Are you into easy fun fold cards to make? I know I love to incorporate fun folds for my cards, however I also look for the ones that are easy to make as I don’t have too much time to be doing one single card in hours..
So when I find easy fun folds you can hear me squeal in my craft room.. Even better if it maximizes my cardstock!
But before we start, I want to make sure you know this post is part of an amazing blog hop, where demonstrators around the globe are sharing thank you cards! so please hop with us and visit all participating blogs, I am sure you will get lots of inspiration.
So without further ado, let’s get started!
Easy Fun Fold Card
As mentioned above, for my thank you card, I wanted to use and easy fun fold. Mainly because this adds a little of a WOW to your card, and it doesn’t take forever to make.
See below how this card looks. Is this not a beautiful Thank you cards? Who would want to get one of this cards in the mail? Right?
As far as the construction of this fun fold card, the base of this card uses one piece of cardstock that is 4 1/4″ x 11″, you score it at 5 1/2″ and then you cut a 2 3/4″ piece from the long side, to have a piece that is 4 1/4″ x 2 3/4″ which is the one that goes on the front as the top layer. (You can watch the video tutorial below)
Then you just need to cut 2 pieces of DSP. In my sample the one on the flap of the card is 2 5/8″ x 4 1/8″ and the second piece (dots pattern) is 2 1/2″ x 4″.
For the inside I use a 5″ x 3 3/4″ basic white cardstock. And then I just embellished the front with the flowers as well as the bow and the sentiment using the Flowers of Friendship bundle.
To finish off the card, I colored the rhinestones with stamping blends in daffodil delight and add them to my card front as well as the flowers, and then add a bow using the Polished Pink open weave ribbon.
Color Combination
For this card I decided to use the following color combination
Since I was using the Party Pattern designer series paper, and I wanted to use the Black and White pattern, I knew I wanted to use the pink to pop some color in my card.
I love how well these colors go together, and I have use this color combo in several on my cards.
You can see this post where I shared three cards using this color combo but with the Timeless Tulips stamp set (which is one of my favorite sets). As you will see in that post, is that this color combo works really well when you want to use flowers.
Video Tutorial
As usual you can check the following video tutorial where you can see how this card was made step by step, as well as measurements. You will see how easy this fun fold is to put together that you will want make this fun fold over and over again.

But before we start, please know that this post is part of an amazing blog hop. The theme of this blog is all about florals. So visit all participating blogs as I am sure you will get lots of cards ideas for your next project!
Color & Contour Bundle from Stampin’ Up!
As mentioned at the beginning today project features the Color & Contour Bundle. This bundle is a brand new one in the new catalog.
As you can see below the stamp set has line images as well as bold images add color to the line images. I definitely love this about this set as it gives lots of alternatives for techniques. For instance today I will be coloring the images with alcohol markers, but you can choose to do water coloring as well .
The other thing I want you to notice is the gorgeous coordinating die set! this is amazing to create labels! You know I love labels as these always helps me when following sketches! so I am excited to see these dies.
Every single rectangle in this set, has a different embellishing mark, like dots or stitch marks or little holes.. They all look really nice.
Plus this die set has as well a border die that will surely be a hit in cardmaking!
All in all, I love this bundle!
Easy Fun Fold
But as I was mentioning at the beginning, today I wanted to share an easy fun fold with you. See below how this one looks.
Below you can see the video tutorial so you can see step by step how to make this one.. the base on this card is a long card base of 4 1/4″ x 11″ and then cut a 3 1/4″ from one end. You would need to score at 5 1/2′ and then from the 3 1/4″ left over piece, you can trim it to 2 1/4″. These would be the pieces you need for the base, as well as a rectangle die cut from the bundle.
The rest is just embellishing it. So make sure you watch the video tutorial to follow along how to make it.
As far as the flower, I decided to color using the stampin’ blends a.k.a. alcohol markers. And for the Designer Series Paper (DSP) I used a sheet from the Pansy Petals DSP.
I wanted to feature one of the new in colors – Pale Papaya, and this DSP has a nice gingham patter with several of the in colors, so I knew it would be perfect.
And for embellishments I used the open weave ribbon in Pale Papaya.
As you can see everything looks so well coordinated. This is so easy, when you use Stampin’ Up! products as everything color coordinate beautifully, making your card making very easy when it comes to color.

Card Ideas using the Fine Art Floral Suite!
A lot of times I hear from others they find it hard to come up with card ideas. They love the products but once they have them, they just don’t know what to do or where to start.
With this in mind, I thought it would be a good idea to share with you the process I use to come up with card ideas when using a suite.
So here is the process:
Select a suite that you want to use.
If you don’t have a full suite then select a paper pack, a ribbon spool that would coordinate, as well as some gems or rhinestones and a stamp set!
Pick a sheet from the paper pack you want to use
Look for color combinations from the patterned paper you selected in step #2
Pull cardstock in the colors you selected for your color combo
Think of what you will use as your focal point
In my cards you will see that I wanted to highlight the stamped images as I wanted to showcase some stamping techniques, but this can be die cuts, stickers, etc.
Look for sketches that will fit best your focal point
Have fun putting together your cards!
You can see how easy this process is! believe me, try it out and let me know what you think.. I promise you that if you ever struggled coming up with card ideas this process will help a ton!
