This fun fold is so versatile. I love how it displays and although it looks kind of fancy, it’s all just some cuts and scores and lots of layered panels. It comes together in minutes and is easy to produce a stack of them. This will be a go-to fold when you want to make a cute card for a special someone. Try it out today!!
I really enjoy crafting cards with the Choose Happy stamps. There are so many words in the set that you can mix and match. Plus, it comes with a whole variety of small images that work so well throughout the year. Many double as holiday images, too. I find myself grabbing it often…it really is easy to work with this set. It’s a staple in my craft stash. I wanted to use blue plaid from the Timeless Plaid Designer Series Paper so I create the base and layers with Night of Navy and Darling Duckling which look nice with the plaid and still leans toward the nautical feel of the images. I stamped the sun in Darling Duckling and stamped the boat in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink so I could color it in with my Stampin’ Blends – Darling Duckling and Night of Navy, of course. I embellished it with some In-Color Flat Pearls and some Darling Duckling Ribbon. Here’s what you need to know to create this fun fold.

I love Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry paired together. This card was created using the Prairie Grass stamp set and Thoughtful Journey Designer Series Paper. Again, I used the In-Color Flat Pearls. I fussy cut the greeting on the front.
Here’s a sneak peek at some brand new products in the 2026 Mini Catalog. The Woolly Friends Bundle is absolutely adorable and it works for birthdays, babies, Easer, Valentine’s Day and is great for the young and the young at hear. I paired it with the new Easter Joy 12×12 DSP. I love that there’s some Easter prints but also some non-Easter so you can use it any time. I don’t craft a ton with green but Shy Shamrock looks so nice with this paper!! I also used Pretty in Pink. The bundle comes with the builder punch to create the adorable little Ewe. I added a wobbler to its head so it wobbles back and forth – so cute. Make sure to check this bundle out because it’s FAB-EWE-LOUS!!!
Well that’s a wrap on this week’s fun fold. I hope you’ve had a great 2025 and are all ready to start fresh in 2026!! See you “next year”.
Happy Crafting!
