Pick a Season Fun Fold

My favorite time of year is here: Stampin’ Up!’s SaleABration sale. With qualifying purchases of $60 or $120 (before tax and shipping) earn your choice of FREE, exclusive paper crafting products. Selections include stamp sets, dies, Designer Series Paper, an embossing folder, ribbon, and embellishments. See the PDF here.

When SaleABration first started years ago, I saved my Christmas cash and birthday money so I could get all of the SaleABration freebies. Today, it’s no different. I still love to collect and play with all of the great products.

In fact, there are so many fun items, I didn’t know where to start. So, I chose to share a fun fold using the Pick a Season Stamp Set, the sentiment from the Heart Shaped Stamp Set, and the Toadstool Gardens 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper. These are just three of the fourteen available free choices.

Measurements and Details

  • Melon Mambo card stock measuring 8 1/4 x 4 1/4, scored and folded at 2 3/4 and 3 x 4 1/4
  • Basic White card stock measuring 5 1/4 x 4 and 2 3/4 x 4
  • Toadstool Garden Designer Series Paper measuring 4 x 2 1/2 and 4 x 1
  • Granny Apple Green card stock measuring 4 1/2 x 3 1/4
  • Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo, and Early Espresso ink

  • Pearl Basic Jewels

Here’s a look at the inside.

I hope you enjoy today’s project. Be sure to watch the video below to see how this card comes together.

Fitting Florets Fun Fold

Hold onto your adhesive! There’s a lot going on in this post. First, I introduce some brand-new paper crafting product available beginning today, November 1, 2022. Second, while I showcase the new product, I feature a fun fold technique (double gate fun fold).

Fitting Florets Collection

So, first: Stampin’ Up!’s Framed Florets stamp set and coordinating Framed Florets Dies can now be ordered. Buy them as a bundle and save 10 percent. This bundle is a sneak peek from the upcoming January-June 2023 Mini Catalog. (This goes live January 5, 2023.) (Click on the links at the end of this post to begin shopping.)

Better yet, grab the whole Fitting Florets Collection for just $97.50. The two stamp sets afford the ability to make handmade greeting cards and projects for all occasions, including Christmas. And, the oval-shaped dies give you a variety of options for layering and embellishment. The collection includes the:

  • Framed Florets stamp set
  • Framed Florets coordinating dies
  • Framed & Festive cling stamp set (only available through January 3, 2023, or while supplies last)
  • Fitting Florets Designer Series :Paper (only available through January 3, 2023, or while supplies last)
  • Gold Adhesive-Backed Swirls ((only available through January 3, 2023, or while supplies last)

 

Fitting Florets Collection

I used elements from the collection to create the holiday card at the top of the post. Be sure to watch the video for a visual look.

View the inside of the card below:

Fitting Florets Fun Fold Feature

The base of the card (Polished Pink) measures 5 1/2 inches by 4 1/4 inches. Cut the Designer Series Paper piece to 5 1/4 x 12 inches. Score at 2, 4, 8 and 10 inches. Fold on the score lines to create this fun opening.

Take a look at two other cards I created using this same Double Gate Fun Fold technique.

Stampin' Up!'s Christmas Season Fun Fold

The above card uses Stampin’ Up!’s Christmas Season and Christmas to Remember stamp sets, Christmas Pinecone Dies, and Painted Christmas 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.

Stampin' Up1 Sweet Candy Canes Fun Fold

For this last card (above), I used Stampin’ Up!’s Sweet Candy Canes Bundle and the Sweetest Christmas 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.
