Exploring fun fold card

February 28, 2023February 28, 2023 vargasmj21

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.

This card is perfect for the Rain or Shine Suite Collection. If you have been here before, you know I love whimsical stamps and coloring, which makes this set close and dear to my heart. you can find this suite in the new mini catalog.

Hidden Pop-Up Flap Fold

December 10, 2022December 10, 2022 vargasmj21

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.
