Team Challenge

The creative challenge I set for my team this month was this super easy Fun Fold.

Now as far as I know, it doesn't have an official name, I have heard it's a simple Double Z fold.

It's another great card to show off and use up some of the designer paper.

Fun story...I actually had NO 12" x 12" dsp from the christmas catty to make this card! Out of all the dsp I have stashed in the studio, it's all 6" x 6" which isnt big enough, so make sure you have a spare sheet or two of 12" x 12" to start with.

So I had to go to the Online Exclusives box and I found a pack of the Tartan Foil, which I've stashed because its great for Masculine cards.

I also thought this colour appropriate for Christmas.

I didn't want the paper design to be too busy anyway because I wanted to dress up the accent on the front using a bundle.

Just note when cutting your dsp, the pattern is directional so pay attention to which direction its going when cutting.

Start with a single piece of cardstock for the base and cut that at 10.5cm x 14cm. You will use this piece to attach the dsp fold to.

Then cut your dsp to 12" x 4". This size means you get three of these strips from one full 12x12 sheet.

Then score that at 2 1/2" x 6 3/4"

Adhere your dsp fold to the base and now you are ready to decorate however you desire.

Simple hey?

I love this fold as it's something different and adds an element of interest for the person receiving it.

Fun Fold anyone?

I'm really starting to like creating different Fun Folds and some of them are such a great way to use up designer paper. Especially all those different sized scraps that you aren't sure what to do with.

I stumbled across a Reel on socials showing how to make this fun fold and I instantly loved it purely because of the way it opened.

I thought this looked complicated to put together at first but when it came time to actually try one, I was delightfully surprised at how easy it was.

It's simply a Tent Fold card base, with the majority of the front panel lobbed off to leave a small panel at the bottom. Then another smaller gift card sized card is adhered to the base the opposite way which creates the unique opening. Then you can just dress the panels with any designer paper you desire.

One of my fave papers this christmas season is from the last Online Exclusive release.

The Seasons of Green and Gold Specialty paper is just stunning and I particularly love that the patterns are quite market generic, meaning no matter where you are in the world, this paper would suit your christmas season.

I'm very happy with this card as it's turned out a bit fancy and who doesn't love a fancy card.

Caring Leaves

I love a really good simple stamp set.

Something with a few images that are versatile and easy to stamp and mayber a simple sentiment or two to go with them.

Que the Caring Leaves stamp set.

I found the original design of this card on fb made by Brian King in the U.S.

I had absolutely no idea this set was a two step stamp set until I inked it up to make this card, so this was a lovely surprise.

I've always been fond of a "scribbly line" designed stamp, that way, your images when stamped don't have to be perfectly lined up, it looks good if they are a little off.

Plus this colour combo pops!

Such a simple card that's just about the stamping, which can be a nice change from die cutting, especially if you aren't in the mood. This stamped layout is so versatile because it can be used for lots of different occasions with just a change of sentiment.

I'm really pleased with this card and thank you to Brian for the inspiration. I'm so happy I inked up this set and I can see miore cards made with it in my future.
