Congrats!

Hey everybody! Happy Fri-YAY! I’m doing the happy dance because I’m once again guesting for Creative Creases Challenge! One of my fun folds was a winner back in December and I was invited by the lovely Debbie to guest for an upcoming challenge, so here I am, just in time for Challenge #82! The Creative Creases Challenges are always ‘anything goes with a fun fold’ (preferably with stamping), so come on over and play! I created a fun hidden pocket pop up card using some favorite items in my stash! My inspiration came from Lisa Curcio’s blog – she loves fun folds as much as I do and shares quite a few of them! This one looks like a regular A2 card from the front but the magic is on the inside! ;)

I cut the fun fold card base from CutCardStock Twine 80# 12×12 cardstock and layering panels from several prints in the Keep it Simple Ruby 12×12 Collection Pack. The die cut on the front is from STAMPlorations and is one of my favorites. I finished the front with a few Keep It Simple Ruby enamel dots.

As I said above, the magic is on the inside! There is a hidden pocket with two panels, which means room for two stamped sentiments, and both of them are from the Stampin’ Up Bravo stamp set. I added ephemera from the same Ruby Collection Pack to both panels, which completed the card.

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a fantastic week! I’m stoked to be back on the CutCardStock blog today with an awesome DT inspiration project featuring more of the Classic Linen and Classic Crest cardstock that was included in our Designer’s Pack – which happens to be on sale this month so be sure to get some! Affiliate links are used in this post at no cost to you. I really appreciate your support! I created an awesome congrats card that looks like quilt blocks!

This was such a fun card to make and was really easy. I cut a standard A2 size top-folding card base from Classic Linen Solar White 100# cardstock. I cut 12 1-1/2″ squares of patterned paper and layered them on 1-5/8″ square layers cut from Basis Teal 80# cardstock, then adhered them in an offset fashion on the front of the card base. I trimmed the edges even with the edges of the card base, added a stamped and layered sentiment strip and some iridescent gemstones to the flower centers.

I cut the inside panel from Classic Crest Solar White 80# cardstock, embellished it with a strip of teal cardstock, stamped the sentiment and layered the panel on a teal layer.

And one more peek… so in love with this card! This cardstock is so awesome and makes the most beautiful cards!
