Hey everybody, Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re having a great week! I have a super cute and very easy project to share for Keep It Simple today! I made this simple pillar card for the How-To’s section on the website, and it features primarily papers and die cut pieces from our new-ish Barnyard Bliss collection. I know there are lots of crafters out there who make fun folds all the time (I’ll raise my hand), and on the flip side of that, there are many who have never attempted to make one at all due to sheer intimidation. I would love to change that! My tutorial for this fun fold will help guide anyone reading it through the ins and outs of making this easy card, so be sure to check it out!

I cut the card base from Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock along with layering panels from a plaid print (in the Barnyard Bliss collection), CutCardStock Basis Dark Red and 80# Solar White. I grabbed several die cut pieces from the Barnyard Bliss collection to embellish both sides, popping a few of them up on small and large 1mm foam squares from the Adhesive Basics Squares & Strips. I stamped a sentiment from the KIS Sentiment Stamps Sunshine & Rainbows stamp set in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink, which completed the card.

Here’s an angled shot so you can see the simple construction – and it folds flat for mailing! I’d love to know if you make one. If you’ve never attempted a fun fold before, you’ll make yourself proud!
