Hi all! I had a request for an Easter bunny card this week and I love a fun fold, too!
This is an older fun fold that works for just about any theme, shape or color combo.
it folds flat and doesn’t use more than the usual amount of card stock than a regular card. And it locks in place to hold the gate fold closed.

I love an ‘old school’ fun fold but with new papers!
This fold takes a little bit more cardstock but so versatile.
I used 3 new designer papers and accessories in 3 different orientations:

Even if you don’t scrapbook the traditional way, you may want to check out the 2-Toned 12×12 Cardstock or some of the Kits (see a video here). I’ll order the cardstock, which is a bit lighter in weight and has a white core (remember Cor’dinations? Maybe it is like that)

Hi all!
This week I revisited a fun fold from ages ago called a Flip Flop card. Any shape works but I used the Fitting Florets oval die for this one along with the Lovely & Lasing bundle and designer paper. It folds flat and into a regular A2 sized envelope.|
I also made another Gnome version for the holidays!
Here is my video:
I hope you give it a try if you haven’t yet!
Gold heat embossing just feels like the holidays for some reason!
I had a request from Sharon in Texas to use the Stampin’ Up Evergreen Border Punch. It’s in the annual catalog, great for nature cards and today, for the holidays!
The white card is only 3-1/2″ white and sits on top of the gold/green card base.  It’s a fun fold of sorts that saves paper, too!
By the way, YES I will be doing a new catalog paper, ribbon and accessories share in January!
I’ll be posting those the week of December 20th!

Hi all!   Someone requested this fun fold and it IS fun to make!
It’s called a Pinwheel Tower Card (or Tower Pinwheel)
It looked complicated but it really was easy to create them in multiple sizes.
(I think I over-explained it a bit in my video but Matt said to go with it, better than Under-explaining LOL)
(There are 3 pages to this PDF)
Here the other samples I showed in my video:
Here is the A2 Sized Pinwheel Tower Card, which folds flat to 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″.
I used the Tidings of Christmas 6×6 Designer paper from the Stampin’ up Annual Catalog.
The column is 4-1/4″ x 4-1/4″, scored at 1″, 2″ 3″ and 4″.
The 4 panels are all 2-3/4″ x 4-1/4″ each.
and here is the smallest one:
This is the Note Card Sized Pinwheel Tower Card, which folds flat to 3-1/2″ x 5″
I used the Sweet Symmetry Designer paper from the Stampin’ up Annual Catalog. The stamp set is called Biggest Wish.
The column is 3-1/2″ tall x 4-1/2″ wide, scored at 1″, 2″ 3″ and 4″.
The 4 panels are all 2-1/2″ x 3-1/2″ each.
I hope you give this fun fold a try!

This week I had fun making THREE fun folds, all with one thing in common.
They are Lock Fold cards (or locking folds), which just means they have a closure on the front to keep them closed.
The printable Recipe/measurement PDFs are located under each card below
SLIDE & LOCK GATE FOLD CARD
The first card is called a Gate Fold Slide & Lock.
Not sure where it originated but I learned it from my talented friend, Cindy Brumbaugh.
(You can see Cindy’s Ice Cream cards Video HERE )
I used the Ornate Garden paper along and added a butterfly from the Butterfly Bijou paper to save time on coloring.
The sliding mechanism is super easy to make and gives a basic gate fold card some extra interest.
ACCORDION LOCK FOLD CARD
This paper is so pretty any way you use it!
It’s from the Fine Art Floral suite and I used the Butterfly Brilliance bundle but you could really
use a heart, a circle, a square….as long as you have the fold down the middle, it works!
SLIDING LOCK CARD
I really love this one! It’s easy to do and really holds the flap down.
I used the Forever Greenery bundle and the soon to be retired Pretty Peacock Cardstock and Ink.
By the way, the Stampin’ Up Annual catalog Retiring List will be out near the end of March!
So if you have the 2019-2021 In Color ink pads and need the re-inkers, I suggest to grab those soon.
Rococo Rose Ink Refill #150089
Seaside Spray ink Refill #150092
(Purple Posy was retired last year-if you need one, let me know)
Pretty Peacock Ink Refill #150090
Terracotta Tile Ink Refill #150093

Go Stamp Something!
I had a request to use those little ladybug trinkets (coming out on January 5th)
from the Dandy Garden suite in the new Stampin’ Up mini catalog.
Scattered on a table, they look a little buggy 🙂 but up close they are kinda cute.
Anyway, Trista emailed me and asked if I could show a card using them.
I thought if I’m putting a bug on a card, it should be useful so I used it as a closure for a
Joy fold card. The smaller card has a right sided fold that pops up all the time,
so the little ladybug really keeps it snug:)
Here’s the video!
(project starts at 5:55)
