Birthday Joy Fold

Today I'm sharing another "Joy Fold" Card with you. This is just like the one I posted yesterday but uses a different stamp set. For this one I used Fresh Vintage from the Sale-a-Bration Mini catalog. Other than that, the concept is the same. These cards are so pretty and not that difficult to make. How fun would it be to get one of these in the mail?

Here it is open:

stamps: Fresh Vintage, Sincere Salutations

ink: Lucky limeade, Calypso Coral, Pool Party

paper: Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper, Calypso Coral, Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade

Joy Fold Card

This is the last of the four folds we did last week at my fun folds class. This one is called a "joy fold" I'm not sure why it's called that but it is a fun way to fold a card. It's sort of like two cards in one.. one folds over the other and tucks into the oval on the front. When you open it it looks like this inside:

Here is another view of it partially open:

stamps: Tea Shoppe

ink: Calypso Coral, Old Olive

paper: Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper, Old olive, calypso coral, Pool Party

other: Oval Punch, Scallop oval punch, dimensional, simply scored tool

Stair Step Cards

Another card we made at my fun folds class was a Stair-Step card. These cards are also fun to display! When folded flat they fit in a regular size A2 envelope. For the first one I used the Sale-a-Bration stamp set Fresh Vintage to stamp the main image. I colored the stamp with wild wasabi, marina mist and calypso coral markers. Then I added the "happiness" from the set Fabulous Phrases, punched out with the word window punch and framed with the Modern Label punch. Some ruffled ribbon and bakers twine add the finishing touches!

The next card is also a stair step card but this time I used the set Mouthwatering from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I love the cherry in this set! I added the "sweet" from the Fabulous Phrases set again... If you don't have this set, it's a great one... lots of awesome easy to use words in it! I added some cherries in the background from the fruit and flowers stamp set, just red ink on real red cardstock. I also added a fun border with the scallop ribbon border punch and some red 1/8" taffeta ribbon!

Another Easel Card

Since I was having fun making easel cards here is another one! This one I used the big teacup from the stamp set Tea Shoppe. I also used the framed tulips embossing folder to create the cool embossed frame around it. This card is quite simple, just uses a couple colors - chocolate chip, vanilla and regal rose. I added some coordinating ribbon and lined the inside of the card with Vanilla cardstock too so you have a place easily write. Last, to make the easel stand up I punched out the cute little image that comes in the Tea Shoppe Set to make a pop up. It's hard to see in the photo but it says "The White Peony Tea Shoppe".

Here's what the card looks like closed:

stamps: Tea Shoppe

ink: Chocolate Chip, regal rose

paper: very vanilla, chocolate chip, regal rose

other: Framed tulips embossing folder, rose grosgrain ribbon, dimensional dot, oval and scallop oval punches, simply scored tool.

Hot Air Balloon Easel Card!

Here is a fun easel card we made at my fun folds class this week. Easel cards are a fun way to give someone a card that they can set up on their table or desk to enjoy! For this card I used the stamp set Up, Up, and Away to stamp the balloons and sky. I love how you can make cute little scenes with this set! On the inside bottom on the card I stamped "happy birthday to you" from the same set along with some clouds. Then I added a button to use as a stopper to keep the card open.

Here is a view of the card when it's closed:

stamps: Up, Up and Away

ink: tempting turquoise, melon mambo, basic gray, daffodil delight

paper: tempting turquoise, melon mambo, whisper white, daffodil delight

other: so saffron taffeta ribbon, button, simply scored tool, houndstooth embossing folder, scallop trim border punch

Tri-Shutter card

Here is a card that I designed for my upcoming fun folds class. This is called a tri-shutter card. I used the stamp set mouthwatering for the large cherry and fruit and flowers for the small cherry. I accented the panels with the coordinating sweet shop designer series paper. The sentiment "happy birthday" is from the hostess set Happiest Birthday Wishes.

If you like this card and want to learn how to make it there is still time to sign up for my fun folds class- just let me know if you'd like to join me by March 9th.

Here is what the card looks like when it is closed:

And here is one more close-up view. The last panel is blank so you can write a message to the recipient.
