Thanks

Hey everybody, happy Friday! If you’re in the States, I hope you’re having a wonderful July 4th holiday and you’re looking forward to lots of fun this long weekend! Our new challenge is live this morning over at Creative Creases Challenge and I’m delighted to share my DT inspiration project for Challenge #105. I am an absolute FIEND when it comes to fun folds. What’s wrong with me?! I don’t even care about making a normal A2 card anymore. This tri-fold hidden door fun fold is a delight to make and really packs a punch. This is the second one of these I’ve made – I saw it on Pinterest a while back and it led me to several different videos so it’s an easy one to find.

I cut the card base and flaps from CutCardStock Lessebo Blossom Pink cardstock along with layering panels from coordinating prints in the Melissa Frances 5th Avenue 6×6 paper pad and Neenah Classic Crest Solar White cardstock. I used stamps from the Stampin’ Up Hand-Penned Petals and Charming Sentiments stamp sets along with the coordinating dies. These images and sentiments were stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink, Catherine Poole Mint To Be and Pixie Dust inks, and Memento Angel Pink and Bamboo Leaves inks. I added a little bow made from Keep It Simple Back To Basics Jade Ribbon, tied with my little wooden bow maker.

I embellished all the panels with either stamped or die cut florals. Totally LOVE how this turned out! It’s a fun one that you know you need to try! ;)

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)

  1. What a great fun fold card, Leslie! I always loved the Hand-Penned stamp set and am happy you inked it up. I haven’t seen this specific one before, so I will have to find a tutorial. And I totally agree that once you get into fun folds, it’s not as fun to create a standard card afterwards. Happy 4th!

  2. Leslie, I feel the same way about fun folds! They make regular A2 cards seem boring now! Love your Tri-Fold Hidden Door card! Such pretty flowers! Have a fabulous 4th of July! Hugs, Carrie Sheridan
