I have a very cool new fun fold card for you today. I was inspired by Sam Calcott, UK (not affiliated with SU) for this fold. I saw a video she made using a 6"x6" card base and modified to fit our A2 card base here in the states. I hope you like this fold and will give it a try. Be sure to watch the video tutorial to see how to put it all together. I've given several tips and tricks to make it go together easily for you.

Hello Friend book bind fun fold card
Wow! Did you see all the new products that Stampin' Up!®️launched yesterday? The Radiant Sunflower bundle I'm using in my card today was one of those new products. I do love sunflowers and this bundle is so good. It has additional flowers besides the sunflowers and so it's very versatile for all occasions. I've also used a new die set with squares that coordinate exactly with Spotlight on Nature circle dies. So clever!

Simply Leaves with a floral twist
Today I have a card using the Simply Leaves stamp set by Stampin' Up! but with a floral twist to the design. I hope you like it. I was inspired by a card I saw using the leaves to make a sunflower. It inspired to me to make this floral design. I added a fun fold and used the Everyday Arches dies and I was very pleased with the results. This card would make a beautiful birthday card or work for several other occasions as well just by changing the sentiment. Of course, you can personalize the card with the recipient's favorite color as well. There are so many ways to use it don't you think?

A Wild Bunch birthday
For my project today I decided to create a birthday card using the June 2026 POTM Wild Bunch stamp set. You can get this set for only $5 (while supplies last) with a $75 USD purchase after any coupons or rewards used. Be sure to order sooner rather than later especially as Stampin' Up! announced FREE SHIPPING June 11-13, also with a $75 purchase. So, when you qualify to order the stamps, you also qualify for the free shipping! Woot! Woot! Who doesn't love free shipping? I have my list ready to go do you?!
I love this little pop-up diamond fold. It looks so complicated and yet is the easiest thing to put together! You can watch the tutorial on how to make this card over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.

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?

Fluttering by to say hi butterfly edged fun fold card
My featured product this week is the Bordered in Beauty bundle by Stampin' Up! I love how many dies you get and how much die coordination is between the stamps and dies! I was pleasantly surprised on just how versatile that makes this bundle. With 17 dies making various borders & tags, I absolutely love this set and think it should be a staple in your collection. For my first card, I added in All Aflutter as I just had to use the butterflies from both sets together. I came up with this card and love how easy it was to adapt the die to cut the edged border.

Balloon Festoon Shaped Birthday card
The first card I thought to make with the new Balloon Festoon card was a shaped birthday card. I used the second largest of the balloon dies to make my card base. I tried the largest balloon die but it wouldn't have fit into a standard medium size envelope, so I opted for the second largest size. The finished card size is approximately 3 3/4" x 5". I combined some images from the Words & Wishes stamp set to finish the overall design. If you are in a hurry, you could easily stamp a sentiment, make the balloon card and call it good. It would still be cute and unique with whatever pattern paper you used. To see how I made my card, watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link. After I finished the video, I did go back and add a baker's twine bow to the neck as I thought it would look a little more finished. I love the difference it made, and you can see that in the photos below.
