Sunset Coast quick and easy fun fold

Hello and welcome back to my blog!  Thanks so much for taking time from your busy day to spend a little with me.  I appreciate it so much!

For my card today I wanted to make a fun fold that would be quick and easy to put together.  I pulled out the Scenic Coast designer series paper (DSP), along with the Sunset Coast bundle.  I knew I wanted to use most of the 6" x 6" paper as it's so gorgeous.  While I was looking at cardstock, I saw a piece I had cut for another project that was 3 1/8" x 8 1/2" and already folded at 4 1/4".  That helped me decide on this particular fold, using up a piece I had prepared already.  I then figures out how I wanted to cut my DSP and started from there.  This card is the result and I think it turned out beautifully!  Don't you agree?

To see how easy it is to put this card together, be sure to watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

Supplies and measurements:

Sunset Coast bundle* 167781 (includes stamps and coordinating dies)

Scenic Coast 6" x 6" DSP 167773

    4 pieces: (2) 1" x 4 1/8", (1) 3" x 4 1/8" and 3/4" x 3" for inside layer

Well, that's all for today.  Until next time; be happy, good health to you and happy stamping!

Graduation card 2026 with Balloon Festoon

For my card today I needed a couple of graduation cards but I didn't have any current graduation sets by Stampin' Up!  So, I improvised a bit and used the Balloon Festoon bundle along with Seasonal Celebrations which retired in April.  (Sadly, it's sold out but I encourage you to look through your stash for a graduation cap.  It's time to dust off those retired stamps and give them a little love.  You will also find a sneak peek of an embossing folder coming in the July Online Exclusives.  Of course, you can always use something you have on hand.  To watch the video tutorial on how I put my card together, be sure to click this link to head on over to YouTube.
