One of the loveliest Fancy Folds is a Bookfold Card, in my opinion. It starts as a rectangle and the scoring allows the card to open to a square. It can be elegant or playful – and it makes great use of smaller pieces of paper. I decided to use this lovely fold with the READ MORE

A Friendly, if flippant, Hello…
The January/February 2022 Sale-a-bration opportunity will be gone in a little over a week. This fun campaign offers quite a few stamp sets and designer series paper packs for free with purchases of $50 or $100 – AND they are only available for a limited time. (February 28th is the last day.) I have fallen READ MORE
A Winged Pop-Up card with those Island Vibes
I’ve been sharing a few quick and easy cards in my recent posts. So, it struck me that I really needed the challenge of a little bit of “paper engineering” – and I ran across this design of Sam Calcott’s Mixed Up Crafts on YouTube. I love her designs and her videos and directions are READ MORE
A cute card for a dreary winter afternoon…
Today is a very snowy day up here in New Hampshire. It is a great day for a hot cup of tea and a fun card to do. But it never fails that I have a little bit of time to play with paper (as my son calls my cardmaking hobby) and zero inspiration. I READ MORE
A glimmering Hanukkah Greeting
With Hanukkah so close, time is running out to make cards. So far, I’ve explored a gift card here and a Star of David Card here, and a wrapped gift card in my most recent post. But sometimes all you really want to do is just send a greeting to friends and family. This card READ MORE
An Arrow Fold Card for autumn
This is a fun fold card – or what I like to call “Paper Engineering”. The effect almost reminds me of a tuxedo with contrasting lapels highlighting a great looking suit! You will be surprised at how easy this actually is because there isn’t a lot of cutting – just scoring and folding. My version READ MORE
A Tower Block Card for Christmas
Today’s card looks like a feat of paper engineering! While there is a lot of cutting involved, the construction of the card itself isn’t too bad and it comes together quickly. This card offers so much to look at – and it folds flat for mailing. Then it springs up and stands up on its READ MORE
More Easy Envelope Gatefold Cards
One of the wonderful members of our team, Charlotte, quoted this one day during a meeting: Creativity has to find us working. Although the Easy Envelope Gatefold card has a lot of pieces, the recipe for the various cuts makes it pretty easy to put together. To be honest, I got a little obsessed with READ MORE
Easy Envelope Gatefold Card
This is a lovely card that looks much more complex than it really is! The square shape is a distinction. And as you can see, there is plenty of space to write a special message as well! I used the Stampin’ Up! Sweet as a Peach Bundle for this card. It has wonderful stamps and READ MORE
