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?!
Cut Dimensions for the Playing In The Rain Fun Fold 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″)

This month’s kit-to go features the Hello Harvest Bundle and the Rustic Harvest Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! July-December 2022 Mini Catalog. One of the cards is this Hello Harvest Fun Fold card. The fun fold is the book binding fold variation has been rotated so that it opens from bottom to top. Since I choose one of the black and white designer series papers as my base layer, I decided to keep the pumpkin white and bring in additional color by coloring the floral spray for the top of the pumpkin. I think it was a great choice! What do you think?

This week, I am sharing another card from the recent All About Tulips Class. It’s a Windmill Side Panel Step card. This is a fun card to make and though it looks complicated, it’s not. The only stamping is the sentiment. The remainder of design elements include the Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and die cuts! You’ll find all the components for the windmill in the Windmill Fields Dies. After prepping the materials, the assembly only takes a few minutes so it’s one of those projects where you can plan to make card multiples. Just cut the extra pieces and have everything ready to assemble at once. You’ll find the assembly video for the Windmill Side Panel Step Card and the project material dimensions below.
I hope you have fun creating this windmill and tulip inspired card. The Simple Suite Stampers are featuring Heart & Home Product Suite this month so in my next post, I’ll be sharing a project using the suite. Plus, I’ll have details on how you can get this month’s tutorials. Be sure to subscribe to receive my posts so you won’t miss out on the latest project ideas!
