It seems like so long ago that I shared a quick video with an adorable fun fold card of an adorable witch and then dashed to the airport for a Stampin’ Up! leadership event in New Orleans. The trip was amazing from the beignets to the carriage ride, food tour, training sessions, and time with friends. We closed out the event with our own parade and dancing to the songs of the 80s.
I came home and enjoyed 2 days with my family before testing positive for Covid. The next 7 days were mostly the pits. I’m feeling much better now and have been busy designing the September card classes. I gave sneak peeks in today’s live stream of the Hello Harvest cards for the September Card Club, the Sweet Candy Cane cards for the Christmas Card Class, and the Celebrating with Tags cards for next week’s online card class.
I must warn you that like many fun folds, this one is addictive. The possibilities are endless. I shared 2 versions of a Christmas Scotties card, a Bewitching card, and a Yeti to Party card. The design is super easy. Grab a piece of colored card stock, 2 coordinating patterns of designer series paper, white cardstock, a stampset, ink, and a little bling. In no time you can have a dozen varieties of standing cards.
There’s more stamping with the Sweet Candy Cane bundle in the September Christmas Card Class and more stamping with the Christmas Scotties in the bonus class.
There are so many photos. I’ve restrained myself from adding more.
The Live Stream – Facebook and YouTube
Thursdays at 9:00 am CST, 10:00 am EST, 8:00 am MDT
Every Thursday I’m live on Facebook and YouTube at 9:00 am CST with a fun project or 2. I found an adorable fun fold to feature today with 3 different themes. I think I loved stamping the backs almost as much as the card front. Do you have a favorite? What should I try next? This piggies have my vote.
If you jump over to YouTube to watch the replay I’d love you to subscribe to my channel and leave a comment. You are helping my channel and my business grow; thank you so much.
A Birthday Card for Marshall
A CASE of Beth Maxwell
I fell in love with a card shared by Beth Maxwell and had to copy it.
In Honor of Ramsey
Ramsey belongs to some friends of mine, and he’s been known to be a little mischievous. He once enjoyed a full box of Mini Glue Dots under his owner’s bed. Can you imagine?
