Did you miss the fun fold card video?

If you missed my video awhile back sharing how to create this fun fold from 1/2 a sheet of 12×12 designer paper, you can watch the replay!!

Watch the video replay here
A hand holds a handmade Fun Fold Card decorated with crafting tools and supplies in pastel colors. The card features "thank you" and "hello" in a circular stamp, with a blank white space for a message. Multiple similar cards are spread out in the background.

In addition to the Hobby Haven paper design for this card, I shared several other design options in previous posts. See the Valentine Card version here. See the floral card ideas here.

Fun Fold Card dimensions:

Be sure to check out the video for all the details, but in a nutshell, cut your designer paper to 5-1/2″ x 12″, score at 2″, 4″, 8″ and 10″, then measure up 3″ from each short end and cut an angle as shown.

A floral-patterned paper is folded to display a card panel measuring 3.5" x 5". Below it, a Fun Fold Cards template on grid paper shows a 5.5" x 12" rectangle with scored fold lines at 2", 4", 8", and 10", both sides angled from 3" to the top edges.

Quick & Cute Easter Card idea

| 1 Comment

The text "Easter Card Ideas" and "Happy Easter" appears on the cards and labels. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Do you remember a few weeks ago when I shared this great design idea for making the Heartfelt Hexagon punch cards? One of the Stampin’ Up! designer papers I used was the Easter Joy 12×12 pack, combined with the Pastels Shimmer paper, the Easter Time Ephemera pack, and the Softest Spring Puffy Stickers. What a great combo of spring and Easter papercrafting supplies!

Several of the cards I designed combine both the ephemera pack and puffy stickers. Aren’t they a super cute combo for Spring or Easter cards? I also used Happy Easter from the Reason to Celebrate stamp set.

Easter Card Supplies

I did combine 3 designer paper packs of paper on these cards.. you can use just one pack, or add some solids, too.

In addition to Daffodil Delight, I also tried Lemon Lolly cardstock (below).. so pretty!

Puffy Stickers kind of take me back to my sticker days in the ’80’s and ’90’s.. .how about you?

And if you don’t want to use the ephemera and puffy stickers.. try the amazing Easter Basket bundle! Hopefully you grabbed some Woven Textures DSP when I posted about this in early December.. it’s sold out now but it’s so cute for the Easter Basket die cut if you have any left over!

Five colorful, textured card samples are shown, each in a clear sleeve with a labeled embossing folder name: “Beautiful Pattern,” “Lovely Stripes,” “Stone & Vine,” “All in a Row,” and “Hearts of Love.” The text reads: “Stampin’ Up!

One of the products in my craft room that I LOVE so much are embossing folders. Today I’m sharing some of the new Stampin’ Up! embossing folders that are in my craft room, and fun suggestions of paper you might want to try with them.

Beautiful Pattern embossing folder

Yes, the Beautiful Pattern folder has been so sweetly called the paper towel folder… but wow.. look how amazing it looks with the Pastels Shimmer paper in Lemon Lolly!!

A hand with red nail polish holds a sheet of yellow pastels shimmer paper embossed with a diamond pattern. Behind it, a clear plastic embossing folder labeled "BEAUTIFUL PATTERN #167087" is visible. The background shows a gridded workspace. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Stone & Vine embossing folder

I tried the Stone & Vine embossing folder with the Old Olive Two Tone cardstock and I love the little bits of white that show through as the paper is embossed! You could increase the amount of white by using a sanding block.

A hand holds a clear embossing folder labeled “Stone & Vine #166990” and a raised, textured green cardstock labeled “Old Olive Two Tone cardstock #166683.” The green card features an embossed vine and floral pattern. The background is a craft workspace. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

All in a Row embossing folder

I truly love the nice square patterns of this folder.. if you know me well, you know I love anything that has to to with a grid or graph paper… so I love the All in a Row embossing folder… and it looks fantastic embossed with the Pastels Shimmer paper in pink Bubble Bath!!

A hand with red nail polish holds embossed pink paper labeled “Pastels Shimmer Paper #167198” in front of a clear embossing folder labeled “ALL IN A ROW #166989.” Both items are shown on a craft table with grid lines in the background. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Lovely Stripes embossing folder

The Lovely Stripes embossing folder is a winner for a neutral background on your card projects… and it looks fantastic embossed with the Pastels Shimmer paper in Pool Party!!

A hand holds a light blue, shimmery embossed paper labeled "Pastels Shimmer Paper #167198" over a striped embossing folder labeled "LOVELY STRIPES #167179" on a craft table. The website "PattyStamps.com" appears on the blue paper. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

Hearts of Love embossing folder

Looking for a perfect embossing folder for Valentine’s day, weddings, anniversaries, or just I Love You cards? Grab the Hearts of Love embossing folder!

A hand holds a pink Strawberry Slush Two Tone embossed cardstock (#166705) with small hearts and dots, placed against a clear "Hearts of Love" embossing folder (#167071).
