New on my Blog today is how to make a Flip Flap Fun Fold card. This type of fold has been around for a while and is a lot easier to make than it looks! It is a great card fold to have in your library as it can be used with any patterned paper for any occasion, male or female, young or old. It fits into a standard size envelop for easy posting.
I LOVE the Beary Christmas Suite from Stampin’ Up! and am having lots of fun designing cards for sharing with you. The patterned papers contain some great designs including bears and other animals easily fussy cut. The punch also coordinates with some of the patterned papers as well as the stamped image. The photopolymer stamps give clean, cute images and being ‘see through’ allows you to stamp images such as the scarf in just the right place. I think this patterned paper works especially well for the Flip Flap Fun Fold card, I love all the shades of blue.
