Apple Fun Fold

July 1, 2023 | Lisa K

I spent time coloring and creating a fun fold using the Apple Harvest Stamp set. I saw this idea on Pinterest and found it interesting, so I went to the website. Stamping Amore is the person who created the original card I used for inspiration. I used the same stamp and die set, but colored mine differently and used paper that I had.

This card is the standing position so you can see how the pieces are laid out. The front square is attached with black foam squares in the center, where it will not close the panel.

This shows the card laying and all open.

The final photo shows the card closed. It has two basic folds at 4 1/4 and 1 1/4. Then there are several layers of patterned paper making it look like it has several folds.

I used a red card base that was cut and laying close by. The white is Stampin Up Basic White. The checked pattern is from a summer pack by Echo Park. The black plaid/stripe is from another set by Carta Bella.

I enjoyed creating this card. I like fun folds, so finding a new one is always right up my alley.

Fun Fold with Tags

February 28, 2021 | Lisa K

I love fun fold cards. This month the Challenge Your Stash group at Split coast Stampers is to make a fun fold with the color red.

In making this card, I followed a tutorial and video by Connie Stewart: https://simplysimplestamping.com/how-to-make-2-beautiful-greeting-cards-custom-ribbon-accents/

The challenge called for the color red and a fun fold. I used Real Red cardstock by Stampin Up for the cardbase. Inks used are Gina K Designs Red Hot and Kraft as well as Pear Pizzazz by Stampin Up. I used a Scalloped Tag Builder punch for the tags. The stamp set used is called Floral Essence. I enjoyed stamping and creating with Connie.

Double Dutch Fold Card

March 23, 2019 | Lisa K

I have been seeing Double Dutch Fold cards in several places recently and wanted to give it a try. I used a tutorial from Split Coast Stampers along with a blog post and You Tube videos.

Details: SU Blessed Easter for tulip image, colored with Spectrum Noir blender markers. The ovals were cut with Gina K Designs/Thermoweb stitched oval dies along with one Spellbinders Nestability Oval die (the pink one). The cardstock is SU pink, retired. I used a Crafter’s Companion Sparkle pen to give the tulips a bit of sparkle.

The inside is stamp is Joy Clair Easter Greetings. The white cardstock is Crafter’s Companion, cut with a The Stamps of Life Stitched Rectangle die. I used Gina K Designs ink in colors Blue Lagoon, Bubblegum Pink, and Moonlit Fog. The black ink used is Memento Tuxedo Black. The patterned paper is Echo Park Easter Wishes.
