Happy Happy Last-Hawwmp-Day-of-January, y’all! 🙂 Hope the week has gone well so far and that the tail-end of it looks to be good, too!
My card today is a super simple – but totally awesome! – fun fold – it’s a simple Z-fold card. It gave me lots of space to showcase my fave paper design from the Storybook Moments Specialty DSP (not to mention a bunch of fun die cuts that are PART of that paper!). And – I added a sentiment from the Storybook Friends stamp set. Take a look-see:
Good morning good morning! Hope your week is going well – and it’s not TOO cold where you are. We’re….really cold. And looking for – maybe! – some snow this afternoon. Schools here have closed pre-emptively so…we’ll see if that was a good decision! Meanwhile – just cold and windy!
My card today goes back to what I consider my go-to fun fold. No – I didn’t NEED to do a fun fold today but…it’s such an EASY fold that I thought…let’s do it! It is – of course! – a book-fold card. And it’s the perfect choice for some Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP and…a sentiment and punched shapes from the new Hugs for Love Punch Bundle. This is a bundle you might have overlooked in the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini catalog – but..hopefully this card will have you taking another gander. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Friday! Hope you’ve had a good week and are looking forward to a three-day weekend! Hopefully you have Monday off!
My card today is a fun – and easy! – fun fold – I’ve called it a Triple Flap Criss Cross Card. No clue if that’s it’s real name but…it surely does tell you what it is! This one is festooned with some die cut Beautiful Butterflies – flittering and fluttering across a background of Beautiful Bokeh DSP! And – I’ve left the inside blank – so it could be a birthday card – a new baby card – Anniversary – promotion at work…SOOO many things that might need celebrating! Take a look-see:
Good morning and Happy Friday! Hope your week has gone well and given you a good start to the New Year! 🙂
Today is our first Creative Creases Challenge of 2025! And – we’re doing a little change-up to help you out! We’re changing to a MONTHLY schedule – so we’ll go live on the first Friday (aka – today!) and the challenge will end ONE MONTH later – on the first Thursday (which is the day before the NEXT challenge will kick off!). We’re STILL all about the fun folds and hope you’ll come and join us every month!!
For our first challenge of the year, I made a Tower Card for you – highlighting the new Birthday Celebrations bundle and coordinating Wildflower Birthday Specialty DSP – BOTH of which will be available to you NEXT TUESDAY!! Whoo-hoo!! Take a look-see:
Good morning everyone! Welcome to this month’s Fun Folds Blog Hop for Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators! We’ve got a talented line-up and…I think you’re going to like what you see! This is a once-a-month hop and…all our cards will be fun folds!! How cool is that?!?
My card today is one that would be great for…graduation! Starting a new job. Retirement! Or…getting ready for a mission in Elon Musk’s SpaceX Dragon 2! Basically for anyone embarking on a new journey! It features a sneak peek of some new Online Exclusive products – coming on 7 Jan! It’s the Everyday Arches stamp set and bundled dies with some Everyday Skies 6″ x 6″ DSP to bring the stars to the show! Take a look-see:

Good morning and happy Friday! Hope your last weekend going into Christmas week is going to be fun! We’re going to a movie today and then some – maybe – last minute Christmas shopping!
My fun fold card today is another sneak peek from the upcoming Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog. It features EVERY piece of the new Friends of the Ocean Suite – the Ocean Friends Bundle, the Friends of the Ocean DSP, Soft Waves 3D Embossing Folder AND the Sunny Days Iridescent Dots! Plus – I used new Pastel Ombre Glimmer Specialty Paper – a new Online Exclusive available on 7 Jan. I put it ALL together in a bright & cheery Joy Fold card. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Friday, y’all! Hope you’ve had a good week and are ready for a weekend! It’s like…almost the last weekend before Christmas!
Okay – that’s a BIT of an exxageration, but…not by far!
My card today is a sneak peek (from the upcoming Jan-Apr 2025 Mini and the Jan-Feb 2024 Sale-a-Bration catalogs – available for ordering on 7 Jan 2025!) AND a fun fold! It’s a double easel card and I picked the fold so that I could use the new Terrific Toadstools bundle and the coordinating Toadstool Gardens 6″ x 6″ DSP. The sentiment I picked will ‘splain it all. So – take a look-see:
Happy Sunday, y’all! Hope you’re having a good weekend – and if you ventured out to the mall or…wherever – hope you got your shopping done and stayed safe. And sane. Staying sane on this shopping weekend is quite the trick! 🙂
My card today is my version of Karen Kzenacovik’s shoebox swap card from our retreat. I didn’t have the stamp sets she used on her original version but…I pulled out that oh-so-handy (thank goodness I have it!) Alpine Air Kit sentiment set. And along with the Painted Lavender and Spotlight on Nature die cuts and some pretty Perennial Lavender DSP – I created her Triple Z-Fold card. Take a look-see:
Good morning, y’all! Have you got all your T-day dinner prep work done? Or is that on today’s agenda!? If I was home – I’d be hard-boiling eggs today – maybe making the maple bars. And mixing up a batch of pimento cheese so it’d be all melded together and yummy!
My card today comes to you thanks to another good friend – and member of my Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew team – Susan Kuenzel! I got a fun envelope in the mail yesterday and it had a bunch of card cuts, a couple of sentiments and some twine and embellishments. And a little info on the fold. But no picture of the final project! So…I had a very enjoyable 45 minutes putting this diamond fold fun fold card together for you. It showcases one of my favorite bundles – the Decorative Trees bundle – and some Take a Bow DSP. Take a look-see:
Good morning and happy Tuesday-from-Colorado! Guess what today is?! Nope – you won’t guess (UNLESS you’re a demonstrator – THEN you might guess!). It’s…PRE-ORDER Day for the new Jan-Apr 2025 Mini Catalog! Whoo-hoo!! I’m so excited – and I just can’t hide it!!
And – not for nuthin’ – did you know that if YOU joined right now – you could put new catalog goodies in your Starter Kit?! YES – it’s true! And it ships for free! And – once you’ve DONE that – you can get busy AGAIN and get the rest of your list with that shiny new 20% Demonstrator Discount! AND – you’d be a Critter (that’s what we call ourselves – the members of the Critters-N-Creatin’ Krew)! BOOM! 😎
Now. Y’all know I’m in Colorado and will be here until…I just don’t know when. So – for the next little while, you’re going to see cards that I didn’t actually make. I’m going to share cards from our retreat – including the how-to’s. And – for today – I have a card that my friend Judy Hartbarger – and fellow Critter!! – made SPECIFICALLY so I’d have a card to share with you.
How. Cool. Is. That?! Thank you, my friend!
The gorgeous card she made is a front-flap fun fold card using Regal Winter DSP and some Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder! A sentiment from Unbounded Love turned it into a birthday card! Take a look-see:
