Toile Tidings Shutter Fold Cards
On August 24th my upline Susan Campfield held a demonstrator team event. One of the make-n-take projects was a Shutter Fold Card. In fact it was that event with Carol Rosengren’s demonstration of another variation of the card that inspired the Shutter Fold cards I shared with you on August 31st. You’ll want to click here to view my how-to video for this type of card.
This is the Shutter Fold card Susan designed for us to recreate.
I find it so magical that just opening the card up gives such a fantastic presentation.
The shutter portion opening up in the middle is addicting. You’ll find that you just want to open and shut your card several times in a row.

Hope you got some inspiration from what I shared! This designer paper is ideal for making multiple cards (like Christmas cards), because there are so many similar patterns. One side is Garden Green and other is Real Red in color.

Magnolia “M&M” Bags
Back on August 10 I shared some cards and little treat bags that I made with the Come Sail Away Memories & More Card Kit. At the end of my video (found in that post), I shared a peek at those same treat bags made with the Magnolia Lane Memories & More (M&M) Card Kit. And then I never posted photos of them! So I made a couple more and thought I’d share all four of them with you today.
Here are the ones that I shared before. These sweet little treat containers measure about 3″ x 1″ x 1-3/4″ when opened. They would be great as favors for a summer party, shower or wedding.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Large card from the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack
- 6” x 4”
- score parallel to the short edge at ½”, 1”, 1-1/2”, 3-1/4”, 3-3/4” and 4-1/4”
- score parallel to the long edge at 1”
- 6” x 4”
Directions…
- After scoring, trim as shown and crease along the score lines.
- Add a strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the bottom left tab (this is the side of the container that will be on the inside).
- Flip over and add Tear & Tape Adhesive on the two bottom narrow tabs and along the section that will connect the sides of the container.
- Form the container, by connecting the side flap first. Then close in the bottom narrow tabs followed by the wider tabs.
- Pinch the sides to finish the look of the container.
On this one, I used the Take Your Pick Tool to pierce a hole through the middle. Then I used a needle threader to bring my ribbon through.
I brought the ribbon just around one side and tied a bow in the front.
On this one I pierced a hole on the side, and used a needle threader to bring the twine through. Then I created a double-sided tag by sandwiching the twine between two floral stickers in the card pack.
I filled it with shreadies and then with candy.
Do you like how I called them M&M Bags in my blog post title? Sometimes it’s just easier to abbreviate Memories & More. But I didn’t mislead you, because I really did put M&M candies in them. They are the perfect size for these kind of treats! 😁
The one above contains coffee flavored M&Ms. The one below contains mint flavored ones.
Yes, I sorted through the bags to get colors that matched. But did you know you can get M&Ms in a color of your choice!? It’s true. Our local Party City party supply store carries them. And you can order them online.

Birthday MVP Card
I’ve been enjoying my own personal retreat this week catching up on some scrapbooking. I’ll be missing out on the retreat I usually go on in January since I’ll be going to Disney World as a chaperone on my son, Nick’s Jazz Band Field Trip. Bummer right? hahaha… I’m not sad, but I couldn’t do both. So I’m set up in my craft room with photos all around me trying to get caught up a bit more on my boys albums. I really COULD use a whole month’s retreat, but I think that’s pretty common with us scrapbookers – we never feel caught up.
I bought the For the Win Stamp Set when the 2019-20 Annual Catalog first debuted because Nick loves to play sports. I thought it would be a great stamp set to scrapbook with. So far I’ve used it to make a few team birthday cards, though. I love that the new Come to Gather Designer Paper in the 2019 Holiday Catalog includes a couple sheets that look like lined notebook paper. So I brought the stamp set and this paper together and created this fun card.
Products I used… See below for a complete list of products linked to where you can find them in my online store.
Measurements…
- Real Red Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11” scored at 5-1/2”
- Basic Black Cardstock
- 4-1/8” x 5-3/8”
- 3-1/2” x 3-1/4”
- 2-3/4″ x 4″
- Whisper White Cardstock
- Scrap for stamping and punching baseball
- Scrap for stamping and punching soccer ball
- 2-1/8″ x 3-7/8″
- Two scraps for stamping and trimming inside sentiment – one for Real Red and one for Pumpkin Pie
- Pumpkin Pie Cardstock
- Scrap for stamping and punching soccer ball
- Come to Gather Designer Paper (wood grain pattern)
- 4” x 5-1/4”
- Come to Gather Designer Paper (lined notebook pattern)
- 3-1/2” x 3-1/4”
- 1-1/2″ x 5-3/8″
Directions…
- Stamp and punch the balls: basketball in Cajun Craze ink on Pumpkin Pie Cardstock scrap, baseball in Real Red ink on Whisper White Cardstock scrap, and soccer ball in Jet Black ink on Whisper White Cardstock scrap.
- Position 3-1/2” x 3-1/4” tipped a bit on the left lower section of the wood grain Come to Gather designer paper. Adhere soccer ball as shown below so it’s under the black a bit. Then adhere the black.
- Trim the excess Basic Black cardstock extending beyond the wood grain paper.
- Position the 3-1/2” x 3-1/4” lined notebook Come to Gather designer paper on the black. Stamp the “Birthday MVP” image. Then adhere the designer paper on the black so just 1/16″ of black is showing on the top and right side.
- Color the MVP letters of the sentiment stamp with Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, and Cajun Craze markers (all from the Regals Collection).
- Then trim up the excess designer paper extending beyond the wood grain paper.
- Add the basketball and the baseball as shown using Dimensionals.
- Add a copper Star Designer Element.
- For the inside, add the 1-1/2″ x 5-3/8″ lined notebook Come to Gather designer paper on the left side.
- Stamp the “hip hip HOO RAY!” sentiment in Jet Black on the 2-1/8″ x 3-7/8″ Whisper White piece. Stamp it again in Pumpkin Pin ink on a white scrap. And stamp it once again in Real Red ink on another white scrap.
- Stamp the image of three stars above the Jet Black sentiment. And add a copper Star Designer Element underneath. Attach this to the 2-3/4″ x 4″ Basic Black piece and add to the inside of the card.
- Trim around the “HOO” and around the “RAY!” on the white scraps. Then add these words to the black sentiment using Dimensionals.
I hope you enjoyed this card idea. Back to my scrapbooking now. 😁

WORLD CARD SENDING WEEK
Did you take part in World Card Making Day this past weekend? My family was out of town for a wedding. But I made several cards last week and prepared a few customer thank you when I got home on Sunday night.
Stampin’ Up! would now like to assign this week (October 7-12) World Card Sending Week. They have sent out a challenge to our demonstrators to send 50,000 cards during this time—that’s about one per demonstrator, but of course our customers’ cards count too! So report back to me (by the end of the week) to let me know how many cards you’ve mailed this week. I’ll keep a tally, and then I’ll report our amount to Stampin’ Up! (Personally I think we can surpass this goal. I’ve send 30 so far!)
