Today’s idea is a fun-fold card featuring a stamp set called This Little Piggy. I was inspired by a card that fellow demonstrator, Lorri Heiling shared using this set. And I had requests to show how to make a W-Fold. So I put those two ideas together and came up with something that I think is pretty darn cute.
I demonstrated this card in my latest Online Paper Crafting Class on Facebook this past Wednesday. Then I uploaded the recording of this class onto my YouTube channel (since I know not everyone is ON Facebook) and shared it here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video (you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog), scroll through the close-up photos, check out the products list below (keeping in mind that some of these products will be leaving soon), and then let me know if you have any questions.
I hope you enjoyed what I shared in this video. Below are measurements, close-up photos, and a product list for this W-Fold card I demonstrated.

This a really beautiful card under the circumstances. It make me smile just to look at it and the colors are just enjoyable.
Thank you Diane. Yes, I think this is the perfect stamp set for this time, too. I wish the stamp set wasn’t retiring. I think many crafters are now more interested in owning it. Thanks for your comment. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for sharing this adorable card and sentiments. I made 3 of them yesterday and will add the wording today. This stamp set always makes me smile!
Oh, I’m glad you enjoyed this AND made a few of your own. ?
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the card with the the two little pigs and that you put a mask on the one. It brought a big smile. I showed it to my husband (who hardly grunts at my cards) and he said, “that’s really cute!”
Aww…thanks Vicki! ?
Super cute! Love the mask! Will be good wish for anyone right now!
thanks Susan! ?
Outstanding and timely card! I appreciate the fact that you also maintained the “professionalism” of making a card. It is so cute and appropriate that whoever receives it is going to love it; therefore, there might have been a temptation so “slack off” a bit on some of the other elements of balance, construction, coordination of elements, etc. But after all this craziness that is going on in the world now is over, this same card, with the pigs switched out for flowers or birthday cakes, or whatever, will still be a card that anybody would feel privileged to receive.
I’m so glad you enjoyed this idea Sally. Thanks for your kind and generous comment. Stay safe and healthy!
The mask on the pig made me LOL! Thank you for that and for sharing your impressive talents in a video!
Aww…hugs (virtual of course) to you!
This Piggy card is awesome!!!! I love it. That would put a smile on anybody’s face that received it. I going to try to make it. Thank you so very much for the measurements!! Our Card ministry will be sending these out to people!!! Thanks again I smile every time I think of this card!!
I’m so VERY glad you like this Jeanne! Yay! Thank you.
Lovely card! So mind if I CASE it?
