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder was incorporated on several of the projects. In the assembly video below, I also demonstrate how to use the hybrid embossing folder along with recreating the card.

Hey stamping friends, today’s card will have you smiling! It’s a cascading fun fold card featuring the Little Monkey Bundle from Stampin’ Up! The card is one of the feature cards from the August 2023 focusing on different fun folds. The fun fold features each monkey from the stamp set on a different cascading panel. For the sentiment, the masking technique is used to continue the sentence onto the adjoining panel. If you want to learn how to recreate this little monkey cascading fun fold card, be sure to watch the video.

This week I am featuring a cheerful fun fold card using the Playing In The Rain bundle. The recent class focused on Playing In The Rain Bundle and this is one of the cards participants were able to create. Isn’t that bunny cute! Though the stamp set includes the bunny, this bunny is from the Rain or Shine Designer Series Paper. A coordinating die from the Playing In The Rain dies makes it easy to cut the bunny shape. More of the designer series paper is used for the background prints on the card. Who doesn’t like a cheerful card?!

Mango Melody Cardstock (Base: 4-1/4″ x 11″, score at 2-3/4″ and 5-1/2″; 3″ x 4-1/4″; scrap for kite die cut)
Rain or Shine Specialty Designer Series Paper (floral print – 2 pieces cut 2-1/2″ x 4″; checked print 4″ x 5-1/4″ for interior; 2-1/2″ x 6″ for envelope; bunny for die cut)
Basic White Cardstock (2 pieces 2-3/4″ x 4″)
