I do love a fun fold card – I know I have said it many times before – but they are exactly that – fun to make. I usually try to do a fun fold in each of my card classes because my ladies love them – today’s card was part of my May card class and features the Irresistible Blooms Stamp set and coordinating Dies, decorative paper and Frosted Dots

As I have done for the last few years I am going to be sharing one at the start of each month. This was designed for a stamp camp in early December 2022, we had such fun making them and my ladies have made me promise to do another for 2024
I am changing things a little for this year, I recognise not everyone is into making 3D items so have created a card for each month, using elements from the calendar for that month. .

So today I share, July’s Stars and Strips ~ with a quick and simple fun fold card!
Continue readingGoodness – what a title! I wanted to catch your imagination so that you would check out today’s card! It is one of my favorite fun folds – it is quick and easy to make but has a WOW factor when the recipient takes it out of the envelope.
Continue readingTypically I would be using Stars and Stripes for my July 4th themed card, however I have shifted over to my favorite florals with the Inked and Tiled Stamp Set – partly because one of the stamps looks a bit like a firework starburst; and partly because this has become one of my favorite stamp sets from the new catalog……….. so far!
Continue readingNow we are in June my thoughts are turning to cards to celebrate July 4th ~ Independance Day here in the US. I have taken a slightly different approach for today’s card using some slightly muted Red, White and Blue and using the Elegant Border Dies to create the ‘stripes’.

Continue readingToday’s card just uses card and paper – no stamps, no ink……………… just paper/card!!!. I used the decorative paper pack, dies and embellishments from the Hello Irresistible Suite to put together my card, this suite is an online exclusive and I have put links below so you can add it to your next order!
