Exploring fun fold card

This is a super cool card with a pop up surprise when you open the card. I love that we can use some our precious DSP scraps…specially if you are like me and save every tiny bit of them…

I am using the Hues of Happiness Suite, which you can find in the Annual Catalog. I think the minute I saw this suite, I fell in love with it, and have enjoyed working with it. I made 2 other cards using Sale-A-Bration papers and the Mini catalog.

Concertina Fold Card

The Concertina fold is by no means as new fold, but it is definitely one of those folds that I think are memorable. I was a little intimidated at first, but I have to say, it is not difficult to make. Let’s learn together how to make this fun fold. Are you ready?

I am using for this card the Fitting Florets DSP and the Framed Florets bundle. If you have not gotten this product yet, hurry up because the last day to order it is 1/4/23. You really don’t want to miss it.

Hidden Pop-Up Flap Fold

I am back! I went to visit my family for about 15 days… and I have to be honest, I was so busy, between work, getting ready for Thanksgiving and getting ready for the trip. I was not able to keep up with the blog, although I did have my regular lives on Tuesdays… but I was not able to even write the measurements.

Here is the card I made right before leaving… using the Gnomes dies and some stamps form the Regal reindeer stamp set.
