Merry Christmas fun fold

Hey everybody! Well, another Thursday has rolled around and it’s almost Friday again! I hope you have something fun planned this weekend! I’ve popped in this morning with a Pajama Crafter Stamps project to share created with the super fun Prickley Pear Stamps Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set. As mentioned in my previous posts, I have quite a few Pajama Crafter Stamps projects to share that I created prior to leaving the team at the end of February and hadn’t yet showcased. This pop up window card is one I’ve never seen before, and I cannot remember where I saw it. But it’s super easy – an aperture of any shape is cut into the front flap, the die cut shape is reserved to use for the focal image, and a pop up mechanism (simple four-sided box) is added to the top back of the focal image so it stands up when the card is opened. Poof – you have a super cute fun fold!

I cut the card base from Cougar Smooth White cardstock along with two layering panels and a strip from patterned papers in the Simple Stories The Little Things 12×12 Collection Kit. I used a die from the Keep It Simple Stitched Ovals Nested Dies to cut an oval aperture into the front flap. I stamped a snowman from the Prickley Pear Stamps Holly Jolly Christmas stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on the oval die cut and colored it with alcohol markers. I added a simple four-sided box pop-up mechanism to the top back of the image and adhered it back into the negative space on the card front. I added several green gemstones and a sentiment (from the same stamp set), which completed the card.

Merry Christmas fun fold

Hi friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful week! It’s unreal that we’re already on the downslide to the end of June! I have another Splitcoast Stampers Dirty Dozen DT inspiration project to share… I hope you aren’t getting tired of seeing them because I sure am enjoying sharing them with you! This Merry Christmas double flap fun fold is one of my favorite designs and I’ve made quite a few of them over the years. I totally love a pink and teal color combo for Christmas!

I cut the card base and flaps from Neenah Classic Crest 80# Solar White cardstock and rounded the corners. I cut layering panels from CutCardStock Stardream Metallic Lagoon cardstock and coordinating papers from The Paper Studio Four Seasons and Everything In Between paper pad.

I stamped the reindeer from the Hero Arts Jingle All The Way stamp set on Solar White cardstock, colored it with alcohol markers and ultra fine point Sharpies, and cut it with the coordinating Jingle All The Way die. I die cut the ‘merry’ portion of the sentiment from CutCardStock Pop Tone Cotton Candy cardstock using the die from the Hero Arts Merry Stamp & Cut, then stamped stars and the other portion of the sentiment from the Merry Stamp & Cut as well.

Here are shots of the card opening up with the inside sentiment stamped from the Merry Stamp & Cut. So fun!

1. A Perfect Time To Craft: June #6-2023 – Anything Goes
