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.

Hi all! We had a snow day today here in Western NC, which is a bit of a rarity!
Only 2-3 inches but it was lovely. This week is part two of the Storybook Friends Bundle ( and the whole suite is called Storybook Moments).
I’ll jump right to the video!

A squirrel that sweeps and a badger that knits… only in Storybook land!
I shortened the frame to fit the greeting in their ‘living room’

I was playing around with a faux step card and created this fun fold. It still stands up on it’s own but adds a little interest with the way it opens.

Yes! More arch dies because I do love them:)
This one just cut out the adorable bunny from the designer paper.

Ask my neighbor about chipmunks and he will tell a long story about them getting into his attic, chewing wires, the process of getting them out, and hoping to never see another one again. Ask me and I think they are adorable:)
LOTS of new products arrived this week! Pop over HERE to see them all!

I sure had fun this weekend with this new paper!
I think I stopped at 8 or 9 cards and so I had to divide it up into 2 videos. I’ll post part two next Saturday.

I ended up buying the dies to go with the Storybook paper because of the frames.
The wedding card above was easy to antique the frames with Blends alcohol markers.
The card below on the left is an easel card (see video)

If you only want a little bit of storybook, consider getting just the designer paper!
Two sheets of die cut characters to play with including the other patterned 12×12 designs.
