I put this card together using the Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card Pack. The Pack is full of beautiful Mixed Media paterns, including florals and graphics. It coordinates with the Mixed Media Florals Suite. The Memories & More Card Packs are designed for memory keeping. They’re easy to use to create card designs and 3D projects.
I thought it would be fun to put together a quick Fun Fold design using the cards, and share a PDF Tutorial with you. You can download the Tutorial, use the cutting dimensions, your favorite patterned paper, and create your custom card designs.
This fun fold has been around for a while. I’m calling it an “H-Front Flap” Fun Fold. The photo above shows the card after you lift the front flap.
The card below shows the inside of the card, including the writing layer.
You can download the Tutorial below. Have fun with it!
Do you love fuit? I am what some would call a food “grazer”. I snack on fruit all day. It’s something I’ve always done. As I’m writing this post, I have a handful of blueberries in front of me. When it’s not “berry” day, I slice an apple or red pear and keep it in front of me. I “pick” and work, and “pick” and craft.
Speaking of fruit, I’m showcasing the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper on my card. I love the bright color combinations and the whimsical fruit designs. The Paper Pack also includes more subtle designs perfect for backgrounds and accents. The Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper is a FREE Sale-A-Bration item. It’s a fun paper pack to add to your stash.
Along with the Fruit Salad Designer Series Paper, I used the Documenting The Day Stamp Set. It’s also FREE during Sale-A-Bration. This stamp set has large sentiments you can mix to customize your message. It’s fun for card making, and great for scrapbooking sentiments.
So, let’s make a card!
Pieces And Parts
I cut a Daffodil Delight cardstock card base 4 1/4″ x 11″, and scored it at 5 1/2″.
There’s a Basic White cardstock mat layer on the front of the card base. It measures 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″.
The Real Red patterned paper layer is 4″ x 5 1/4″.
I cut three patterned paper squares to create a card front design. They also showcase the patterned paper designs.
The Pumpkin Pie square is 3 1/8″ attached to a Basic White 3 1/4″ square; the Daffodil Delight square is 2 5/8″, attached to a 2 3/4″ Basic White mat layer.
The Ftuit Salad square is 1 7/8″, attached to a 2″ Basic White mat layer.
The setiments are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink and fussy cut.
I think this is a fun card to share “One Fine Day” with a friend or two.
I enjjoy cutting and piecing patterned paper. To me, it’s one of the fun parts of paper crafting. If you enjoy matching patterns, take a look at the Fruit Salad patterned paper. It’s perfect for children, masculine, and fun cards just to say “Hi”, and have yourself “One Fine Day!”

Inspired by a Junk Journal Tutorial I saw, I came up with a folio version for a gift card holder. It’s fun to use the Snowy Wonder and Reindeer Fun Bundles for this project, along with the Snowy Wonder and Reindeer Days Designer Series Paper Packs. Check in on the Last Chancce Product Category in my online store, or click on the thumbnail image at the end of this post for more details on these products.
The Snowy Days and Reindeer Fun Bundles were on top of my Wish List in the September-December Mini Catalog. I got them because of the variety of stamp and coordinating die images. The images are great for little decorative elements. Use them on cards, boxes, and gift card holders (as I’ve used them here). They’re great for creating your customized ephemera. I enjoyed mixing the elements and Designer Series Paper to create these Mini Folio Gift Card Holders.
Below are photos of the inside of two of the Folio Gift Card Holders.
PDF And Video Tutorials
The PDF Tutorial includes all the cutting dimensions you’ll need to design your version of the Folio Gift Card Holder. I also included the belly band dimensions if you choose to design yours with a belly band closure.
Keep in mind, you can use the belly band, create a magnet closure, or a little latch closure. It’s up to you!

It’s that time again. I’m getting tags ready and showcasing the Snowy Wonder Bundle. The Bundle is in the Last Chance section, while supplies last.
When I originally saw the Snowy Wonder Bundle, tags came to mind. I knew it would be a great Bundle for tags, along with cards, and creating my own ephemera for other holiday and winter projects. There are lots of little elements you can stamp and cut with the coordinating dies.
Creating these tags was easy since I cut some of the elements directly frm the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper using the coordinating dies.
So, let’s make a tag!
Parts & Pieces For the Little House Tag
I die cut the tag from one of my Tailor Made Tags Dies (they’re no longer available). You can cut a piece of Basic White cardstock 1 3/4″ x 3 3/4″, use a corner round punch to round the edges, and punch a hole in the top.
I stamped the house directly to the tag using Poppy Parade ink.
I created a “mask” of the house using the stamp and a sticky note. (You can also use Masking Sheets – #155480. I die cut the sticky note house with the coordinating die.
Place the mask house over the stamped house on the tag.
Stamp the snowflake image (using Pool Party ink), over the masked house, as shown.
Remove the mask. The snowflake appears to be behind the house.
Stamp the smaller snowflake as shown.
I stamped and die cut the two little snow drifts.
The Garden Green trees are die cuts.
Assemble the elements as shown, and use your Markers or Blends to shade the windows and door.
Technique Tip: Masking
I chose the first tag in my photo to illustrate the “masking” technique. I masked the house and stamped the snowflake over the mask to give the appearance the snowflake is behind the house. For those who have never tried “masking”, you can download and print the PDF Tutorial by clicking the blue button below. There are additional photos in the Tutorial.
The snowman and penguin tags are quick and easy. I die cut them directly from the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper.
The Snowman Tag has no stamping. The trees and snowflakes, along with the snowman, are die cuts.
The Penguin Tag has two stamped snowflakes, and I stamped the snow drifts.
You can quickly and easily put together a bunch of tags using the Snowy Wonder Bundle and the Snowy Scenes Designer Series Paper. They’re both in the Last Chancecategory on my website under “Specials & Promotions.
The Hearts of Elegance Bundle and the Marbled Elegande Designer Series Paper are new in my Online Exclusives Shop. I thought it would be fun to take a little break from Holiday cards and cut some of this beautiful Designer Series Paper.
The Heartfelt Elegance Bundle
The Bundle is themed for Valentine’s Day, however there are a few sentiments that are more generic. I featured one of them in this card, which is a birthday card. I stamped the inside with a “Happy Birthday” sentiment.
The Hearts Of Elegance Bundle #164916
The Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper
The patterned paper pack features habnd-poured marbled designs accented with gold foil. The paper is double-sided, and on the reverse side are subtle generic patterns.
The Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper – #164919
