Fun Fold Inverted Diamond – Season of Chic

Today’s fun fold is an inverted diamond on the card front with the Season of Chick bundle from the Annual catalogue. The original design was by Iced Images (non SU). She amalgamated two designs to create this fold as a vertical easel card, but I’ve had to adapt it so it would fit in a […]

Fun Fold Kimono Card – Crane of Fortune

Today I have a fun fold Kimono card with Crane of Fortune. This is part 1 of two Kimono type cards. Many years ago, I saw a sock monkey pyjama card which looked like a kimono on Dawn Olshefske’s blog. She’s an American Demonstrator and had so many requests on how to make it, she […]

pair of hedhehogs quadruple easel card

Quadruple Easel card – Happy Hedgehogs

Today I have a quadruple easel card using the Happy Hedgehogs stamp set. Hedgehogs may be prickly to handle, but they are so cute! The countdown to the end of Sale-a-bration has begun! It finishes on 28 February, and to my dismay, I have yet to use the Daffodil Afternoon DSP. The papers are free […]

Easy Floral fun fold card

Here’s an easy floral fun fold card! I have been eyeing the “Flowing Flowers” stamp set for ages and had to wait till the launch of the catalogue before I could order it! I love Stampin’ Up!’s distINKtive stamps, and Flowing Flowers in the new January-June 2022 mini is quite possibly one of distINKtive sets […]

Unusual card closure – Dragonfly Garden

Eek! It’s the last day of January. Despite the trials and tribulations of another lock down, bad weather, not being able to go out, somehow we have survived it! I don’t know about you, but my passion for paper crafting has kept me sane. Keeping the blog updated, filming and publishing my weekly videos has […]

Pampered Pets Pop Twist mechanism

Pampered Pets – Pop Twist card

Sometimes it’s good to revisit techniques. This fun fold was all the rage about 3 years ago. The stamp set I chose is just perfect for this type of card. The patterned papers in the Playful Pets suite on page 40 to 42 have the most adorable artist’s impressions of cats and dogs. It may […]

Shine Bright – Inverted Diamond Fold

I’m back with another creation using the Shine Bright stamp set and this time it’s a card.  Through the years as a paper crafter, fancy folds stand the test of time and keeps trending at different times getting called different names.  Essentially this is an inverted diamond fold but with tweaked dimensions. It works beautifully […]
