EASTER FUN FOLD

Today I have another fun fold card for you.  This "fancy" fun fold was shared by Brandy Cox at the Winter Creativate Retreat.  I made mine a little different than her's.  Not on purpose, but I think it still works! 

As with Monday's card, fun folds are not always the easiest cards to photograph. Some fun folds don't like to stand up well on their own.  Others don't like to lay flat.  At least this one does stand up nicely for display, but it is still a little difficult (at least for me) to capture how the card really works.

It also can be much easier to just show you how fun folds are made rather than explain it clearly in a written tutorial.  So, today I'm giving you both.  Watch the video to see how it is done and download the written tutorial to have all the dimensions that you need.

In the video, I actually made the card "correctly" -- the way Brandy made her's.  Now you can decide which way you prefer.  😀😀😀

This Easter Basket Bundle is part of a Suite of Products called Easter Joy.  I purchased only the Easter Joy Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Bundle, but the suite also includes adorable embellishments (some are checkered and egg shaped), Balmy Blue gingham ribbon and the Pleasant Patterns Specialty DSP.  Use the link to the Suite in the Product List below to see everything.

The Easter Joy DSP that I used is also a Specialty Paper.  Some of the images are "foiled", but there is also a unique sheen to the paper.  This DSP is heavier weight than our "normal" DSP.  Watch the video to get a better, up-close view.

But, for me, the star of the show for this suite is the dies!  All the images in the stamp set have coordinating dies -- three adorable bunnies, a cute little chick, two flowers, a carrot and an Easter egg.  You can see many of them on today's card. 

Here's a close-up of the two inside panels.  Check out the center tulip made with just the dies -- no stamp.

However, you haven't seen my favorite dies on today's card.  There is an Easter Basket die and a die that cuts narrow strips of paper that can be woven through the basket die cut.  It is so cute!  I couldn't fit it on today's card, but I promise, you will see more of that awesomeness when I feature this bundle in a couple of weeks!

Use the above link to download the PDF tutorial.  Then follow along with the tutorial when watching the video and chose which way you want to make the card.  I do hope you give it a try!

A list of the products used on the card is shown below.
