I haven’t shared in a few days because my husband and I have been dealing with poison oak. Definitely not fun and it was hard to create with itching on my mind. Luckily we’re on the road to an itch free life once again.
Today I have two fun fold cards to share with you using Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. I shared another card using this same layout a few weeks ago but used our Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper. You can see that card HERE.
I started with a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and scored it in two places to make the fun fold (you can find the measurements below the Supply List). Then I cut and embossed two pieces of Basic White cardstock using the Stitched Greenery Die and adhered them to the two panels on the front of the card.
Next, I cut a piece of Fresh Freesia cardstock and adhered a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back (only on the top section) and adhered it to the top panel. I stamped the sentiment in Fresh Freesia ink onto a piece of Basic White cardstock using the Happiness Abounds stamp set and cut it out using the Double Oval Punch. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and placed it on the front of the card. To complete my card, I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside and added a Brushed Brass Butterfly to the sentiment.
Here’s another variation also using Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper but this time I used Melon Mambo cardstock and Melon Mambo ink.

Some of you may have noticed that in the past few weeks I haven’t shared a free tutorial on Saturday. I love providing free tutorials but it just came down to not having enough hours in each day to get everything done. I had to reassess and make the hard decision to discontinue them, for now. I will still continue to share here on my blog and I hope that my cards will inspire you to create. Thanks for your understanding!
Today’s card was made specifically for a special someone who’s going through a difficult time right now. It features the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts, Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper and the Double Oval Punch.
I started with a base of Pool Party cardstock and scored it in two places so the card would open in a fun way (you can find the measurements I used below the Supply List). I added a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside of the card. Then I placed two pieces of Basic White cards inside the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I adhered the two pieces to the front of the card.
I cut another piece of Pool Party cardstock and adhered a piece of Flowering Fields Designer Series Paper to the front. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the upper half of the cardstock and adhered it to the top panel. I stamped the sentiment onto Basic White cardstock in Pool Party ink using the stamp set, Inspired Thoughts. I cut it out using the Double Oval Punch, added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the top panel.
To complete the card, I added a large Brushed Brass Butterfly below the sentiment.

Before sharing today’s card, I wanted to share this update from Stampin’ Up! about the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends:
The new Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends from the All Together promotion have been a huge hit and we’re happy to see so many people embrace these new marker shades!
Unfortunately, because of global shipping delays, our North America stock of markers may sell out before our restock shipment arrives. This means there will be a period of time where the markers, and collections that include the markers, will be unavailable for purchase.
The good news is that the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends are a permanent addition to our marker collection, and we are optimistic that they will be back in stock by the launch of our 2022–2023 Annual Catalog! If you don’t snag your markers before they sell out this time around, you can purchase them in May.
Click here to see the Natural Tones Stampin’ Blends over at my Stampin’ Up! online store (scroll down to see the individual sets of markers or the entire collection of markers can be purchased)
Today’s fun fold card features several Sale-a-Bration products. Sale-a-Bration is that time of year when you can earn free products with every $50 or $100 you spend (before tax and shipping). If you’ve never heard of Sale-a-Bration, you can read all about it here. I used the Friendly Hello Bundle which includes the Friendly Hello stamp set and Friendly Hello 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper. It can be earned with a $100 purchase. I also used the Special Moments stamp set which can also be earned with a $100 purchase.
I started with a piece of Thick Basic White cardstock which is the base of the card (you can find the measurements below the Supply List). I cut a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock that I folded in half and adhered a piece of Friendly Hello Designer Series Paper to the front. I also adhered a piece of Basic White cardstock to the inside. Before adhering this piece to the card base, I cut another piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock and scored it to make a flap. I added adhesive to the front side of the flap and adhered it to the back of the Granny Apple Green/Designer Series Paper piece (use a strong adhesive such as Multipurpose Glue). Then I added adhesive to the back and placed it on the Thick Basic White cardstock.
I cut a piece of Basic White cardstock and placed it inside one of the Meadow Moments embossing folders and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. I placed it on the front of the flap. Using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, I cut two rectangles, one out of Basic White cardstock and a slightly larger one out of Granny Apple Green cardstock. I stamped the sentiment onto the Basic White rectangle using Granny Apple Green ink and the stamp set, Special Moments and then adhered it to the Granny Apple Green rectangle. I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
To complete the card, I added two Brushed Brass Butterflies to the sentiment piece.
