One of the best parts of being a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator is building connections with others who also have the same passion for paper crafting, scrapbooking and card making. When I purchased the Starter Kit and joined as demonstrator on February 8, 2000 (21 years ago!), I never imagined all the friendships that would develop from holding classes, clubs, parties, team meetings, conventions, trips and more. And OH!…the sharing that we all do! Paper crafters are such giving people.
So today I am excited to share yet another fun fold idea with all of you – an idea that got passed along to me by my dear friend and upline, Susan Campfield during a recent online team event. Upon first glance you may say that it’s similar to the Tucked Insert Fun Fold Card that I shared back in June 2020. (Click here to see that style card.) The look when closed IS similar, but it’s put together in a different way.
I just showed live on YouTube about an hour ago step-by-step directions for creating this Flap Fold Card AND I shared how to “color in” using the Paper Piecing Technique with the Hey Chick and Hey Birthday Chick stamp sets and coordinating Chick and Birthday Chick die sets. And now I’m sharing that video here in my blog post. Be sure to watch the video by clicking here (or you can just click on this image below if you are already on my blog post), scroll through the close-up photos that follow, check out the measurements & products list below, 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 what I demonstrated. (Please subscribe to my YouTube channel so you can get updates when I share and go live).
