Aloha, all! When I talk about a card that has a fun fold, I really like to give the fold a name. Usually I don't have a problem with that because I've seen the fold in other places, and the name is right there with the card. In this case, though, I had no such luck. After I figured out how I was going to make this card, I went looking (on Pinterest, of course) to see how other people had made a … [Read more...] about Another Super Simple Fun Fold Card!
Fun Folds
It’s a Halloween Fun Fold!
Aloha, all! This week we're continuing with my Tuesday's Techniques theme for September - Fun Folds. As a refresher, I decided that the folds for September are going to be easy to construct and are also folds that allow a card to stand up on a table or shelf. I love showing off a card that a friend sends me. And I'm so disappointed when I have to lay it down because there's no way it can stand … [Read more...] about It’s a Halloween Fun Fold!
A Diagonal Gatefold Card!
Aloha, all! It's Tuesday again, and time for my Tuesday Technique, which this month is simple fun fold cards. Nothing too complicated, and they all use just half a sheet of cardstock. In the case of today's card, once you've cut your half of the cardstock, you pretty much have to make another of the same kind of card with the other half. This is not a bad thing by any means! Cutting Cardstock … [Read more...] about A Diagonal Gatefold Card!
September Tuesdays – Easy Fun Fold Cards!
Aloha, all! For September, my Tuesday Techniques blog posts are going to focus on fun folded cards. Those that I'll be posting are almost as easy to make as a traditional "fold-in-the-middle" type of card. If you have any ideas that you'd like me to include, I'd love to hear about them. Meanwhile, I'll be posting folds that I've used in my own card-making. One aspect of card folding that I find … [Read more...] about September Tuesdays – Easy Fun Fold Cards!
More Christmas in July – For Island Hopping!
Aloha, all! Here we are, still in the last week of July 2020, and I and my Stampin' Up! sister, Cheryl Hamilton, are so thankful that Hawai'i dodged a bullet, er, Hurricane, last weekend. To celebrate, we've chosen to continue to celebrate Christmas In July for our monthly Island Hopping Blog Hop. The island are in Hawaii - Maui, Cheryl's home island, and the Big Island, my home. Check out the … [Read more...] about More Christmas in July – For Island Hopping!
Trifold Twist – A Really Fun Fold!
Aloha, all! You have to know that I love making cards that are different from the standard 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" A2 greeting card. Oh, I love those cards, too. It's just that, with all my card-making efforts during the "stay at home" Covid recommendations, I get tired of the same old same old. Today I'm sharing a fold that I have found really is fun. It's fun because I love just opening and closing … [Read more...] about Trifold Twist – A Really Fun Fold!
W Is For Whale!
Aloha, all! You may remember that one of the first papers that I used from the newest Stampin' Up! catalog was from the Whale of a Time Designer Series Paper (DSP) set. It was when I made this card that I realized that there weren't just prints on the papers in the set. There were actually underwater scenes that I could use all by themselves. Then last week a fellow Stampin' Up! demonstrator … [Read more...] about W Is For Whale!
A Peeka-a-boo Fun Fold!
Aloha, all! When I went to Portland last November for the Stampin' Up! On Stage event, I also met with a group of online Stampin' Up! demonstrators the evening before for a fun pot luck dinner and crafting session. Each of the 6 of us brought supplies to make a card. Our hostess, Karenlee, had a dynamite fun-fold that I've made several times since. The Designer Series Paper Rules! The … [Read more...] about A Peeka-a-boo Fun Fold!
Another Tower Card for a Happy Birthday!
Aloha, all! Yesterday I shared a picture of a project using what I'm called the "Small Tower Fun Fold." That project was a Valentine's Day card. Today I'm sharing another card made using the same fold design with different colors and papers. A Special Card for My Sister-in-Law's Birthday! One of my sisters-in-law is a card designer and teacher, as am I. So every year I try to see if I can't … [Read more...] about Another Tower Card for a Happy Birthday!
A Short Tower Valentine!
Aloha, all! Oh my goodness! Valentine's Day is a week from YESTERDAY! Sigh, but I'm glad I made all my Valentine Cards before today. In fact, most of them will be going into the mail today. Oh, but today's Saturday - so they won't start on their way until Monday. OK, even in Hawai'i there's still time for them to get to all their designated locations by Friday. I hope. Special … [Read more...] about A Short Tower Valentine!
