Welcome to the Paper Craft Crew Weekly Challenge!

This week, we are creating cards with fun folds.

Grab your supplies and get creating!

This card may look complicated, but it is actually so

simple and easy to do! It starts with a simple

5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card base and scored at 2 1/8"x 4 1/4"

and 6 3/8". The center panel measures 3" x 6 3/4" and

is scored at 3 3/8". 

You can fill each panel with designer paper, 

embossed cardstock or just stamp directly onto the cardstock

with your favorite images. You can make it as simple or

as elaborate as you'd like!

 Good Morning, Stampers!

Welcome to this week's rubberFUNatics Weekly Challenge!

The theme this week is to create a fun folding card. These are so 

fun to do and is sure to get a "wow" from the recipient!

This particular style is called a "stair step" because the sides

look like stairs. I began with an 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card base and

used the measurements I listed below. Be sure to cut on the red line

and score on the blue lines. Then just zig zag fold along the score 

lines. You can decorate the card any way you choose!

A close up of the steps....

There is even a little roon for the inside, too!

Control Freaks January Blog Hop - Fun Folds

 Hello Stampers!

Welcome to the January Control Freaks blog hop!

The team is so excited to share some fun and fancy

folds with you - you'll want to create to impress for

yourself, too! Whether you are arriving from the wonderful

Wendy Weixler or just starting out here, I know you

will enjoy these projects as much as we have creating

them for you - ENJOY!

I am so in love with these sweet little Adorable

Owls from Sale-A-Bration! I combined them with the 

Ringed with Nature bundle - it's a perfect match!

I was so happy to see that this bundle made the carry over list!

You may be wondering where the fun fold is on here.

You need to take a peek on the inside to see the.....

SURPRISE! A fun little pop-up that has these 

little owls enjoying an afternoon flight! 

It's so easy to do, too! The outside card measures 

4 1/4" x 5 1/2" folded. The inside card measures 

4" x 5 1/4" folded. To get the center to pop, just 

bring the center fold to the inside, line up the edges

of the card and press the closed. For thicker cardstock,

you can just used your score tool. So fun!

You Are A Real Blessing

Good Morning, Stampers!

I have a fun fold card to share with you today! It features two stitched triangles tucked behind the card base and tied together with a baker's twine bow. Once opened, the card flips up to reveal a personalized message. A fun interactive idea! Give it a try! Don't have triangles? Use a different shape! 

1. Cut a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Basic White card panel.

2. Cut a 4" x 10 1/2" Blushing Bride card base. Fold in half.

3. Cut a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Layering Designs vellum and adhere to the top of the card front.

4. Cut (2) stitched triangles from Blushing Bride cardstock. Score along the edge of each 1/2". Fold.

5. Adere the flap of each triangle to the backside of the card base - making sure they meet in the middle.

    Punch holes.

6. Adhere the card base to the panel.

7. Stamp the floral image onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using Tuxedo Black ink.
8. Color the image using Pool Party, Soft Seafoam, Calypso Coral, Old Olive, So Saffron Stampin' Blends. Cut.
9.Adhere the image to the card front.
10. Stamp the sentiment onto the lower portion of the vellum using Jet Black Stazon.

12. Close the triangles and tie the Baker's Twine into a bow.
