Welcome to InKing Royalty’s February Blog Hop! During this year’s blog hops, we are having fun with our stamping favorites – our favorite themes for seasonal cards and projects. This month’s projects feature balloons, so you are in for a celebratory treat. We are excited to share our creations with you today! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I believe balloons are a definite Fun item. Anything that makes me Smile is fun. So I have combined the smile inducing, adorable, Happy Birthday Chick stamp set with a Fun Fold to share for this Blog Hop Challenge.
This is the first time I have made this Fun Fold. There are a couple of names that I have seen in looking for it on various card sites. So I chose to call it the Corner Fold. It worked perfectly to show off the balloons. And since the little chicks are shouting Happy Birthday, the balloons are appropriate.
Here is the inside view and you can see the fold as well.
I LOVE the chick with the balloon hanging off her tail! You can see the corner pieces under the chick and above her. Those fold inside the card when it is closed. I positioned the chick to lay down with the fold and not be seen when the card is closed. The three balloons from the closed card are attached on the back side of the fold.
The chicks are all stamped with Memento Tuxedo Ink and colored with the Stampin’ Blends. All of the colors will be listed in the supply list. They are all cut out using the matching Dies in the bundle. The Happy Birthday from the front is stamped and punched out using the Classic Label Punch.
I chose to have a background for the balloons as the strings are not really sturdy. I used the 2″ Circle Punch for this. All of the DSP is from the Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper. I think it worked perfectly for this birthday card.

I like this fold, and your illustrations will be helpful for trying to make it. These cute chicks (and eggs) are perfect on the inside and outside of your card. I like the colors you chose also. I used the same paper on today’s card, and with different cardstock, it looks completely different. Pretty card. Thanks for sharing.
what a great fun fold. You will have to post your scoring directions sometime.
That is one uber cute card. Love the surprise at the end of the balloon strings.
So cute! I’ve never seen this fun fold – but it looks “fun” and I need to try it.
This is just clever as all get out! Love your fun fold!
What a cool fold Jackie! If we can ever get together again you have to teach me to make this. I love it!
Jackie-what a fun fold and your card just made me smile!!!
I love this fun fold! I haven’t seen it before. It’s the perfect showcase for your balloons!
Wowza! Such a fun fold and a super-fun card. Love it, Jackie!
What a fun card, Jackie! The chickie and balloon is perfect!
Love the fun fold….such a cute card!
This is a super fun cad, Jackie! I’ve never attempted it with something peeking from the fold on the front of the card – you have inspired me to try something new!!
I love this variation on the corner fun fold. I am going to have to try it with the pop-up pieces on both the inside and outside. What fun! Thanks for the inspiration!
Such a clever and fun fold! TFS!
