If you follow my blog, and I hope you do!!, then you know how much I love different folds. I have a couple of new ones to share this week. I had a doctor’s appointment last week and forgot my book. So I spent quite a while looking at Pinterest and seeing different ideas to CASE. I generally case layouts and folds, but as stampers we are always getting ideas from different places and things. Today’s Fun Fold is a Case of fellow Demonstrato Patty Bennett. She actually shared her version of this card last Tuesday.
For my version of the Fun Fold, I used the Beautiful World Bundle, and paired it with the World of Good Designer Series Paper. The left side of the front is a new Sneak Peek DSP it is the Classic Christmas Designer Series Paper. It paired perfectly with the other DSP.
Actually the Classic Christmas DSP is part of a bundle of products that will be available for purchase in November.
Here is another view of the Fun Fold.
I love how this fold allows the continuity of this gorgeous DSP. It would work with any paper, but a pattern, that is cut correctly, really looks great. And it is simple to cut once you see the card. I chose the map and the simple black globe from the Beautiful World for a clean and masculine look. The globe layer is a Crumb Cake layer cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.
Here is a totally opened up view.
There is not a lot of room to write your note, but I believe it is adequate. This sentiment seems just perfect for the narrow piece of Whisper White.
Here are the measurements for the card and the cutting.
Base of card is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 scored at 1 1/2 and 4 1/4
Fold and burnish all of the score lines. The short fold, folds backwards onto the front.
Cut the DSP to the proper orientation. In this case to landscape (sideways) and cut to 6″.
Then cut the height to 5 1/4.
Now place back in landscape mode and cut at 2 3/4, and 1 1/8. This leaves the last piece at 2 1/8. All are 5 1/4 high.
Look at the closed photo. You will see that the front DSP goes from the small folded flap over to the right edge of the card. It does not just fit on that narrow flap.
Adhere the pieces beginning with the 2 3/4. Open the card and adhere the 1 1/8 on the right side of the center section. Adhere the last piece to the left side of the back section.
The Whisper White layer with the sentiment is 1 7/8 X 5 1/4.
I added the front left DSP because my focal layer was the same as the base layer. It is the Classic Christmas DSP and is cut 2 1/2 X 5 1/4
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed this new fun fold and will do a CASE yourself.

My Fun Fold today is another find in my craft room. This fold was one I had done many years ago. So now it is new again! I called it a Tri-Fold. Although I am sure it had a better name at one time.
I adore this Celebrate Sunflower stamp set. I have used it many times. And since I love coloring, as you can tell if you follow me, It is perfect for coloring. I used a variety of Stampin’ Blends and will have all of them listed in the Supply List. But I stamped the flower using Early Espresso Ink and colored the petals with Mango Melody. The highlights are Calypso Coral.
I feel like I sometimes use too much Designer Series Paper. And then I think there is no such thing!! Before I got so attached to the DSP, I previously used a lot of different Embossing Folders for my backgrounds. For this card, I decided to go with the embossing. This is one of the two folders in the Wrapped In Texture Embossing bundle. They are both wonderful, but I thought the little dots went with the center of the sunflower. Note: These embossing folders are the narrower ones and will work in the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine when it becomes available.
Here is a look at the inside and how it opens.
As you can see, I stamped the sunflower on the inside as well. This time I used Crumb Cake and then stamped the sentiment in Early Espresso. All of the stamps are from the Celebrate Sunflower set. The only difficult thing about this card, Is remembering to only add adhesive to half of the back of your focal layers! It only attaches to one side. Ask me how I know this !!!!!!! 🙂
Measurements:
base of Crumb Cake is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 2, 3 3/4, 7 1/4, 9
Fold and burnish all score lines and then fold into mountains on each side of the square center.
the Inside Very Vanilla layer is cut to 3 1/4 X 4
The front embossed areas are Mango Melody cut to 1 3/4 X 4 (need 2)
The center layers are largest to smallest: 3 X 2 5/8, 2 3/4 X 2 3/8, 2 1/2 X 2 1/8, 2 1/4 X 1 7/8
Thank you for visiting today! Please come by tomorrow. I will be participating in the InKing Royalty Blog Hop. There will be great projects for you to see.

I mentioned yesterday that I was behind on Birthday cards. So I have another one to share today. I also used another of the DSP that are included in the 15% OFF Sale. This one is a favorite of almost everyone in terms of the texture it gives to a card. Can you guess which one that is?
If you guessed In Good Taste Designer Series Paper as the DSP, you are correct! This piece is my favorite of all of the ones in the pack. Misty Moonlight is my favorite of the new In Colors, and this piece has a touch of Misty Moonlight in the folds on the paper.
A little bit of a different touch to this card is that I stamped directly onto the DSP. I love how the texture shows through these poppies. I still colored them using the Stampin’ Blends in Just Jade and Purple Posy.
For the focal point, I stamped the single flower image and then die cut using the Stitched Nested Labels Dies. I used the 4th from largest die. I colored this flower using the same Stampin’ Blends. Then to give it a little background, I used the marker flick to give the splatter look. I used the Misty Moonlight Stampin’ Write Marker and flicked the brush tip against the inside of the lid to “splatter” the card stock. I wanted to tie in that piece to the DSP without doing a background layer.
The focal flower is raised with Dimensionals. I also added a bow tied using the blue and white baker’s twine from the Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo. It was just enough of an extra touch.
Thank you for stopping by today. Please return tomorrow and I will have another new project to share.

I have only played with the Beautiful World stamp set a couple of times. So I decided it was past time to pull it out again. The stamp set and matching DSP are wonderful.
I used the Beautiful World Bundle today. The cut outs in the globe are a favorite! I didn’t plan on it when choosing the DSP sheets, but I do love the map paper you can see through the cut outs of the globe. Surprises are always appreciated!
I chose the map piece of the World of Good Designer Series Paper as my starting point for today’s card. All of the sheets are gorgeous! Especially the ones with the foil accent. I had not previously used the piece in the background, so added it as well. With those two choices I decided on the Cinnamon Cider card stock as my card base. I am falling more and more in love with this color. It seems to match so many colors.
I chose to think of the colors in the background layer as blue and gray. The perfect match for that, at least to me, is Misty Moonlight. And that finished my color choices! I did add one of the 2020-2022 In Color Dots in Cinnamon Cider as the accent point on the sentiment.
Measurements:
Cinnamon Cider base card is 4 1/4 X 11
Misty Moonlight layer is 4 X 5 1/4
large DSP layer is 3 7/8 X 5 1/8
small Misty Moonligh layer is 2 1/4 X 4
small DSP layer is 2 X 3 3/4
scraps for Whisper White and Misty Moonlight Layering Circles

I have a woodsy, masculine card to share today. Yesterday was our 40th Anniversary! Wow! When you are first married, you never think of reaching a large number. Anyway, I have been playing with the Skinny Cards and that is what I made.
This card does not scream romance!! But my husband likes peace and quiet. So that was where I was going with my idea. That said, this card would work for a lot of people in your life.
The background is sponged using Old Olive and Balmy Blue Inks. I stamped the Winter Woods trees in Soft Suede. They are a group of trees. So I started with the ones to the left of center, then added a couple further left, and finally the ones to the right. I did use the little grass stamp to define them and give some texture to the ground.
The sentiment is from Tasteful Touches stamp set. I added the 2020-2022 In Color Dots in Cinnamon Cider for a highlight. The ribbon is the Faux Suede Trim. This is the first time I have used it and I Love it!!! It is soft and very easy to work with.
Here are the measurements for today’s card:
base is 7 1/2 X 8 3/4, scored at 3 3/4
layer is 3 1/2 X 8 1/2
white is 3 1/4 X 8 1/4
sentiment base is 3 3/4 X 1 1/2
sentiment is 3 1/2 X 1 1/4
Thank you for stopping in today. I hope you had an enjoyable weekend and ready for a week of new projects.
