Hello, and I’m sending much love to all of you wonderful Mom’s. Happy Mother’s Day!

Here’s a quick and easy Fun Fold card featuring the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper. The Paper Pack has three sheets of double-sided designs. There are floral and greenery designs on one side, and all-purpose patterns on the other. It also includes three sheets of die-cut elements that you can use on cards or to frame photos on scrapbook pages. As a fun plus, some of the die-cuts are sized to fit card fronts. This makes it easy to create quick, beautiful cards.

The Frames & Flowers DSP is on pages 28 and 29 of the new Catalog. The samples in the catalog showcase pretty packaging and tags. I thought it would be fun to create this Front Flap Fun Fold design. It showcases two sides of one of the sheets of the Designer Series Paper, die cut elements, and is quick and easy to complete.

So, let’s make a card!

Parts & Pieces

• I cut a Peach Pie cardstock card base 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″.
• The Designer Series Paper layer is 12″ x 5 1/4″.
• Score the patterned paper at 2″, 4″, 8″, and 10″.
• Make a small pencil mark on each side of the scored pattern paper layer at 3 1/8″ down from the top.
• Cut diagonally from the second score line at the top to the 3 1/8″ pencil mark on each side of the patterned paper.
• Cut diagonally from the 3 1/8″ mark to the second score line at the bottom on each sice of the patterned paper.

Take a look at the cutting diagram below. Note that this diagram is not to scale.

• Fold the patterned paper layer as follows: First score line is a mountain fold, second score line is a valley fold, third is a valley fold and the last score line is a mountain fold.
• Adhere the center portion of the DSP layer to the card base.
• Adhere the Basic White writing layer to the center of the DSP layer.
• Embellish the the card with the coordinating die cuts and add your sentiment layer.

This card is one of many designs you can create using the Frames and Flowers Specialty DSP. For more card making alternatives for this pretty patterned paper, take a look at page 22 in the Annual Catalog. It’s always fun to use a sketch for inspiration.

So, cut a simple one layer card base, score and cut a piece of patterned paper, add a center writing layer, and create something fun to say “hello”.
