I’ll be providing several closure options for this accordion fold card, all fitting into an A2 envelope. The expanding card feature provides the images to float while displayed which makes this a one-of-a-kind pop out card. Don’t miss the free project sheet which includes pictures, cutting dimensions and supplies for all these cards.

Fun Fold Card for Birthdays | Cheerful Daisies

Another special feature of this card is how the diamonds float. You can stand this card up with the center panel forward or the side diamonds forward. Either way, it’s the perfect table-top display.

The side panels collapse on the crease lines allowing you to choose either the left or right side to be the front of the card.

The Cheerful Daisies Bundle (stamp set + coordinating dies) offers options for die cutting the stamped image for the center of the flower. However, I saw a great opportunity to use my Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers to add some dimension. Be sure to watch the video for this amazing tip!

Fun Fold Card for Fall

The new Mini Catalog debuts on September 6, but like many of you, I like to get a jump start on my fall/Autumn cards. I took a look around my Studio and realized I had no pumpkin stamp sets but that’s easily remedied with dies and punches.

The Glorious Gingham designer paper provides the perfect fall-feel to this card. With an array of colors in this 6″x 6″ package you’ll be using it all year long!

Be sure to check out the Around the Bend Dies! I have come back to this die set time and time again because of the amazing flower dies. Here I opted to make them in Crushed Curry to look like sunflowers. Perfect for this fall motif!

The circle shape pumpkins can easily be made with punches or dies. The oval pumpkins were created using the Double Oval Punch. Don’t forget to add some color around the edges of each piece for depth. The Sponge Dauber is perfect for this technique.

I fussy-cut the flowers using my Paper Snips and strategically placed them around the leaves. The beauty of the flower image is that it stamps 3 flowers at once.
