It's time for a new challenge on the Creative Creases Challenge blog, and I hope you will join the fun by linking up your fun fold projects here: Creative Creases Challenge.
For the measurements and instructions for my fun fold card, I followed a tutorial by Connie Stewart here: 🔴 Hidden Message Card Tutorial That Went Viral in My Friend Group. I found some fun double-sided pattern paper with cute little fruits and veggies in jars on one side and a red gingham pattern on the other side and used that paper for the accordion part of my card. Then I found some coordinating cardstocks in red and orange for the other layers. I followed Connie's tutorial and assembled the card. Then I stamped "You are amazing" from Altenew's Vintage Garden stamp set and added that to the front of the card with a few yellow enamel dots from Altenew's Colorful Wonder set.
For the inside of the card, I stamped "congrats" from Altenew's Bouquet of Poppies set. I added some stamped and die cut root veggies from Lawn Fawn's Rooting For You stamp and die set. I stamped a couple extras for the back of the card, too.
To finish the card, I stamped "Wishing you" and "endless happiness & success" using stamps from Altenew's Gracious Gardenias Craft-Your-Life project kit. Then I added the extra root vegetables I had stamped and die cut for the inside of the card before adhering the panel to the back of the card.
Here's a look when the flap on the inside is open:

What a great congrats card, Carrie! I love the bright colors and fun fruit patterned paper. I can see why this fold went viral in your group. Connie is amazing at fun folds, so I finally started following her this week LOL! I hope you have a relaxing weekend, full of crafty fun, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Debbie! You'll enjoy Connie's videos and pdfs. She does a lot of fun folds and makes them easy.
DeleteThis is FABULOUS, Carrie. What a fun and creative fold. I never (and I mean only ONCE, literally) make cards with a special fold. However, I saw a cool idea today on Instagram that I am going to try. Seeing special folds is always a treat for me because they scare me and I avoid them. I need to create out of my box. Thanks for the inspiration, and thanks even more for sharing with us at Word Art Wednesday. I hope you will visit me on Instagram @karenletchworth
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll give fun folds a try, Karen! I follow you on IG and will be sure to comment on your posts there.
