I’m hooked on the Pop-Out Bendy Fun Fold card! I shared my first one on August 20th with the Apple Harvest Stamp Set and Apple Blossoms Dies, the second one on August 22nd with the August ’22 Sweet Sunflowers Paper Pumpkin Kit, and the third on August 24th with the Aspen Tree Dies, Lights Aglow Designer Paper and Leaf Fall Embossing Folder. Hahaha! So if you are hoping I’ll be done, I can assure you I have different cards & projects planned for the near future. But for today, let me share with you one more.
This is my fourth one. And I created it with the Christmas Pinecones Dies.
As I promised in my August 24th Live, today I am sharing with you the measurements, supplies and photos for this one. But if you are new to how to make a card like this, I invite you to watch my how-to video from my August 24th post.

This card is a bit of work with cutting and layering all the die-cuts. So if your Christmas card list is long, I would encourage you to get the supplies you need and start creating sooner than later. 😉
I had intended to get this card posted this morning, but I was at the Minnesota State Fair all day yesterday with my son Nick,…
his high school marching band, and the many parent volunteers. I was one of these chaperones/band parent volunteers. So I got to be there right in the action of their parade performance with the water…
and to cheer them on later for their TV 5:00 news performance.
(I absolutely love all these faces! From left to right clockwise: Parker, Jaylene, Joey, Nick and Rob)
It was so amazing to see the hard work and dedication of the kids and all the others involved. It was fun to laugh at the goofy moments like these. (Nick with his girlfriend Jaylene are attached at the hip. Both of them are quad players).
And it was fun to be able to spend some relaxing fair time there with the other parents and especially my sister Renée (her son Rob is one of the bass drum players in the band). By the way…this Island Hopper is the BEST food there at the fair! My family is going back there on Tuesday. And I’m going to get this again for sure.

Lovely card and such a neat fun fold.
I was a band parent for 3 years (my daughter was the field commander). I will never forget all the fun times we had chaperoning all the kids (2 trips to Disney Land etc.)
Thanks Doris! Yes, it’s rewarding to be involved in our kids’ activities. Memories to last a lifetime!
Absolutely beautiful card, Rachel! The bendy fold is perfect for showing off the pine cones and boughs. I love it and will be CASing it for sure! The fair looks like fun too! TFS
Thanks so much Susan. 😊
