Make It Monday #246 Three Hexagon Birthday Cards

Happy Birthday, Make it Monday Videos / March 2, 2026 / Birthday, Fun Fold, Hexagon

Happy Monday all. Today I am sharing with you three cards that I created using the Heartfelt Hexagon punch. If you don’t have this punch it is a good one. I use it for a variety of greetings, but today I thought I would think outside the box and use it for a background on two of our cards.

I think this technique would also look cool with the To the Point punch as well. Perhaps you have other punches in your stash that would work too. Use whatever is in your crafting stash and of course have fun creating!

#82 Weekly Wednesday ~ Super Easy Fun Fold Card

Designer Series Paper, Fun Fold Cards, Happy Birthday, Thank You / January 28, 2026 / Fun Fold

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:

Weekly Wed. #81 Fun Fold Accordion Card

Designer Series Paper, Fun Fold Cards, Weekly Wednesday Videos / January 21, 2026 / accordion, Fun Fold

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**

**FABULOUS SAYINGS-JANUARY 2026 PRODUCT OF THE MONTH**

Darling Donkeys Birthday Bonanza

36 Comments / Blog Hop, Fun Fold Cards, Happy Birthday / February 10, 2021 / Darling Donkeys, Fun Fold, Stitched So Sweetly Dies

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team created “Birthday Bonanza” projects to inspire you to make for all of your family and friends. We hope you enjoy and are inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments because we all love hearing from you! At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

Today’s card features a Z-Fold card using the Darling Donkey’s Sale-A-Bration set. I created a similar version for my January stamp camp. Z-fold cards are so fun and easy too! I hope you enjoy hopping along with us today.

Begin with a Cherry Cobbler card base that measures 5 ½ x 8 ½”. In landscape position, score at 4 ¼” and 2 1/8”. The first score will fold your card in half, Fold the second score back onto itself to create the Z-Fold. That’s all there is to it!
Cut two strips of your favorite Designer series paper 1 ¾ x 5 ¼”. Layer these on the 2 inch panels.
Next cut two coordinating rectangles from the Stitched so Sweetly Dies, the larger one is cut using Cherry Cobbler cardstock and the smaller one with Basic White.
Stamp one of the Darling Donkeys on the White cardstock and color with watercolor pencils and layer this on the Cherry Cobbler rectangle.
Stamp “Hey There Friend” in Cherry Cobbler ink on Basic White cardstock and cut out using the paper snips and put it up on the corner of the donkey with some Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Next attach the Donkey rectangle to the front of the Z-fold 2” panel making sure to only apply adhesive to the left side.

Now let’s create the inside-

Cut a 4 x 5 ¼” piece of White cardstock and layer on the inside.
Stamp Happy Birthday at the bottom of this white layer and add a ¼ x 4” strip of Cherry Cobbler just above the greeting.
Stamp two of the other Donkeys on white cardstock, color with watercolor pencils and fussy cut out. If you prefer, just stamp directly to the inside white cardstock panel and color. Using the brown watercolor pencil create a ground under the donkeys.
Stamp you’re the best in Memento Black ink and Hee Haw in Cherry Cobbler on some Basic White cardstock and cut out with the paper snips. If you don’t want the added dimension or if you don’t enjoy fussy cutting, simply stamp the words directly to the inside cardstock.

Z-Fold cards are so fun and while they look complicated, they really are simple, just one additional score line and you have it. I hope you enjoy all the wonderful cards made by my very creative teammates.

More inspiration awaits! Use the Blog Hop Line-up below to visit the rest of this month’s Design Team. My fellow Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Mark your calendars for our next blog hop on March 10th when our theme will be “Cute Critters” where the design team will be sharing projects that will feature critters of all sorts to inspire you. Don’t miss the fun! Until then, please stay safe and have fun in your craft room.
