Fun Fold Cards

#82 Weekly Wednesday ~ Super Easy Fun Fold Card

Hello my stamping friends. I hope you are staying warm. The temperature is pretty cold in St. Louis and we have a ton of snow on the ground. I am guessing anywhere between 9 and 10 inches. Yes, it is the perfect weather for creating fun fold cards and I have a super easy one for you today.

This is such a fun and totally easy card but it sure does pack that wow factor. It really does not take much DSP at all, but the end result is fabulous. Be sure to download your free project sheet with all the correct measurements. If you watch the video then you will know I was on the struggle bus with my measurements, but I promise, the project sheet is correct.

Let’s take a closer look:

Card # 1 Happy Birthday
Card # 2 with a slight variation

Don’t forget to download your free project sheet!

I hope you find this card as easy and fun to create as I did. Be bold and play around with some different patterned paper. Happy Stamping!

Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Weekly Wed. #81 Fun Fold Accordion Card

Happy Wednesday. If you live in the Midwest, I do hope you are staying warm. It is really supposed to get cold this weekend. I may have to move my crafting space into my living room in front of the fire! LOL. Or maybe I will just sit in my lazy boy and enjoy a glass of Chardonnay. But for now, I am excited to share with you a fun fold accordion card that I created using a 5 1/4 x 12 piece of designer series paper.

This card will look great with whatever patterned paper you have on hand, but if you want to purchase the True Blue Florals paper pack, it is the product of the month from December, so supplies are limited. Just place a $75 order through my online store and you can choose the True Blue Floral paper pack or the January 2026 product of the month, Fabulous Sayings. Both are featured in our card today.

TRUE BLUE FLORALS-DECEMBER 2025 PRODUCT OF THE MONTH

Today, I am excited to share with you a fun fold card I am calling the Double Pocket Arch card. I know that is not very creative, but this card does have two pockets and an arch. I have also created two tags, but it would be an awesome gift card holder as well. This card also features one of the new Christmas paper packs coming in September, so I guess you can consider this a sneak peek at that paper. The pack is called Elegant Pine Snowflakes. Today’s video is the first in four part series, so be sure to stop back on Monday, for part 2.

Gift and Note Card Holders~Make It Monday#212

Happy Monday everyone. Did you know that Christmas is less than 6 months away. With the weather in full sun and humidity here in St. Louis, it is hard to think about Christmas, but today’s video is all about gift and note card holders. I am featuring a LAST CHANCE product, Grow In Love! I am using the envelope die from the bundle to create fun holiday gift and note card holders. They are so sweet, I am sure you are going to love them. Even better, they don’t have to be for the holidays! You can use them for birthday gifts, wedding gifts, Mother and Father’s day gifts or that special thank you gift!

Here is a closer look at theses sweet gift and note card holders!

I hope you enjoy creating these gift and note card holders. Any 6 x 6 designer series paper will work for this project. So if it is too early to start thinking about Christmas, I get it. And if you are like my dear friend, Sr. Bernard and myself, then it is never too early to start crafting for Christmas. It is probably a little early for the countdown, but never for the creating! LOL Happy Stamping!
